O’Donnell’s casting comes after the exit of two regular cast members, Karen Pittman and Sara Ramirez. Pittman played Nya Wallace across the first two seasons, but stepped away due to scheduling issues as she continues to work on Apple TV+’s The Morning Show and Netflix’s Forever.

Meanwhile, Ramirez concluded their part as Che Diaz at the end of Season 2, after breaking up with Miranda for good and moving on to explore new relationships. According to Deadline, a production source said that Che’s story came to its natural end.

O’Donnell most recently played Detective Sunday on Showtime’s neo-noir crime drama American Gigolo. She also appeared in an episode of the TV adaptation of A League of Their Own, based on the 1992 film of the same name that shot her to fame. Her previous credits include SMILF, Russian Doll, I Know This Much Is True, and The Fosters.
