The character has been at a bit of a standstill for the past season, so it makes a lot of sense to move Dawson along to help start up the new Chicago Justice spinoff.
Seda will join cast members Joelle Carter, Carl Weathers and Philip Winchester on the legal drama.
Jon Seda’s Intelligence Unit detective started his work as a recurring guest star on Chicago Fire, and then moved over to Chicago P.D. as one of the leads when the show started in January 2014.
The first two seasons of the show were filled with drama for Dawson.
