Law & Order is losing another member of its cast; Camryn Manheim (above) will not be returning to the series for season 24, per Variety. She plays Lieutenant Kate Dixon in the series revival. A reason for her departure was not given, but her final appearance on the series will be this week’s 23rd season finale.
Starring Manheim, Hugh Dancy, Odelya Halevi, Mehcad Brooks, Reid Scott, and Tony Goldwyn, Law & Order follows the police officers and district attorneys of the NYPD.
Creator Dick Wolf said the following about her exit from the NBC series:
“I thank Camryn for her three wonderful seasons helping us relaunch Law & Order. She is a class act, and I wish her nothing but the best for her next chapter.”
Sam Waterston departed the series earlier this season and his character was replaced by DA Nicholas Baxter (Goldwyn).
NBC announced the Law & Order’s renewal for the 2024-25 TV season in March.
What do you think? Have you enjoyed this procedural drama series? Are you disappointed about Manheim’s exit?
Our family always watch the program and sorry to see any long standing actor leave.
I don’t watch the show but I really like Camryn. Hopefully she will be on something else soon.
I love Camryn and really sorry to see her leave.
She is a class act as I have ALWAYS liked her work in everything she has been in. Whatever the reason she is leaving I hope she and her family are alright. Best wishes to her and hope to see her again in the future.
