Question: Now that Anna Faris won’t be returning to Mom, is there any chance they’ll find someone in her age range to join the show? Pauley Perrette is available again! —Sherry
Matt Roush: None of the reporting I’ve seen about the series so far indicates they’re looking for someone to join the ensemble to make up for Anna leaving, but anything’s possible. I figure Mom will deal with the implications of Christy’s departure for a while before starting to look for a new recruit. Besides, would it surprise you to learn that Jaime Pressly, who plays Jill, is actually younger than Anna Faris (by less than a year)? And Pauley Perrette is actually closer to Kristen Johnston in age. She’d made a great guest star, though!
Question: We are binge-watching all of the episodes of Schitt’s Creek. I may be 79 years old, and this show is nothing like my generation is supposed to enjoy. Well, I’m truly loving it. Please tell me there will be more. —Lois, Rainbow City, AL
Matt Roush: When you get to the end of the sixth season, which pulled off that historic Emmy sweep, that’s all there is. It was announced well in advance that this would be the final season, and once you see it, you’ll know why. Even when you’re left wanting more, there are few things more satisfying than a show going out on a creative high.
