10 Actors Who Just Quit TV Shows

10. Neve Campbell - The Lincoln Lawyer

Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer - an adaptation of Michael Connelly's series of Mickey Haller legal drama novels - counted among its main cast Neve Campbell, who portrayed Haller's (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) ex-wife Maggie McPherson throughout every episode of the first season.

Campbell's role was considerably scaled back for season two, though, appearing in just four episodes, after which Maggie abruptly left for a job in San Diego.

Campbell reportedly had to have her second season arc curtailed due to scheduling conflicts, as filming overlapped with shooting of Avalon, a mystery-drama series based on a short story also penned by Connelly.

However, once Avalon's pilot episode was shot, ABC decided not to bring it to series, and while you might assume that this would open the door for Campbell to return to The Lincoln Lawyer in its upcoming third season, that's not quite right.

Because season three will leap forward to adapt a book which Maggie doesn't appear in - Connelly's fifth book in the Haller series, The Gods of Guilt - there simply isn't a role for Campbell.

While it's possible that Campbell will return for future seasons, for now her time on The Lincoln Lawyer is over, and with Campbell possibly returning for both Twisted Metal season two and potentially even the seventh Scream film, it's entirely possible she stays gone for good.
