14 Major Cast Exits to Remember as ‘One Chicago,’ ‘Law & Order’ and ‘FBI’ Series Return

As a longtime fan of Dick Wolf’s procedurals, I must admit that the constant changes in casts have become as predictable as the plot twists themselves! Every year, it feels like I need a scorecard to keep track of who’s coming and going.


In Dick Wolf’s procedural dramas, consistency lies in their tendency to evolve. Across three “FBI” spin-offs, three “Law & Order” installments, and three shows within the “One Chicago” franchise, each new season often brings about significant changes in the cast members.

This year, that figure appears greater than any other I’ve seen before. Take a look at the following list to find out who won’t be appearing in the next seasons.

    Chicago Fire

However, Dermot Mulroney has come on board as the new chief, accompanied by KaDee Strickland who plays his estranged wife. Additionally, Jake Lockett and Jocelyn Hudon, previously recurring actors, have been promoted to series regulars.

Also, after nine seasons, the showrunners Diane Frolov and Andy Schneider are leaving their positions. They will be succeeded by Allen MacDonald.
