Yunjin Kim, who played series regular (and regular hot mess) Dr. Karen Kim for all four seasons of ABC’s frothy summer soap, will not return for a potential Season 5, sources confirm to TVLine.
The news isn’t a huge shock, as the Season 4 finale kicked off with a funeral for Kim’s character, who ended the penultimate installment careening toward a balcony — and propelled by a broken heel — toward her suicidal nanny Lydia (Alanna Masterson).

ABC has yet to officially cancel or renew Mistresses Season 5, placing the show in limbo.
Does Kim’s demise and departure signal the end of Mistresses, or will the ABC renewal gods grant a fifth season? Stay tuned…
Elaine says
As far as I am concerned, the show does not justify the title. Where are the mistresses. In addition they have portrayed these women as dumb as a box of rocks. First Savvy gets pregnant and did not plan too. Then Karen has a stupid threesome relationship and she ends up pregnant and finally April gets pregnant and does not mean too. They portray them all as so dumb that they do not practice birth control. What happened to Karen’s baby. I assume the biological father has her but he was not even at the funeral. I think this will be the last year, and since they have apparently run out of fresh storylines, I bid it adieu
