Scot Cavendish, a Locke & Key cast member, Kinsey’s prospective love interest, the leader of the Savini Squad, and a British student filmmaker at Matheson Academy, is portrayed by Petrice Jones. The personal life of Petrice is something that viewers are curious to learn more about, according to Dreshare.
Why Did Petrice Jones Leave Step Up High Water?
Petrice Jones left Step Up High Water because he started pursuing other career choices. Petrice could not give his time for the third season.
Even though there were no falling outs, Jones decided that he wanted to explore his career more. According to IMDB, he was replaced in the show by Keiynan Lonsdale.
The following season of “Step Up,” which was picked up by Starz in May 2020 after the show, originally known as “Step Up: High Water,” was canceled on YouTube. It did not include Jones because he had accepted a series of regular positions on another program, a source told TheWrap.
Jones is still loved and cherished for his time with the Step Up crew. Even though he started to pursue his other career, he will still be badly missed for his appearance in Step Up High Water.
Petrice took the role in a different show, because of which he needed to give both the shows time. He had to let Step Up go for him to pursue his other career endeavors.
