Summary
- LaRoyce Hawkins has finished filming his final episodes as Officer Atwater.
- Atwater is leaving the Intelligence unit after 13 seasons on the show.
- His exit is anticipated to be connected to his upcoming fatherhood.
Chicago P.D. is preparing to bid farewell to a foundational member of its Intelligence unit, Officer Kevin Atwater, portrayed by LaRoyce Hawkins. Hawkins has recently completed filming for his final episodes, marking the end of his 13-season tenure on the NBC drama. His departure was announced on July 2 and will be featured in the upcoming 14th season, which is set to premiere on October 7.
Details surrounding Atwater's exit are not yet fully revealed, but it is speculated that his storyline will conclude in a way that allows for future returns. The upcoming parenthood of Officer Atwater with his partner, Tasha Fox, is anticipated to be a key element in his departure. This approach suggests a less permanent farewell, contrasting with character deaths, and potentially mirroring successful past character returns.
A celebration honoring Hawkins' contributions was held, attended by cast members, including former stars Tracy Spiridakos and Jesse Lee Soffer. This event signifies the cast's appreciation for Hawkins and the character he has embodied for over a decade.
