Carrie Wampler (Big Little Lies) will be joining the cast of The Goldbergs in Season 8 in order to replace Kelli Berglund as Ren.
The actress was also previously cast for a leading role in the upcoming Starz wrestling drama Heels, where she will be playing the character Crystal opposite Arrow’s Stephen Amell.
According to Deadline, Berglund is now having to drop the sitcom role due to another major work commitment.
While the production-schedule timing might have worked out in her favor when Berglund first agreed to the dual roles, COVID obviously knocked things for a loop, thus making it impossible for her to continue on with The Goldbergs.
