Chicago P.D. is facing significant cast changes as it gears up for Season 13, leaving fans eager to find out who will return. The One Chicago franchise, which includes Chicago Fire and Chicago Med, has built a reputation for compelling storylines and, unfortunately, frequent cast turnover.

NBC's president of program planning, Jeff Bader, reassured fans that cast changes are part of the business. "Cast comes in, cast goes out," Bader told TVLine in July 2024. "Every year there are cast changes, and every year someone asks the same question about what's going on within the One Chicago universe. But those shows just keep going on."

D.,' 'Chicago Med' and 'Chicago Fire' all part of the One Chicago franchise.

While Bader remains optimistic about Chicago P.D.'s future, concern among viewers escalated when NBC axed several shows, including Lopez vs. Lopez and Night Court, in May. Although the network renewed The Hunting Party and Brilliant Minds, these are the only freshman series to survive.

NBC's decision to cut programs followed an 11-year, nearly $2.5 billion yearly agreement with the NBA to air up to 100 regular-season games, impacting the fall schedule for original programming. Despite the uncertainty, Bader highlighted that One Chicago and Law & Order remain safe at the network for now.

As fans grapple with the array of cast departures, here's a breakdown of the Chicago P.D. stars who are returning - and those who won't - for Season 13.

Marina SquerciatiAfter a whirlwind Season 12 finale, Squerciati's character, Kim Burgess, tied the knot with Adam Ruzek, creating a hopeful outlook for their future. Showrunner Gwen Sigan hinted at intriguing dynamics for season 13. "We didn't get to see them actually walk back into the unit. It wasn't just easy clean, we're done," Sigan explained to Us Weekly in 2025.
