Law & Order 2025 Officially Replaces 1 Main Character (And It’s a Smart Choice)

Mehcad Brooks became part of the Law & Order cast in Season 22, taking over the role of Detective Kevin Bernard in 2022. His character’s calm personality nicely balanced his partner, Vincent Riley (played by Reid Scott), who was more high-energy during investigations. Their dynamic quickly became a fan favorite whenever a new episode aired on NBC. Unfortunately, Brooks left the show after Season 25, and his departure felt abrupt and unsatisfying for many viewers.
