Publish date: 2024-05-09

The actor announced that he would be leaving the NBC series after ten years as the broody brunette detective.

Jesse wrote, as part of his goodbye post on Instagram, “I left it all for this one. It was the hardest goodbye I’ve ever written.” Fans wept.

Aside from Jesse, Tracy, her on-screen partner of six years, also showed some love to her castmate. “Until next time Jay Halstead,” she wrote on Instagram.

So, Is Jesse Lee Really Leaving Chicago Pd? And Why?

Earlier this year, Variety announced that Jesse had left. It’s unclear why he left, but he wrote in a statement that there were several factors involved.

“I want to thank the incredible fans for their unwavering support during the past 10 years and want to express my deepest gratitude to Dick Wolf and everyone at Wolf Entertainment, Peter Jankowski, Matt Olmstead, Derek Haas, Michael Brandt, Rick Eid, Gwen Sigan, NBC, Universal Television, my fellow castmates and our incredible crew.”

The reason why he is returning his badge has been the subject of a few theories. Although it is widely believed that after playing a role for such a long time, Jesse may have been interested in exploring other career opportunities.

Umstead’s fans are already wondering what will happen next. When season 10 begins, the writers will surely reveal more. There is no way to know in advance what is going to happen to one of the most beloved couples of the show for now, however.
