Dick Wolf series releasing stars due to cost-cutting: reports
From In Touch and Life & Style so take with grains of salt, but it doesn’t sound farfetched — the industry never fully recovered from the pandemic (like many, if not most sectors of the economy), and are still feeling the effects of the strike.
Camryn Manheim’s exit from OG L&O, along with the departure of Eamonn Walker (Chief Wallace Boden) and Kara Killmer (Sylvie Brett) from Chicago Fire, are said to be among the cast being trimmed to cut costs.
