Jennifer Esposito won’t return to the fourth season of Mistresses when it debuts next summer. ABC just announced on Friday that the show had been renewed for another season.
Playing the role of fashion designer Calista Raines, Jennifer Esposito was under contract for just one year when she signed on to the cast of Mistresses after Alyssa Milano left the show.
Since her character was last seen contemplating suicide, that’s likely how her departure will be written into the script for next summer.
