Jessica Biel is making a rather surprising exit from her new Peacock limited series The Good Daughter.
The 42-year-old actress signed on to both star in and executive produce the limited series, based on Karin Slaughter’s 2017 best selling book of the same name.
Now she’s leaving the project, with details about her exit currently unknown, according to Deadline.
The news also comes just three months after her husband Justin Timberlake was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in Sag Harbor, New York.
A casting search is under way to find Biel’s replacement, with a new actress playing Charlotte Quinn expected to be announced soon.

Biel has not addressed her exit from the project publicly on her verified social media channels at this time.
The limited series was given a straight-to-series order on Peacock back in late March, bypassing the pilot stage completely.
The ‘suspenseful crime drama’ series follows sisters Charlotte (Jessica Biel) and Samantha Quinn, with the latter sister having not been cast yet.
The sisters, ‘have spent the last twenty-eight years trying to piece together the lives that were fractured by a single night of violence,’ according to the show’s description.
After a similar attack in the small town of Pikeville, Charlotte is the first witness on the scene… and she has become a lawyer like her father.
Charlotte is, ‘forced to confront her own demons as the case twists through one shocking revelation after another.’
‘In the end, both she and Samantha find themselves wondering if the price of being the good daughter was worth it after all,’ the description concludes.
Author Slaughter will be writing every episode and serving as an executive producer, though it doesn’t seem that a director is attached.
