More than a decade after Chicago P.D. first premiered, the beloved cast members who brought the Intelligence Unit to life have evolved both on-screen and off. While the series continues to thrive into its 13th season — which premiered on October 1, 2025 — many of its stars have taken on new personal and professional chapters that might surprise longtime fans.
Here’s what the main cast of the hit NBC crime drama are up to now in 2026.
🎬 Jason Beghe (Hank Voight)
Still leading the Intelligence Unit as the tough but complex Sergeant Hank Voight, Jason Beghe remains the backbone of the show. Despite online rumors suggesting he might step away from the role, the veteran actor continues to headline the series as it moves into newer seasons, showing no signs of slowing down professionally.
Off-screen, Beghe has embraced a quieter lifestyle compared to his earlier Hollywood years, occasionally appearing at fan conventions and charity events tied to law enforcement awareness.
💍 Marina Squerciati (Kim Burgess)
Marina Squerciati continues to be a central figure in Chicago P.D., having confirmed she has no plans to leave the show anytime soon.
Her character Kim Burgess recently married Adam Ruzek in the Season 12 finale — a storyline that quickly became one of the most talked-about romantic arcs in the One Chicago universe. In real life, Squerciati has focused heavily on balancing motherhood with her acting career, often sharing glimpses of family life on social media.
🎥 Patrick John Flueger (Adam Ruzek)
After portraying Adam Ruzek since the show’s debut in 2014, Patrick John Flueger recently took a temporary leave of absence from the series to deal with a personal matter — though reports confirm he is expected to return later in Season 13.
His long-running storyline with Burgess, including their marriage and raising their adopted daughter Makayla, has remained a major emotional focus for viewers.
🌍 LaRoyce Hawkins (Kevin Atwater)
LaRoyce Hawkins has continued growing both as an actor and public speaker outside the show. Known for his passionate advocacy work, Hawkins frequently attends community outreach programs and youth mentorship events across the United States while maintaining his steady presence on the NBC drama.
🚪 Tracy Spiridakos (Hailey Upton)
After seven years on the show, Tracy Spiridakos officially exited Chicago P.D. following Season 11 in 2024 to pursue new career opportunities.
However, exciting news for fans: she is set to return alongside Jay Halstead in the upcoming 2026 One Chicago crossover event — marking her first appearance since her departure.
🔙 Jesse Lee Soffer (Jay Halstead)
Since leaving the series back in 2022, Jesse Lee Soffer has transitioned into directing and starring roles in other television projects. He even returned behind the camera to direct episodes of the show in later seasons — proving he never truly left the Chicago P.D. family.
Now, in 2026, Soffer is officially returning for the massive One Chicago crossover — a move that has already sparked major excitement among longtime fans.
