In an interview with Deadline, executive producer Jonathan Tolins addressed developments in Kaya’s story. He said, “We’re excited that the character got her promotion and achieved that dream. She’s not leaving the world of the show. She’s just not going to be with us every day. I don’t want to make too much of the change.”

Carra Patterson had decided to step down from her role as a series regular and resume playing Kaya in a recurring capacity in Elsbeth Season 3.

In a statement to Deadline, she assured fans that her character is not leaving the show, but will remain a recurring star. She reveals that Kaya Blanke is embarking on a new journey as a Detective, and she is excited for fans to see how her story unfolds moving forward.

Extending her gratitude to fans, cast, and crew, she said, “But we will see Kaya again – fans will find out what she’s been up to in her new role as ‘Detective’ next season when I come back to guest star and play with Carrie and Wendell.  I am beyond grateful to the cast, crew, and producers, and of course, the fans, for all the love and support.”
