NBC’s long-running police drama “Chicago P.D.” is set to lose an original cast member. Multiple outlets report that LaRoyce Hawkins, who has played Officer Kevin Atwater since the series began, will exit the show as a series regular during the upcoming 14th season. Deadline reports that Hawkins will leave after 13 seasons and return briefly at the start of Season 14 to help wrap up Atwater’s storyline in the first two or three episodes. TVLine similarly states that Hawkins exits in Season 14, without detailing the exact form of the character’s departure. Variety confirms Hawkins’ departure during the 14th season, noting that the precise circumstances of Atwater’s exit are not publicly specified and are being kept under wraps. While the reports align on the timing and Hawkins’ status change, they differ slightly on specifics, with Deadline providing more detail about an early-season return. The show’s production is also described as continuing with casting for roles in the new season, though no additional casting decisions are consistently detailed across the sources.
