Chicago Justice is parting ways with one of its stars ahead of its premiere.
Nazneen Contractor, who appeared in the backdoor pilot for the Dick Wolf spinoff, has exited the forthcoming NBC legal drama, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
Contractor played Dawn Harper, the second-in-command to Philip Winchester's prosecutor Peter Stone. They both appeared in a May episode of Chicago P.D., which served to introduce the characters of Chicago Justice one day before NBC officially ordered the new project to series.
Instead, Contractor has boarded Frank Spotnitz's forthcoming CBS drama Ransom, which begins shooting its 13-episode first season in Toronto and France this fall.
