EXCLUSIVE: Of the 13-member series-regular cast of CBS’ comedy Bob ❤️ Abishola, only the two leads, Billy Gardell and Folake Olowofoyeku, will remain series regulars next season.

The others can recur in as few as five episodes in Season 5. While reducing episodic guarantees — the number of episodic fees per season to which each series regular is entitled — is becoming more common amid industrywide belt-tightening, downgrading the entire cast besides the two leads to recurring is the most dramatic talent cost-reduction move yet and a possible indication of what’s to come as linear ratings continue to slide and the networks’ push to cut license fees every year continues to grow.

I hear the cast members of Bob ❤️ Abishola, produced by Warner BrosT V, were notified this week that only Gardell and Olowofoyeku’s series-regular options for next season will be exercised.

The rest were offered to continue as recurring with a five-episode guarantee. As actors are switching from series regular to recurring, the studio is waving exclusivity, so they can take on other TV jobs while being asked to notify producers of their availability so the writers can write the scripts accordingly.
