Speaking to Rotten Tomatoes in 2024, Storm Reid revealed that she was no longer part of the show. She stated: “I’m very excited for season 3. Unfortunately, Gia’s not returning to the third season, but I am so so indebted to the cast and the crew of that show." At the time, Storm did not expand on why she won't star in season 3.

Now, Storm has discussed her exit and the reason behind it further in a new interview with TMZ. She stated: "I got stuff going on. I'm about to get my degree, graduate from USC, producing. I have a production company that I'm doing a lot of work with. Schedules just can't align sometimes. It's a scheduling thing."
