Mom is losing a major character. Deadline reports sitcom star Anna Faris is leaving the CBS TV show ahead of season eight.
The hit comedy follows Christy (Faris), an aspiring lawyer who is now sober and dealing with her mother (Allison Janney), also a recovering addict. The cast also includes Mimi Kennedy, Jaime Pressly, Beth Hall, William Fichtner, and Kristen Johnston.
Despite renewing her contract for two more seasons back in 2019, Faris is leaving Mom ahead of the show’s eighth season premiere this fall. The character’s absence will be addressed when the CBS TV series returns. Production is set to begin this month in Los Angeles.
From Faris:
The past seven years on Mom have been some of the most fulfilling and rewarding of my career. I’m so thankful to Chuck, the writers, and my amazing castmates for creating a truly wonderful work experience. While my journey as Christy has come to an end, allowing me to pursue new opportunities, I’ll be watching next season and rooting for my TV family.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Mom? Will you watch season eight whenever it premieres this fall on CBS? Do you think season eight will be the end?
Not the same. Will quit watching.
I really hate the daughter has gone and the grandkids . I would love to see all of them back ,they are funny to !!!
The frist new episode not to funny to me I am still watching hoping they change their minds and have Christy and her kids come back but I really don’t believe it will make another season
I love Mom and will continue to watch it. Sorry to see Anna Faris go, but the others will be fine without her.
It is a very clever show with good writers. Sorry to see Christy leave, but the premise still holds tight and the other characters are funny as a whole and entertaining.
Yes absolutely the others are just as funny if not funnier!!!!
Renew she is a small part of the show
I think that they should add another person that will round out the show. Maybe a secret kid the Bonnie dont know of. Or a secret child that Jill didnt know of. Could be a good twist? Love the show.
You DO realize that it’s Women that give birth, and I’m not even sure how a mother would give birth to a ‘secret’ child and not know it…
Mom not the same without the daughter. Disappointed. Too bad, was my favorite show! New shows not so funny.
Very sad Anna is leaving. She completes the cast. I will watch because I love the show and it has made me laugh on many sad days. I will be hoping Anna will change her mind and return in the future. A
Yes I will continue watching Mom without Anna Faris.
I like the show just as much with all of the other cast members.
I watched the first episode without Christy and loved it. The show can hold its own without her.
Good luck Anna Faris on your future career.
Show is better now
No Christy, no mom.
Noooooo I don’t want Anna to leave. She makes the show. Sad that Bonnie did not go instead.
Love love love the show. Hope it continues. We all need to laugh these days and this show sure does it for me.
Will miss Anna. Love the show and love the cast!
I’ll still be watching.
