Quick Hits: Robert Knepper leaving iZombie after season 4; Lady Dynamite canceled; Cosmos: Possible Worlds ordered
According to Slash Film, Knepper only has a one-year deal for the CW series and, per Mark Pedowitz, his arc is going to be wrapped up over the course of the coming episodes. His apparent exit at the end of the season is unrelated to accusations of sexual misconduct that have been filed against him the past several weeks. Knepper has denied the allegations, but several women have come forward to share different stories of their past interactions with the actor.
For some, the decision by The CW and Warner Bros. TV to keep Knepper following an internal investigation was controversial. While keeping the actor may have been an easier move for production to make at the time given the timing of the allegations, this could end up being a long and difficult road for the show to get away from it this season.
