She's not going anywhere. All the main long-term casts' contracts come up right now. While I expect nearly all of them to reup, you can always one expect one or two surprises from people who don't re-sign. I doubt it would be Jo, but you can never be sure... >>> ‘Tulsa King’: Frank Grillo Joins Season 2 Of Paramount+ Series  (April 4) >>> >>> https://deadline.com/2024/04/tulsa-king-frank-grillo-season-2-1235876246/ >> >> This may actually get me to check this out... > > You should.
