The Intelligence Unit is losing another member of its team next season, and this one will hurt. According to Deadline, LaRoyce Hawkins is departing the series after wrapping up Kevin Atwater’s storyline in the opening episodes of Season 14. He has appeared on the NBC series since its beginning.
Hawkins, Jason Beghe, Marina Squerciati, Patrick John Flueger, Benjamin Levy Aguilar, Amy Morton, and Arienne Mandi star in the series, which follows the Chicago Police Department’s Intelligence Unit.
During season 13, Atwater had a romantic relationship with a fellow officer from his past, who later moved to Miami. She returned later in the season to inform him that she was pregnant. With his exit now looming, it appears that he may be following her to Miami to raise his child.
Hawkins possibly hinted at his pending exit from the series by sharing a brief snippet from a recent interview on his Instagram, in which he talked about his start on the series earlier this week.
Chicago PD returns on October 7th.
What do you think? Are you sad to hear about Hawkins’ exit from Chicago PD?
