Nickelodeon has canceled sitcom That Girl Lay Lay after two seasons and 46 episodes.

Series star Gabrielle Nevaeh confirmed the news on her Instagram:

God will never let what is meant for you pass you by.

When “All That” officially ended in 2021, Paramount offered me the leading role on a new series entitled “That Girl Lay Lay”.

I turned it down.

At the time, I was 15 years old and I had touched every corner of Kid’s and Family entertainment. God had blessed me so abundantly, that there wasn’t a single program on Nick that I hadn’t been involved with in some way.

While I was & always will be extremely grateful for the career that I had built so far, I was ready to grow as an actor.

So I turned down the offer. Once. Then Twice. While I was & always will be extremely grateful for the career that I had built so far, I was ready to grow as an actor.

God will never let what is meant for you pass you by.

On my third time of declining the opportunity to play Sadie, Paramount insisted that I take a meeting with the Creator of the series, David A. Arnold, the Show Runners Ron Hart & John Beck & Lay Lay to meet them and read the material out loud. I agreed, prepped with the lovely casting team, & the rest was history.

This show has helped me grow immensely as an artist & a human being. I have never worked on a set that was as warm & loving as our show; that was all because of David. David was a one of a kind leader who always made me feel seen, heard, & appreciated. He would be incredibly proud of our work and the legacy that he created with TGLL.

David & I spoke often about what life would be like when That Girl Lay Lay finally closed its curtain. He always said that “one day this will just be a good memory that you look back on. It’ll just be one of those things you did once when you were a kid. You gon be aight”.

Now we have finally reached that moment that David always spoke about. In the next chapter of my career, I hope to continue to make him proud.

Thank you to the cast and crew of TGLL for making this the best three years ever. Ron & John, thank you for your unwavering kindness, humility, and empathy that brought us all together. Thank you Will Packer for the ongoing support. To my onscreen family, I am inspired by your talent & am so grateful to have shared this beautiful experience with you all.

The last two episodes of TGLL will air this Wednesday on Nick.

See you in the next chapter♥️

The final episodes premiere on March 20. Past episodes are currently streaming on Paramount+ and Netflix.
