So the PD showrunners have been very silent on the Jesse situation. The Med showrunners and actors though, not so much
The med showrunners confirmed the episode he leaves, Nick stated what exit he doesn't get...
and also kind of all but confirmed it wasn't Jesse's choice. He said something like "These things happen in our industry." So not outright, but the implication is there.
The guy that left Med literally only joined as a regular last season. No way was his contract up.
Honestly it's horrific that there is a list, it being so long makes it worse, and that's likely barely a drop in the ocean (I didn't include Lauren German, although she has confirmed it wasn't her choice). Not at all surprising either that the vast majority are minorities and women.
Sure it will likely go up in the +7s, but they've also moved streaming all onto
paid peacock, which people don't want to get, so probably not as much as it usually does, and everyone knows the lives matter most anyway. Losing 17% from your season average for a
premiere is not a good sign.
