LAW & ORDER: Jeffrey Donovan Exits

LAW & ORDER is undergoing another detective shakeup: Jeffrey Donovan has exited the show after two seasons.

Donovan played Frank Cosgrove for the drama’s first two revival seasons, initially partnering with Anthony Anderson‘s Kevin Bernard in season 21, followed by Mehcad Brooks‘ Jalen Shaw in season 22. (Cosgrove also played a big part in the three-show crossover that kicked off the L&O franchise season in 2022.)

Donovan’s exit was first reported by TVLine.

LAW & ORDER is set to return in 2024.
