10 Actors Who Shockingly Quit TV Shows After The First Season
3. Jane Levy - Shameless
The US adaptation of Shameless is not to everyone’s taste, but it has managed over the years to cultivate quite a loyal fanbase. One of the show’s beloved characters is Mandy, the daughter of all-round horrible piece of work Terry Milkovich.
Her choice to leave after just one season still baffles people today, as Shameless went on to become one of Showtime’s most acclaimed and popular programs. Levy made the leap from Shameless to ABC’s Suburgatory, a show met with a lukewarm reception and cancelled after three seasons.
Luckily for Levy this departure didn’t ruin her career in the long run, as she has gone on to feature in plenty of other television shows and a few pretty good movies, including Don’t Breathe and 2019’s Evil Dead.
It was a baffling but not ultimately terrible move, and it’s pretty clear that Levy has a very fruitful career still ahead of her.
