Chicago is saying goodbye to some of its most loyal residents.

Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D. and Chicago Justice star Jon Seda is exiting the popular NBC drama franchise, the actor confirmed on Instagram Saturday.

Along with Seda, Chicago Med stars Colin Donnell and Norma Kuhling will also depart the franchise.

While all three series were picked up for next season back in February, Deadline reports that the cast shake-up is due to creative reasons.

Seda, who starred as Detective Antonio Dawson, got his start with the Dick Wolf-created franchise on Chicago Fire before becoming one of the original leads on Chicago P.D. He left P.D. during season 4 to join Chicago Justice, but after the drama failed to take off, Seda returned to Chicago P.D. as a series regular.

“It’s been an honor portraying Det. Antonio Dawson in the #OneChicago world,” Seda wrote on Instagram. “To my cast & crew #Family, I’ll always treasure the time and stories we shared. To all you #chihards out there, THANK YOU for being the best of fans! We’ll Always have CHICAGO.”

Kuhling’s departure just comes two seasons after she joined the popular franchise as Dr. Ava Bekker.

Donnell, who had played Dr. Connor Rhodes on Chicago Med since season 1, confirmed his exit on Twitter.

“Sorry to say that this is true,” he wrote. “I love my #ChicagoMed #OneChicago family dearly. And a special thank you to all the fans that have made these last four seasons so amazing.”

Donnell, like many of the franchise regulars, also made several appearances on Chicago P.D. and Chicago Fire.

Sophia Bush, who left P.D. in 2017, showed her love to Donnell, replying to his tweet saying, “A true gentleman, you are, dear sir. Much love.”

But it’s not all sad news coming out of the One Chicago franchise. Deadline revealed last week that Chicago Fire stars Jesse Spencer and Taylor Kinney had renewed their contracts.

Chicago Med, Fire, and P.D. air on NBC Wednesdays at 8, 9, and 10 p.m. ET, respectively.
