Camryn Manheim is leaving Law & Order, however you couldn’t have identified that by watching the present’s season finale, which aired tonight.
Instead of a farewell, the main focus centered on Tony Goldwyn’s DA Baxter, with Manheim’s character, Lt. Kate Dixon, barely featured. There was no indication throughout the present that she could be leaving.
Manheim joined the present as Lieutenant Kate Dixon within the Season 21 premiere, The Right Thing, although she had portrayed smaller roles in seasons 1, 3, and 4. Dixon is at the moment the commanding officer of the Manhattan North Homicide Squad’s twenty seventh Precinct.
Earlier, a press release was issued to Deadline on Manheim’s imminent departure.
“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,” shared sequence creator Dick Wolf in a press release.
There isn’t any phrase on who will take over commanding officer duties for Dixon in Season 24. Before Dixon’s management, Anita Van Buren was high boss, she was performed by S. Epatha Merkerson, who at the moment stars on the Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television sequence, Chicago Med.
