Chicago P.D. star Marina Squerciati has always been a fan favorite, known for bringing warmth, wit, and emotional strength to her portrayal of Officer Kim Burgess. But after her latest social media post, fans are convinced she might have another career waiting for her — one far removed from the streets of Chicago and the drama of the Intelligence Unit.
The actress recently shared a lighthearted update on Instagram that showcased her signature humor and charm. In the post, Squerciati playfully documented a behind-the-scenes moment, mixing her usual candid personality with what fans are calling “the comedic timing of a seasoned talk show host.” Within hours, her comment section was flooded with messages suggesting she consider a future in comedy or hosting.
“Marina, you need your own show — you’re hilarious!” one fan wrote. Another added, “Forget Burgess, I’d tune in every week just to watch you interview people and make them laugh.”
It’s not the first time fans have pointed out Squerciati’s natural charisma outside her acting. Over the years, her social media presence has evolved into a delightful blend of humor, intelligence, and self-awareness — traits that have made her one of the most relatable stars in the One Chicago universe. Whether she’s poking fun at her character’s emotional rollercoaster or posting witty behind-the-scenes clips, Squerciati consistently finds ways to connect authentically with her audience.
Her Chicago P.D. co-stars have also joined in on the fun. Patrick John Flueger (Ruzek) and LaRoyce Hawkins (Atwater) frequently tease her about her quick wit and on-camera ease. “Marina could host SNL and crush it,” Hawkins joked in a recent interview.
As Chicago P.D. enters a new era with shifting storylines and rumored cast departures, Squerciati’s future on the show has been the subject of fan speculation. While NBC has yet to confirm whether Burgess will continue through the next season, her growing popularity online has opened the door to endless possibilities — from comedy specials to lifestyle shows, or even her own podcast.
In one particularly viral post, Squerciati offered a mock “therapy session” for fans coping with Chicago P.D.’s most emotional episodes. “Let’s talk about your feelings — I’ll bring snacks,” she joked, earning over 100,000 likes. The moment was pure Marina — warm, funny, and effortlessly engaging.
Whether she stays in uniform or swaps her badge for a microphone, one thing is certain: Marina Squerciati’s star power extends far beyond the screen. She’s proven that she can make fans laugh, cry, and think — often in the same post.
