After months of speculation and years of emotional fallout, One Chicago fans finally have the reunion they’ve been desperately waiting for!
Former Chicago P.D. stars Jesse Lee Soffer and Tracy Spiridakos are officially returning to reprise their iconic roles as Jay Halstead and Hailey Upton in the upcoming 2026 three-part crossover event — marking the first time the two will share the screen since their shocking departures from the series.
The highly anticipated crossover — which will unite the worlds of
Chicago Fire,
Chicago Med, and
Chicago P.D. — is set to air on March 4, 2026, promising a high-stakes storyline involving a passenger plane that mysteriously goes silent mid-air, triggering a massive multi-agency emergency response.
But while the action will be intense, it’s the emotional tension between Halstead and Upton that has fans buzzing online.
When viewers last saw the couple, their relationship had ended in heartbreak following Halstead’s decision to leave Chicago for an undercover army assignment — a move that ultimately led to their divorce. Now, with Upton reportedly working as an FBI agent tied to a Detroit task force, fate brings them back together on the very same case that threatens countless lives.
NBC insiders tease that Halstead has been “deep undercover,” while Upton’s new investigation leads her straight back to Chicago — and straight back into Jay’s orbit.
Behind-the-scenes photos already circulating online show the former Intelligence Unit partners reunited on set, sparking hope among longtime “Upstead” supporters that the crossover could finally offer closure… or perhaps even reconciliation.
Whether this reunion will reopen old wounds or reignite old flames remains to be seen — but one thing is certain:
March 4 could change everything for Halstead and Upton.
And fans won’t want to miss a single second.
