This just in: Big Love fans can let out a sigh of relief.

Yes, Amanda Seyfried is exiting the series after this season's eighth episode. But, no, she won't be killed off.

In an interview with MTV, the actress even said "I'll probably guest star on season five."

Aside from leaving the drama to pursue a movie career (Seyfried's Dear John ranked first at the box office last weekend), Seyfried further explained the reasons behind her departure:

"I'd actually been part of it (the show) for six years and it was a big commitment for not a lot of work. It's an ensemble cast so not everybody gets to work every day... I wanted to move away to New York."

Seyfried will next star in the romantic drama Letters To Juliet. Will you miss her as Sarah on Big Love?
