When "Private Practice" returns for what is probably its final season in the fall, don't look for original cast member Tim Daly.
Daly, who has starred as holistic healer Pete Wilder in the drama for five years, is leaving the series, confirmed hollywoodreporter.com Tuesday. His contract option was reportedly not picked up.
In the show's fifth season finale, Daly's character was sent to prison for the mercy killing of one of his terminal patients and later freed on bail. The series was down in ratings last season and is expected to have a reduced episode count next season.
"Wonderful fans of PPP. Shonda informed my agent today that Pete won't be returning for season 6. It was a great 5 yrs. R.I.P. Pete Wilder," Daly tweeted Tuesday.
No word on whether or not the the character's storylines will be wrapped up. Daly's career includes acting, writing and directing and starring in several other series including "Wings" and The Nine." He also voiced the role of Superman in the animated film "Justice League: doom."
Shonda Rhimes, showrunner for "Private Practice," "Grey's Anatomy" and "Scandal," has not publicly commented on the situation.
