How it goes now: Mom’s eighth season features his regular players, Mimi Kennedy, Kristen Johnston, Allison Janney, Jaime Pressley and Beth Hall
What happened?! Allison Janney sat down this week to chat with Ellen DeGeneres about Anna Faris who abruptly left their hit CBS show Mom last September.
“We’re just glad she’s doing what she wants to do now, and we’re even happier to be able to tell these stories about these great women in recovery, ‘she said, referring to the series’ play in An Alcoholics Anonymous Group.
Janney continues: ‘And I think there are some amazing characters that have been established. And people love the show, so we’ll keep telling the stories for as long as we can. ‘

‘Very Strange’: Anna Faris was marketed as the lead star and character of the show Mom when it premiered in 2013, but it will now continue without her
Mom was created by Chuck Lorre, Eddie Gorodetsky and Gemma Baker. Mom was initially considered a vehicle for Faris, after her series of successful comedic roles in movies, including The House Bunny and Smiley Face.
However, the program, which deals with the topic of recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, has had a fair share of the changes over the seasons.
By season three, it was less about Faris’ character, Christy and her children, and more about an ensemble comedy – with supporting actors Jaime Pressley, Mimi Kennedy and Beth Hall becoming more topical.
In 2018, Kristen Johnston made a huge impact on Tammy Diffendorf, Bonnie (Janney)’s foster sister who ended up in jail after she wanted to rob an Outback Steakhouse.
It was not long before Johnston was invited to be a regular series, and the show is now seen as an ensemble piece between the five actors – probably starring Janney.
Meanwhile, during her shock exit, Faris issued a statement saying, “The last seven years of Motherhood have been the most satisfying and rewarding in my career.”
She added: ‘I am so grateful to Chuck [Lorre], the writers and my incredible cast for creating a wonderful work experience. ‘
