Chicago P.D. News: Major Character To Exit Show After Season 11

As per a report from Variety, actress Tracy Spiridakos who plays Detective Hailey Upton, will be leaving Chicago P.D. after its 11th season.

As of this writing, it’s unknown how many shows she’ll be in, due to the cut episode order post SAG-AFTRA strike. While production has begun for the new season, it’s hard to say when and how Detective Upton will exit storylines.

The actress joined the show close to Season 4’s end. She was a homicide detective and replaced Erin Lindsay (Sophia Bush) as a series regular the next season, after her exit.

Tracy quickly became a popular character among fans, catching the eye of Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Sofer), a fellow detective.

The two fell in love, got engaged, and then hitched in Season 9; however, with Halstead leaving at the start of Season 10, many questioned whether or not Upton would follow.

When Tracy does leave Chicago P.D., how will her exit go? Soffer could return to the show to not only give his character a proper goodbye but also help Hailey with her exit.

The actor has stated that the door isn’t entirely closed to a return, and he did direct an episode of the primetime drama after he left.

Season 10’s ending had fans shocked when Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger) got shot and was rushed to the hospital. Could fans lose both Hailey and Adam in one season?

While the very idea is awful to contemplate; however, it would keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

Still, thanks to the SAG-AFTRA strike, it looks like it’ll be a while before audiences catch Chicago P.D.’s new season, just due to production delays.

It’ll be interesting to see how the show writes Hailey Upton’s exit. Are you sad to see this character leave?
