Fans eager to see the former Packed to the Rafters stars back on our screens will be disappointed to hear that Jessica Marais has reportedly pulled out of new drama Halifax: Retribution.

WATCH: Jessica Marais pulls out of Logies

The Nine Network series is set to air next year, but according to the Sunday Herald Sun, the 34-year-old actress has quit the gig, which would’ve seen her act alongside Rebecca Gibney.

Keep an eye out for that as well as the usual travel posts & lots of stories to make you jealous 😁. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Big big love & thanks to everyone who's been by my side during this hectic time. Things are getting better & it's only up from here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks for reading! 🙏🏻🇺🇸🔥🍻🍜✈️🎉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸 #onfilm @ash.lim 💕

Last year, Jess pulled out of Nine’s Bad Mothers just one month before it began filming in October, “to focus on her health and spend time with her family”.
