Help is on the way. NBC has renewed its Chicago PD TV show for a sixth season, with a start date TBD. The procedural is the second series (following Chicago Fire) in Dick Wolf’s successful Chicago franchise on the Peacock Network.
An NBC police procedural, Chicago PD stars Jason Beghe, Jon Seda, Jesse Lee Soffer, Patrick John Flueger, Marina Squerciati, Elias Koteas, LaRoyce Hawkins, Amy Morton, and Tracy Spiridakos. Mykelti Williamson recurs. The drama centers on the men and women of the Chicago Police Department’s District 21, who pursue the perpetrators of Chi-town’s major street crimes. Detective Sgt. Hank Voight (Beghe) is at the heart of the war on crime in Chicago and will do anything to bring criminals to justice.

We can veg on Chicago PD, only show I can, please keep renewing it. We also like Chicago Fire.
This show has been my favorite with Chicago Fire. I have to say I’m disappointed. I’m not in law enforcement, but I do know real officers. It’s said every task force has a sniper. I see kills that should never happen. I hope this message hits home.
CVS needs some new writers ! They don’t care who’s watching anymore ! Maybe my last week ?
Love Chicago PD! Great action, great vintage Chicago interiors, especially the old mansions with the fine woodwork! Jason Beghe really shines in his character. I hope this series goes on forever like Law And Order.
Sorry , miss sophia bush too much to watch any more……..
what happened to Lindsay Missedd her this last show
Can’t wait until season 6 of Chicago PD! Still hoping Al’s death is a spoof to teach Voight a lesson and that he’ll be back. Still miss the relationship with Voight and Lindsay too. Looking forward to Season 7 of Chicago Fire and Season 4 of Chicago Med. It’s a great series line up and always intriguing. Love SVU as well. Best series line up of today. Dick Wolf is to now as Aaron Spelling was to the 80’s. Great writing, but hope Wolf will stay away from political ramblings. We hear enough of it. Just have good shows and… Read more »
