Will Leavitt Appear in Season 5?
Production on Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives was paused in March following news of an alleged domestic violence incident involving star Taylor Frankie Paul, whose season of The Bachelorette was canceled over the situation.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show’s fifth season had already started filming, with the cast visiting Leavitt for one of her Broadway performances in February. The outlet reports that whether or not Leavitt will be a full-time cast member in Season 5, or if she will only make guest appearances, is not yet known.
