Chenoweth played Olive Snook in Fuller’s 2007-2009 ABC dramedy Pushing Daisies, and she remains close with the acclaimed scribe, whom she calls her “brother.”
The goddess of fertility, spring, bunnies, etc. won’t appear in American Gods‘ forthcoming Season 2 — at least not in the guise of Kristin Chenoweth, who played her in the fantasy drama’s freshman outing.
The actress confirmed her departure from the show exclusively to TVLine Monday at a press event for the upcoming NBC special A Very Wicked Halloween: Celebrating 15 years on Broadway.
“I couldn’t come back without him,” Chenoweth said.
