Sophia Bush Leaving “Chicago P.D.” After Four Seasons

Sophia Bush is leaving NBC’s “Chicago P.D.” after four seasons, according to Deadline. She is the second key “Chicago P.D.” player to recently leave, as co-creator/showrunner Matt Olmstead left in March.

“I hear Bush is leaving on her own accord,”  Nellie Andreeva wrote in her article.  “I hear there is a possibility for Bush to return for a guest-starring arc to wrap her character’s story. I hear the show is mulling bringing in a new prominent female cast member though it also may stick with its remaining cast.”

The news comes as a shock to the One Chicago fan-base, despite a possible exit being set up for the actress in the recent season four finale. Her character, Detective Erin Lindsay, was offered a job with the FBI in New York and she was on the verge of accepting said offer. The episode ended with a cliffhanger, with Lindsay standing on a bridge, ignoring Jay (Jesse Lee Soffer)’s call.
