Whitney Leavitt is getting ready to bid goodbye to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
In a post to TikTok on July 7, the reality TV personality, 33, shared a behind-the-scenes look as she filmed confessionals for the hit Hulu series for what might be the final time.
“Last time on this couch…” wrote Leavitt in overlaid text on a video of her dancing in the filming studio.
“I still got some things to say 👀😝🤭” she added coyly in the caption.
In May, the Utah native announced that she would be departing from Mormon Wives after the show’s fifth season, later revealing that she was starting a production company.
The move followed her record-breaking run in the iconic role of Roxie Hart in Broadway’s Chicago earlier this year: She was extended twice, and the show notched the musical’s highest-weekly sales in its 29-year history with her at the helm. Last year, Leavitt also wowed audiences with her semi-finalist finish on the 34th season of Dancing with the Stars, twirling alongside pro partner Mark Ballas.
“It’s been about four years of my life,” Leavitt told Kelly Clarkson of her time on Mormon Wives during a May appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “It just feels like a chapter that’s closing in my life. My cup is full, and it just feels like it’s time. So I’m excited.”
Leavitt’s departure comes at an uncertain time for Mormon Wives, which was thrust into the headlines after Utah police opened a pair of domestic violence investigations into star Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen in February.
In March, amid news of the investigations, sources confirmed to PEOPLE that production had halted for the show’s fifth season, though in May, a source told PEOPLE that Hulu intended to film only new confessionals for what would be a five-episode season 5.
The streamer has yet to announce an official release date for the season.
