Originally, the first two seasons starred ‘Kitty’ Chicha Amatayakul as the main lead, Nanno, the evil entity who goes around different schools to fight bad people. Actress ‘Nink’ Chanya McClory had joined the second season as a series regular along with Kitty, playing the role of Yuri, a similar character who was more focused on exacting revenge rather than punishing crimes. Fans had been expecting that Kitty would return for the third season as well, however, as the final poster was released, fans were shocked to find that she had been replaced. ‘Girl From Nowhere: The Reset’ will be marked as a spin-off from the original series.

One person’s comment about the matter read, “love becky but does she have the range to portray nanno???? again noah fence… I just can’t picture her being super expressive?”, while another person shared that, “the pressure and expectations for this role are huge. when you say nanno, you automatically think of kitty chicha and her evil laugh. stepping into this character comes with a lot of pressure.”
