10 Actors Who Shockingly Quit TV Shows After The First Season
9. Ross Butler - Riverdale
Riverdale, in all its wacky glory, has earned itself a loyal host of fans. Fans who, no doubt, were a little surprised when character Reggie Mantle returned for the second season with not just a different haircut but a completely different face too.
It turns out that the one to blame for this replacement is another Netflix-naïve series: 13 Reasons Why. As trashy as Riverdale is, I’m not sure why you would leave any show to go onto 13 Reasons Why - but I guess Butler had his reasons!
In the end Butler made a smart choice for his career. In an interview with Vulture, he explained that his scheduling between the two shows was causing issues. He was offered either a reduced screen time on both shows to work around his time-limitations, or a larger presence on just the one (13 Reasons Why).
Wanting to dedicate himself to a more substantial role, Butler chose the latter, and ended up giving fans the glimpse of a relationship between himself and Hannah that left them wanting more of what they can never have.
