The Intelligence Unit is returning to our screens, One Chicago fans!
On April 10, news hit that NBC had officially renewed Chicago P.D. for Season 11, along with the rest of Dick Wolf’s shows for the network, which include the rest of One Chicago—Chicago Med and Chicago Fire—and the Law & Order franchise: Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, and Law & Order: Organized Crime.
“We understand the emotional connection our audience has with these characters and we can’t wait to bring more of their stories to the forefront next season,” Lisa Katz, the president of scripted programming at NBCUniversal and Streaming, also said in a statement. “A huge thank you to Dick and his amazing team who are the masters of producing incredibly compelling television week after week.”
So, what do we need to know about Chicago P.D. Season 11 and the return of the Intelligence Unit? We’ve got all the details, below.
Can I watch Chicago P.D. this fall?
Yes! New episodes aren’t airing just yet, but fan favorites from Season 10 will air on NBC for all of November, Wednesdays at 10/9c on NBC.
When is the Chicago P.D. Season 11 premiere date?
Chicago P.D. will return on Wednesday, January 17 at 10/9c.
Who will be in the Chicago P.D. Season 11 cast?
NBC has not announced any changes to the current cast, whom we’ve listed below:
- Jason Beghe – Hank Voight
- Patrick John Flueger – Adam Ruzek
- LaRoyce Hawkins – Kevin Atwater
- Amy Morton – Trudy Platt
- Tracy Spiridakos – Hailey Upton
- Marina Squerciati – Kim Burgess
- Benjamin Levy Aguilar – Dante Torres
What will happen in Chicago P.D. Season 11?
It’s nearly impossible to predict what could happen in Season 11. However, we do know that fans hope Burgess and Ruzek maintain their newly-rekindled romance after spending the past three seasons as platonic co-parents.
“If Instagram comments are any indication, most of the fans are like, ‘Just leave them alone, leave them alone,'” Flueger told NBC Insider. “So I think we’ve got enough opportunities for drama on our show that maybe you’ll actually be able to see two people just kind of be happy together.”
He continued, “[Marina and I have] definitely both told the writers—and, you know, we can tell them anything we want, but it doesn’t mean they’re going to listen—that if they break us up again, like, please let’s not try this again because it’s too much. It’s too much.”
It’ll also be interesting to see how Upton continues to (not) deal with Halstead’s absence after he left Chicago for Bolivia following Jesse Lee Soffer’s exit from the show.
“This ultimately will change her in some way, which I’m interested to see how,” Spiridakos told Variety. “We’re still in the change. She finds out that he’s extended his stay and has that breakdown moment of having this hope and then all of a sudden, that’s gone. It’s the first time we see her break down since he’s left, since their goodbye. I think there’s gonna be some changes for her over the next little while.”
