Anna Faris is out on Chuck Lorre's sitcom.

The sitcom Mom features Faris and Allison Janney is slated to premiere for an eighth season in October (if the COVID-19 pandemic doesn't push it back further).

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the show's production was delayed. Filming was supposed to start on September 14.

Faris who played Christy Plunkett, a single mother struggling with alcoholism. Her mother, Bonnie, is played by Janney. The show has been nominated for 10 Emmy Awards, Variety reports.

Janney won back-to-back Emmys for best supporting actress in the series.

Faris and Warner Bros. Television confirm the news and released statements in regards to the departure.

Mom without mom. Anna Faris is out.

"The past seven years on 'Mom' have been some of the most fulfilling and rewarding of my career," Faris said in her statement. "I'm so thankful to Chuck (Lorre), the writers, and my amazing castmates for creating a truly wonderful work experience."

Faris said that she wants to pursue other interests outside the sitcom.

"From the inception of Mom, Anna was the first and only choice for the role of Christy," Warner Bros Television said in a statement. "We are so proud of the stories we have been able to tell during Anna's seven years with us. We wish Anna all the best, and we thank her for her beautiful portrayal."

The seventh season featured Faris' character continuing law school while going through a series of romantic episodes said The Hollywood Reporter.

Chuck Lorre had made hit sitcoms on CBS. Mom was one of them. Now it's uncertain whether the series will survive the eighth season without Anna Faris. Faris and Allison Janney starred on Mom since its start.

Mom also has Kristen Johnson, Jaime Pressly, Beth Hall, William Fichtner and Mimi Kennedy.

In the beginning, it starred Faris, Janney, Sadie Calvano, Nate Corddry, Matt Jones and Blake Garrett Rosenthal as the main cast. It went through a series of write-off and recasting.

The series is slated to be a part of the Thursday lineup. It automatically puts CBS in a spot where they'll have to place the sitcom on the bubble of cancellation.

Lorre hasn't made any arrangements for the show post Faris. This wasn't the first time, a main character was written out of Lorre's hit sitcoms.

We remember the Charlie Sheen fiasco. At the peak of Two and a Half Men, Sheen went into a meltdown and berated the cast and Lorre. He was promptly fired out the cannon and written out by a cinematic death. The reasons for why Sheen went crazy was the fact he found out he had tested positive for HIV and completely went insane. Sheen was once the highest paid entertainer on television. He made over $140 million through that show.

During the final seasons of Two and a Half Men, they cast Ashton Kutcher as Walden and had Jon Cryer bumped up to main star. Angus T. Jones would eventually lose his mind as well and departed from the show during 11th season. He would end up making a guest appearance in the final episode.
