Chicago PD is losing another member of its cast. Tracy Spiridakos will be leaving the NBC police drama during its upcoming 11th season, per Variety. In the series, she plays Detective Hailey Upton-Halstead, a member of the CPD Intelligence Unit.
Spiridakos joined the series in a recurring role at the end of season four before being upped to series regular for season five. During her time on the series, the character married Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer). However, her character has hit some hard times following Soffer’s exit from the series. It is unknown if viewers will see Soffer return ahead of Spiridakos’ exit.
Jason Beghe, Patrick John Flueger, Marina Squerciati, LaRoyce Hawkins, Amy Morton, and Benjamin Levy Aguilar star in the NBC drama, which follows the Intelligence Unit of the Chicago Police Department.
It is unknown when Chicago PD will return to NBC. The recent strikes in the industry have delayed the series’ return, but a shortened 11th season is expected to air before the 2023-24 broadcast season concludes.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Chicago PD? Are you surprised by the Spiridakos’ upcoming exit from the series?
Her character came in to replace the other female cop who left the show. I found her character to be the same as the character she replaced. I will not miss her.
I love Tracy, I wish she wasn’t leaving, but I have watched Chicago PD since the first episode & I will always continue to watch it. Over the years there have been many changes, but I still love the show! I am a super fan!
Watched the show since first episode and so NOT happy she is leaving. Hailey is my favorite
what can i say, im glad about that, she didn’t give anything to the show and its not she good actress.
Tracy Spiridakos is the only reason that I’ve been watching the show in the past few years. It’s not that the other actors aren’t fine, but Haley’s character brings elements to the show that aren’t matched by anyone else. The writing appears flat for most of the actors. Hope she does well. A lot of really good episodic actors are never seen again.
I will miss her. As a character, she had an excellent backstory and an an actress she was excellent. I watch all of the Chicago franchise from England, and love all the programmes. Hurry back!
