The Chicago P.D. cast is heading into season 14 with Kevin Atwater set for an imminent exit, and LaRoyce Hawkins is the actor behind the departure. Showrunner Gwen Sigan is calling the season a reinvention, which puts the character change at the center of how the new run will play.
Gwen Sigan said, “We wanted to give the best sendoff that we could,” and the line tells you how much weight the Atwater move carries inside Chicago P.D. season 14. Kevin Atwater’s exit is not a side note; it is one of the main pieces shaping the season’s tone.
Voight and Imani pick up the fallout
Chicago P.D. season 14 picks up where the last episode left off, with Voight and Imani facing a major dilemma over whether to cover up the fact that Imani’s sister murdered a sex worker or let the charges proceed. That cliffhanger gives the season a hard procedural edge before the cast change even lands.
Sigan said the season will bring real changes across the board and get brutal, especially where Voight is concerned. Marina Squerciati is also listed as Detective Kim Burgess, keeping the core unit visible while the show shifts around it.
One officer leaves, one joins
Kevin Atwater’s exit is paired with a new wildcard addition to the team on the horizon. That exchange matters because Chicago P.D. season 14 is not just rotating personnel; it is changing the shape of the ensemble while one storyline is already forcing the unit into a moral split.
The setup leaves the season with two pressures at once: a departure that pulls at the group’s structure, and a return to the unresolved decision involving Voight and Imani. Those two threads make this feel less like a reset and more like a deliberate shakeup.
Where to watch season 14
Chicago P.D. season 14 can be watched on NBC with a cable subscription, and Fubo and YouTube TV carry NBC with free trials. Viewers who want a cheaper route through Walmart+ can use the 30-day trial for $1, but they need to select Peacock from the included streaming choice.
There is currently no release plan or broadcast lined up for Chicago P.D. season 14 in Australia. For everyone else, the practical move is simple: if Kevin Atwater’s exit and the Voight-Imani fallout are the reason to tune in, NBC is the live path and Peacock through Walmart+ is the streaming workaround.
