Popstar Demi Lovato has stepped away from the upcoming NBC series Hungry. According to a report from Deadline, the Dancing With The Devil singer resigned from their acting role right before production started.
A source close to the set revealed that their departure was due to “scheduling conflicts.” The upcoming series would have been Lovato’s first leading television role since they starred on Disney Channel’s Sonny With a Chance between 2009 and 2011.
Even though their no longer acting in the multi-camera comedy, Lovato is still attached as one of the project’s executive producers.
Luckily, the series’ future hasn’t stayed in limbo for long. On 6 March, Deadline announced that Modern Family star Ariel Winter would be taking over the singer’s spot.
