The Goldberg family get along with new people quite easily. In the last season, The Goldbergs introduced Kelli Berglund as Ren. She appeared only in the five episodes. But, in no time, she became Erica Dorothy Goldberg’s (Hayley Orrantia) friend at the University of Philadelphia and shortly established a relationship with Barry Norman Goldberg (Troy Gentile). However, Kelli is ready to reprise her role. But, it seems that another actress is getting ready to cast as Ren in the upcoming season. In The Goldbergs Season 8, Lauren “Ren” would be seen in a different look. Now, let’s see who would replace Kelli Berglund in The Goldbergs Season 8.
The Goldbergs, created by Adam F. Goldberg, is a sitcom on ABC. It follows Adam F. Goldberg’s family and his childhood. The is series set in the 80s and show reality through a teenager’s eyes. That is inspired by the showrunner’s videotaped events, captured with the help of his grandfather Albert “Pops” Solomon (George Segal). Naturally, Pops always seems close to Adam (Sean Giambrone) to provide valuable advice and record the events. Many of the episodes are centered on these videotaped events and are reenacted throughout the show.
The Goldbergs Season 8: Ren Would Cast Again!
Kelli’s Ren would look different in the next season. As the show is casting Big Little Lies star Carrie Wampler in the next chapter. However, Kelli is hoping to return to play Ren. Meanwhile, Wampler is all set to play the stylist, rebellious, and artsy Manhattan NYC prep school girl. Speaking on Kelli’s replacement, the news came up that Kelli was dropping the sitcom as she has some other major commitments to work on.
Kelli also cast in Starz’s Heels, the wrestling drama. There she is cast opposite Stephen Amell and will play Crystal’s character. Initially, the production house schedules the date and time, according to Kelli. So, she can efficiently work on both the shows. In fact, Kelli agreed to manage both the roles in two different shows. However, the ongoing pandemic made things worse for Kelli. And this is why the show has no other option left but to replace Kelli from The Goldbergs Season 8.
Carrie Wampler Looking Forward To Give Justice To The Character
Before landing on The Goldbergs, Carrie played Lori in Big Little Lies. Carrie has also appeared in other shows. These include 9-1-1, Tales Of Titans, Parks, And Recreation, and more. However, Carrie is famous for her Disney’s Brooke character in Austin & Ally. Now, as she is stepping in someone else shoes, it would be quite challenging for her to mark what Kelli had done before.
Although there would be massive pressure on Carrie, we still hope that fans don’t get much attached to Kelli’s Ren. So, it will be easy for Carrie to perform her character. Well, fans of The Godlbergs already aware of the recasting of stars in the show. But, considering Kelli Berglund’s small appearance in the last season, it won’t be difficult for Carrie to manage it.
The Goldbergs Season 8: Release Date!
The Goldbergs Season 8 secured its slot in ABC’s fall 2020 lineup. However, ABC has yet to announce the official release date of the eighth season. So stay tuned to get more updates related to the show.
