Intelligence is going to be busy when Chicago PD Season 12 premieres, and we have a feeling the absence of Detective Hailey Upton (Tracy Spiridakos left in the Season 11 finale) will definitely be felt.
Where is Kim Burgess in the Chicago PD Season 12 Premiere
NBC has released photos from the September 25 premiere of "Ten Ninety-Nine," which picks up a month later. Voight (Jason Beghe) will have to deal with his near-death experience, while the intelligence community will be flooded with cases as they track down a high-stakes drug bust. Check out the photos below for a look at the unit, which includes Officer Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger), Officer Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati), Officer Kevin Atwater (LaRoyce Hawkins) and Officer Dante Torres (Benjamin Levy Aguilar) in Season 12.
Following the events of the Season 11 finale — Upton's departure and near-death — Voight is "in a place where he's regressed," showrunner Gwen Sigan told TV Insider as part of our fall season preview. "He's evaluating his life, what got him here, and he's dealing with that in a very Voight way, as you'll see in the season premiere. He's definitely in a different state of mind, which was fun to explore. We'll see that throughout the high-stakes, complicated drug case that opens Season 12." Can his girlfriend, Assistant State Attorney Nina Chapman (Sara Bues), fill the void left in his life by Upton? Only time will tell.
Intelligence also gains a new member in patrol officer Kiana Cook (Toya Turner), who is ready to prove her worth. "Kiana is very strong-willed," Sigan said. "She wants to solve cases aggressively. It's fun to see this new energy. She surprises a lot of them and brings out the best in them."
