A key character is leaving Law & Order: SVU. Deadline reports Philip Winchester is departing the NBC TV show ahead of season 21.
Winchester joined the series as Asst. District Attorney Peter Stone in season 19 after originating the character on Chicago Justice. The long-running NBC legal drama also stars Mariska Hargitay, Ice-T, Kelli Giddish, and Peter Scanavino.
Just after NBC renewed Law & Order: SVU for a historic 21st season, Winchester announced he will be leaving the series after season 20:
Sadly for me, Peter stone and his “the facts don’t care about you’re feelings” attitude will not be returning. A huge tip of the hat to my amazing fans and not so big of fans. You ALL make me work harder. Thank you! See you on the next adventure.
