    It was always intended that this miniseries was to be Sruthiā€™s last story for Reply All before she moved to other projects at Gimlet, but instead, she will be stepping back from the show immediately. The Reply All team and I will be discussing the plans for The Test Kitchen in the days ahead.

I hope they don't shelve this story completely - it was quite interesting.

Probably unrelated, but I felt Reply All was getting a bit stale in the past year, I was attributing it to the Spotify acquisition but now I see there's even more going on.

As for the diversity at RA - didn't they just name Emmanuel Dzotsi as one of the official co-hosts? And Sruthi has been a producer for a while. To me, it seems more like they were anti-union, not against diversity. But it's hard to make these judgements from outside.
