The hit police drama Chicago P.D. is gearing up for a thrilling return in 2026, promising one of the most dramatic seasons yet. After weeks off the air due to NBC’s primetime shake-up for the Winter Olympics, fans won’t want to miss what’s coming next.
Season 13 of Chicago P.D., the flagship drama in NBC’s One Chicago universe, has already captivated audiences with edge-of-your-seat storytelling and unforgettable characters. Though the show temporarily paused new episodes in February, it’s set to roar back into action as part of an epic three-hour crossover event with Chicago Fire and Chicago Med on March 4, 2026—a night TV lovers are calling “the event of the year.”
What makes this comeback even more electric? Two beloved former stars—Jesse Lee Soffer and Tracy Spiridakos—are returning as Jay Halstead and Hailey Upton, igniting hope for closure, romance, and explosive storylines that fans thought were long behind them.
The crossover event is already being hyped as Chicago’s biggest crisis yet, weaving together intense police work, medical emergencies, and firefighting heroics into a single gripping narrative. And with the return of fan-favorite characters, speculation is running wild across social media about what alliances will be tested—and which secrets might finally surface.
As Chicago P.D. returns to NBC screens (and streaming platforms shortly after), viewers can expect suspense, heartbreak, and pulse-pounding drama that will set the tone for the rest of the 2026 season. Fans should mark their calendars—this isn’t just another season… it’s a blockbuster rebirth of one of TV’s most beloved procedural dramas.
