Grant Imahara, Kari Byron and Tory Belleci To Leave MYTHBUSTERS

Posted on by

Well here’s one that’ll leave you shocked: following the conclusion the show’s latest season, Discovery has announced that Grant Imahara, Kari Byron and Tory Belleci, better known as the M7 Build Team, will no longer be featured on the network’s hit series, MythBusters. The behind-the-scenes reasoning for the change is unknown, but based on the following video message, it appears the plan isn’t to replace the cast members, but rather to take the show back to its season one roots that featured only Adam and Jamie as the mythbusting team:

We want to thank @KariByron @GrantImahara @ToryBelleci for their tireless work, and wish them all the best. https://amp.twimg.com/v/78aa5ea2-9cdb-4b56-9166-2d0cda206eff …

While Savage has said in the past that 2015 was going to be a reboot for the series in terms of look, it’s surprising to learn the reboot also includes a cast shake-up. The Build Team’s been around since the second season, and it’s hard to imagine MythBusters without them. They will certainly be missed, but at least there will always be Netflix and YouTube to remind us of how awesome Kari, Grant, and Tory were.

The show is taking a new direction. It was an amazing run. I learned so much about myself and the world. I love you all @MythBusters

I am sad for an ending but there will be exciting new adventures for us.

Grant Imahara        ? @grantimahara

Thanks @MythBusters for allowing us to teach science in a whole new way. Also, explosions. Now, on to the next adventure!

There’s currently no word on what the trio will be up to next, or even if that next phase will feature them all working together, but whatever it is, we know we’ll be there to check it out.
