Tony Award and Emmy Award winner Kristin Chenoweth is departing the CBS series The Good Wife following her previously reported injury sustained last month on the set of the show, according to People.

Chenoweth had just joined the hit series in what was supposed to be a recurring role as a top-notch political reporter who looks into the marriage of Peter and Alicia Florrick (played by Chris Noth and Julianna Margulies). The actress will still appear on the season 4 premiere, airing on September 30.

Chenoweth won the Tony for You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown and has appeared on Broadway in such shows as Wicked, Promises, Promises, and The Apple Tree. She won an Emmy for Pushing Daisies and recently starred on ABC’s GCB.
