Jesse Williams Confirms Only Murders In The Building Exit Ahead Of Season 4: 'I'm Not On That Show Anymore'
Jesse Williams has left the building.
The Grey's Anatomy vet, who recurred on Season 3 of Only Murders in the Building, has declared that his time on the Hulu comedy has come to an end.
"I'm not on that show anymore," he tells People. TVLine has reached out to Hulu for comment.
Williams made his Only Murders debut in last August's Season 3 premiere when he was introduced as Tobert (pronounced like Robert, but with a T), a filmmaker who became romantically entangled with Selena Gomez's Mabel Mora.
In the Season 3 finale, Tobert invited Mabel to accompany him to Los Angeles, where he'd just been offered an independent movie. Mabel told him that she would visit, and it has since been revealed that Only Murders will go bicoastal in Season 4. Alas, Williams will not return.
Williams is best known for his starring role as Dr. Jackson Avery on the aforementioned ABC medical soap Grey's Anatomy. Though he left at the end of Season 17, he has continued to reprise Jackson on a recurring basis, most recently appearing in a pair of Season 19 episodes.
He'll next produce and star in Costiera, an English-language, Italian action drama for Prime Video. Based on an idea by Luca Bernabei (Devils), the upcoming series centers on Williams' Daniel De Luca, "a half-Italian former U.S. marine who returns to Italy, the land of his childhood, as a fixer in one of the world's most luxurious hotels on the spectacular Positano coastline," per Deadline. "Shortly after Daniel — or DD, as everybody knows him — starts working at the hotel, one of the owner's daughters disappears. He must do whatever it takes to find her and bring her home while still solving the ever-changing problems of the exclusive hotel guests."
Emmy-winning writer Adam Bernstein (Breaking Bad, Fargo) on board to direct. The series is due out in 2025.
