Kristen Bell to Return to 'Central Park' as a New Character
The 42-year-old Frozen actress will be returning to the Apple TV+ animated series for Season 3, and she’ll be back as a brand new character.
In Season 3, Kristen will be voicing the character of Abby, via Deadline. Abby is the younger sister of Paige, voiced by her Bad Moms co-star Kathryn Hahn.
In the first season of Central Park, s she voiced Molly, the mixed-race daughter of Paige and Owen. She stepped away from the role in 2020, issuing a statement about the casting.
“This is a time to acknowledge our acts of complicity. Here is one of mine. Playing the character of Molly on Central Park shows a lack of awareness of my pervasive privilege
Casting a mixed race character with a white actress undermines the specificity of the mixed race and Black American experience.
It was wrong and we, on the Central Park team, are pledging to make it right,” she said.
