Who's missing from the cast list?

If you're a devoted fan of the original series, you'll quickly notice the absence of Brooklynn, voiced by the immensely talented Jenna Ortega, who you'll likely recognize from her starring role in Netflix's hit gothic fantasy mystery series, Wednesday.

According to Deadline, it seems that Brooklynn has met her demise in a tragic dinosaur encounter, marking the end of her journey. Unfortunately for fans, Ortega won't be returning to reprise her role, unless through the magic of flashback sequences utilizing archival recordings or footage.

With Ortega being a high-demand actress, with a fully packed schedule of commitments, it's likely that her busy schedule prevented her from returning to the series, ultimately shaping the new direction of the show without her iconic character.

While Brooklynn's departure may leave a void for fans, the show's evolution promises fresh adventures and surprises as it forges ahead without her presence.
