Major Shake-Up! Upton’s Out as Chicago P.D. Returns for Season 12

Chicago P.D. Renewed for Season 12: What’s Next for Voight’s Squad?

Chicago P.D. fans are still reeling from the emotional turmoil of Voight’s recent storyline, but there’s good news on the horizon: “NBC has officially renewed the gripping police procedural for a 12th season!”  This renewal comes alongside the network’s decision to bring back the entire One Chicago franchise for the 2024-2025 season, including Chicago Fire and Chicago Med.

“Season 12 is set to premiere in Fall 2024”, keeping its familiar Friday night slot at 10/9c. While details about the upcoming season remain scarce, fans can expect the return of core cast members including “Jason Beghe as the formidable Sergeant Hank Voight, Marina Squerciati as the determined Detective Hailey Upton, Patrick John Flueger as the loyal Officer Adam Ruzek, LaRoyce Hawkins as the steadfast Officer Kevin Atwater, and Benjamin Levy Aguilar as the ambitious Officer Dante Torres.

Showrunner Gwen Sigan offered insights into the creative direction for the upcoming season, stating, “We’re really going to dig into that this season, and dig into growth and transformation — how do you get through your life not looking like what you thought it was goin’g to look like, and realizing that there could be more out there that is maybe better for you?”

The writers will have the opportunity to explore how the team adapts to Upton’s absence.  Will they promote from within or bring in a seasoned detective from another unit?  Will the new dynamic alter the team’s approach to investigations and their unwavering commitment to justice?

One thing is for certain: “Season 12 promises to be a captivating journey filled with high-stakes investigations, complex character development, and the ever-present moral dilemmas that have become synonymous with Chicago P.D.”  Fans can catch up on past seasons on Peacock while eagerly awaiting the fall premiere.
