Ahead of her exit, show creator Dick Wolf said in a statement: "I thank Camryn for her three wonderful seasons helping us relaunch Law & Order. She is a class act, and I wish her nothing but the best for her next chapter."

Waterston played the character for most of the Law & Order's 23 seasons, and was one of several original cast members to return when the show was resurrected in 2021.
Law & Order airs on Thursdays at 8pm ET on NBC, followed by Law & Order: Special Victims Unit at 9pm and Law & Order: Organized Crime at 10pm. The shows air on Sky Witness in the UK, with select episodes available on NOW.
