Although there's not a full trailer for Chicago P.D. Season 12, NBC did release their customary promo for the return of One Chicago Wednesdays, giving fans of either of the three shows or all of them, their first look at what's to come. Beginning with a plethora of One Chicago stars new and old announcing their excitement for their respective upcoming seasons, this teaser also showcases glimpses of action in the new season, with each series looking ready to raise the bar yet again. Alas, the teaser still leaves plenty to the imagination, meaning there will likely be twists and turns aplenty when the 21st District returns. A synopsis of the upcoming season reads, "Chicago P.D. is back for an all-new season as the Intelligence Unit continues to protect the city — and each other — at all costs. Led by the tough but fair Sergeant Hank Voight, the team is committed to seeking justice and cracking down on crime to make Chicago a safer place."

Taking most of the fandom's attention as time edges closer to the return of One Chicago Wednesdays has been the many ins and outs in the ensemble of each series. Chicago P.D. in particular waves goodbye to several cast members, most notably Tracy Spiridakos‘ Detective Hailey Upton leaving Intelligence. This exit shocked the entire fanbase to its core, with Upton a sure-fire fan favorite and an integral member of the Intelligence team. When one door closes, another one opens, with many speculating about who might be receiving a major promotion. Thanks to showrunner Gwen Sigan, we now know that Assistant State's Attorney Nina Chapman (Sara Bues) will fill the void left by Upton, with Sigan discussing this decision with TV Fanatic, saying:

"We love Sara [Bues], who plays Chapman. She’s such a great actress. She and Jason [Beghe] have this great chemistry together. And I think she really represents another adult — a genuine peer, like another person in the room with him who he doesn’t oversee. He’s not her boss, so it allows for a different dynamic. It allows her to be really honest and very upfront with him. She talks to him very straight, which is nice. I think that’s what he respects about her: that she will call him out."
What's the Episode Schedule For 'Chicago P.D.' Season 12?
The One Chicago Universe's return often means a thorough reshuffling of fans' schedules to accommodate for the many hours of exciting content yet to come. Based on the information we currently have, including news that the series will return to a full 22-episode season following the stunted, strike-impacted outing in Season 11, here's a look at the expected episode schedule:
