The show became an instant hit and propel the career of Jackson , Smith , and Fawcett – who left the show after the first season and was replaced by Cheryl Ladd .

The beneficial thing for Banks is , if she indeed casts Stewart , she ’ll be able-bodied to bet on Nyong’o should she sign on on , as well as a third Angel – since the film foretell to be more of an ensemble than a star fomite for one of the actors .
