Camryn Manheim will not return for season 24 of “Law & Order.”
Manheim joined the flagship as Lt. Kate Dixon, successor to Anita Van Buren (S. Epatha Merkerson) when the series was revived by NBC in 2021. The season finale, airing May 16, will mark the 48th and last episode of Manheim.
“I thank Camryn for three wonderful seasons that helped us relaunch ‘Law & Order,'” creator Dick Wolf said in a statement to Variety. “He’s a class act and I wish him nothing but the best for his next chapter.”
Manheim has a long-standing relationship with the procedure. His first television role was a guest spot on the first season of “Law & Order” in 1991, followed by additional spots (playing different characters) on the series in 1993 and 1994.
His exit is one of two massive exits in season 23. Sam Waterston, who appeared in over 400 episodes as District Attorney Jack McCoy, left the series earlier in the season, making his final appearance in the February 22 episode. Tony Goldwyn has been named the new prosecutor, joining the current cast of Hugh Dancy, Odelya Halevi, Mehcad Brooks and Reid Scott.
“Law & Order” is produced by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group. Rick Eid serves as showrunner on the series, with executive producers Wolf, Pamela Wechsler, Alex Hall, Arthur Forney and Peter Jankowski.
The series attracted an average of 7.7 million viewers and is up 122% in the demo.
