As fans of hit STARZ series ‘P-Valley’ continue to reel from Sunday’s action-packed season 2 finale (August 14), one of show’s leading stars – Elarica Johnson (who portrays the cunning and elusive Autumn Night/Lakeisha Savage) – has dealt a stunning announcement regarding her future in Chucalissa.
Details inside.
*Spoilers Below*
As seen in the season 2 finale, Autumn Night – livid after learning Uncle Clifford’s role in causing her multi-million dollar casino deal to go south – opted to take matters in her own hands by emptying The Pynk’s account and fleeing town.
While viewers weren’t given much of a clue where she ran off to, what’s clear is that she observed her own rule: “never tell anyone where you’re going.
Unknown at the time was Night’s departure was signaling the real Elarica Johnson’s exit from ‘P-Valley,’ an announcement she made via an interview with our friends at ‘EW.’
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When did you find out Autumn would be leaving?
ELARICA JOHNSON: Well, actually I knew when it was happening because it was my choice. It’s something I discussed with Katori [Hall]. Looking at the scripts this season, and the journeys of the characters and where the Pynk was going, Autumn’s journey felt like it was coming to an end. She has done what she needed to do and it was time for her to move on.
To play a little what if – what do you think it would have looked like if Autumn had stayed and had the babies in Chucalissa?
There’s two sides to this in terms of Autumn and Andre for me. I’ve always felt they’re soulmates and if they were where they were supposed to be it would be great. Then there’s another side of Autumn who is always striving for better or needing to push forward and make more for herself, for the memory of her daughter, who may not see settling in Chucalissa as enough for her. Both sides work. [They] would make a great couple if there wasn’t so much messy stuff in between. I don’t know what that would look like, but I do know they do have this bond and bringing a child into a relationship with two people who really care for each other could be a good experience for the both of them.

Fans will next be able to catch Johnson portraying Janis Gaye, ex-wife of R&B legend Marvin Gaye, in his forthcoming biopic ‘Sexual Healing.’ The film also stars Vicky Krieps, Rowena King, Clarke Peters, and more.

Damn she was the hottest and my absolutely favorite with those beautiful and perfect tittties!!!!!
Ew. P**!
It’s good for her. She was great in season 1. But season 2 she didn’t add much to the show. Her exit won’t effect the show. However Derrick needs to be killedoff in the first episode of season 3 tho!
Kill off Uncle Cliff
He is a plague..
Second season was terrible 👎🏽
There might not be a season 3 so I don’t blame her for moving on to other opportunities. Striking the iron while it’s hot.
