Kelli Berglund will no longer be on The Goldbergs!
The 24-year-old actress had to depart from her recurring role of Ren for the upcoming eighth season due to another commitment.
While Kelli is leaving the show, the character will stay and get a major recurring part in the new season, which has already started filming.
Actress Carrie Wampler will be taking over the role, who is “a stylish, artsy, rebellious and effortless Manhattan NYC prep school girl who Erica (Hayley Orrantia) befriends at college. She’s also Barry’s (Troy Gentile) new girlfriend,” Deadline reports.
You may recognize Carrie from her recurring role of Brooke on Austin & Ally, or as Lori in Big Little Lies.
If you missed it, earlier this year Kelli joined the cast of Stephen Amell‘s new show Heels!
Hayley Orrantia and the cast of The Goldbergs are getting back to work for season eight!

“We’re back for Season 8! Here’s a look into the #BTS of how we’re filming #TheGoldbergs during this time! Comment what else you want to see! ✨,” she captioned a video on TikTok.
Hayley showed off her trailer, how the costumes are, and everything being covered in containers and plastic to keep from being contaminated.
She also showed video of the hair and makeup trailer, riding to set with her co-star Sam Lerner and answered a question about wearing masks.

Rowan Blanchard is returning to The Goldbergs tonight for the show’s 100th episode.
The actress plays Jackie, Adam’s girlfriend in the show — and did you know that she was based off a real person?
Creator Adam Goldberg told EW that Jackie was actually based off the woman who plays her mother in the show.
“A lot of the stories this year center around Adam and his girlfriend Jackie, who’s a real person – she’s actually an actor who played [Jackie's] mom last year and is going to be recurring playing her TV mom, which is so wild,” he said. “I actually met the real Jackie in theater camp. Back then, to find someone with your interests was so rare. This was like a legitimate ’80s girl geek, so we’re calling it ‘nerd love.’”
For the ep, the real Adam says that it might tear Jackie and Adam’s relationship apart.
“She’s a Trekkie and he’s a major Star Wars kid and it tears their relationship apart. I’m very proud of that story. It rings very true for me.”
The Goldbergs airs TONIGHT @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
