About the Show:
Chicago P.D., part of the One Chicago franchise, comes from the mind of Emmy-winning producer Dick Wolf, known for his work on iconic series such as Law & Order. Originally a spinoff of Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D. debuted in 2014 and has grown into one of NBC’s top crime dramas. The show is now in its 10th season, captivating audiences with its gritty portrayal of crime and justice in the Windy City.
Chicago P.D. follows the officers of District 21 of the Chicago Police Department. The district is divided into two distinct teams: the uniformed patrol officers who handle street-level crimes, and the elite Intelligence Unit led by the relentless Sgt. Hank Voight (played by Jason Beghe). Voight’s team tackles the city’s most dangerous crimes, including drug trafficking, organized crime, and high-profile murders.
The series features a dynamic ensemble cast, led by Jason Beghe as Sgt. Hank Voight. Other notable stars include Patrick John Flueger (Officer Adam Ruzek), LaRoyce Hawkins (Officer Kevin Atwater), Tracy Spiridakos (Detective Hailey Upton), and Marina Squerciati (Officer Kim Burgess). Their strong performances and chemistry make Chicago P.D. a compelling show, blending action with personal drama and heart.
