According to an NBC rep, Davidovich departed the series due to scheduling conflicts.
This marks the second major piece of Shades of Blue Season 2 casting, following Wednesday’s announcement that Breaking Bad alum Anna Gunn was coming on board as a dirty cop-turned-Machiavellian politician.
Production on Shades of Blue‘s second season began earlier this week in New York. It’s slated to return to NBC’s schedule at midseason.
