The actress and Broadway star, who plays wealthy university student Leighton on the Max series, will leave as a series regular in the upcoming third season. Rapp, who reprises her role as Regina George from themusical in the forthcoming big-screen adaptation, will appear in"a handful of episodes" in a recurring capacity before exiting the series, a Max rep confirms to ET.
"A lot of queer work gets belittled, but playing Leighton has changed my life," she continued."I love who I am 10x more than I did before knowing her. I hope she gave y'all a little bit of that too. She's such a tiny part of representation, but even the tiny parts count. I wouldn't be half the person I am without her, and y'all, I love that b*tch more than you know.
"I'm so excited for this season and I can't wait for you to see what we have coming for her and the girls,' Rapp closed.
The series follows four roommates at Essex College as they navigate school, friendships, relationships and sex, and also stars Pauline Chalamet as Kimberly, Amrit Kaur as Bela and Alya Chanelle Scott as Whitney. Season 2 ended with Rapp's Leighton coming out as a lesbian to her father and quitting her college sorority after several alumni make offensive remarks about the trans and nonbinary community.
