After Luna’s tragic exit, fans want more of Lisa Yamada — and they’re in luck

Luna’s Death Shakes the Canvas

The Bold and the Beautiful delivered a gut-punch in November 2025 when Luna Nozawa was declared dead following a shocking hit-and-run. Played by Lisa Yamada, Luna had quickly become a fan-favorite with her charm, vulnerability, and fierce loyalty.

Her death sent shockwaves across multiple storylines—from Finn and Steffy’s rocky marriage to Dylan’s emotional unraveling. And now, with Dylan’s confession looming and questions surrounding the accident’s true cause, Luna’s presence still lingers in the air.

But while her character’s future remains unclear (is Luna really gone?), one thing is certain: Lisa Yamada’s acting career is just getting started.

Where to See Lisa Yamada Now

If you’re already missing Yamada on your daytime screen, there’s good news—she’s appeared in several critically acclaimed dramas you can stream right now.

In Hulu’s Little Fires Everywhere, Yamada plays Serena Wong, a seemingly typical high school “queen bee” who adds depth and contrast to the main storyline. The series, based on the best-selling novel, is available on Hulu, Prime Video, and Disney+.

She also took on a more emotionally layered role in Cruel Summer, where she portrays Parker Tanaka, an aspiring musician caught in a web of secrets and shifting loyalties. Seasons 1 and 2 of Cruel Summer are streaming on Hulu and Disney+.

Yamada’s brief appearance in All American also deserves a mention. In the episode titled Can It All Be So Simple, she plays Sara, part of a storyline tied to the show’s themes of ambition, identity, and resilience. All seasons are available on Netflix and The CW app.

What’s Next for Yamada?

In May 2025, Lisa Yamada was cast in a major new role—she’s joining the Legally Blonde prequel series Elle, set to premiere on Prime Video in 2026. She’ll play Amber, a recurring character that Yamada described as “refreshing” and different from her past roles.

The series is expected to explore Elle Woods’ younger years, and if renewed for a second season, it may signal that Yamada’s long-term involvement with Bold and the Beautiful has come to a close—at least for now.

Could Luna Still Be Alive?

Despite Deputy Chief Baker confirming Luna’s death, some fans aren’t convinced. After all, B&B has a long history of shocking returns, secret hospitalizations, and switched identities. With Dylan now confessing and guilt swallowing Will and Electra’s world, some believe a twist is still coming.
