Wasn't Kathleen Turner supposed to play Arkansas district judge Susan Webber Wright in this series?

I remember reading several news articles about the new season that stated that Kathleen Turner would be playing Susan Webber Wright. And her name used to be on the Impeachment wiki page. But I haven't seen her all series, so how come she didn't show up. I guess it fell through somehow, we can only speculate what happened, but you'd think that she would be locked down for the part when they announced her participation publicly. I haven't been able to find any mention of the reason for her absence anywhere.

Here's An example mentioning her, in this Los Angeles Times article.
