What Happened to Central Park Show?
Kristen Bell as Molly Tillermann
Talented actress Kristen Bell lent her voice to the character Molly Tillerman in Season 1 of Central Park. However, in 2020, the actress announced her exit from the Central Park show amidst the burgeoning social justice movements in response to the murder of George Floyd. The character of Molly is biracial, and Bell decided to leave in order to allow a better representation of the role.
“After reflection, Kristen along with the entire creative team recognizes that the casting of the character of Molly is an opportunity to get representation right – to cast a Black or mixed-race actress and give Molly a voice that resonates with all of the nuance and experiences of the character as we’ve drawn her,” Bouchard and Co. said in a statement about the situation.
Emmy Raver-Lampman
To that end, actress Emmy Raver-Lampman, Allison Hargreeves of Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy, was cast to voice Molly in Season 3. However, it was recently announced that Bell will return to the animated series. Since her character was replaced by Raver-Lampman, Bell will lend her voice to a new character named Abby, Paige’s sister.
