Chicago PD is losing their captain. Deadline reports showrunner Matt Olmstead is leaving the NBC TV series after season four.
Part of Dick Wolf’s Chicago franchise, the cop drama follows the men and women of the Chicago Police Department’s District 21. The cast includes Jason Beghe, Sophia Bush, Patrick John Flueger, LaRoyce Hawkins, Elias Koteas, Jesse Lee Soffer, Marina Squerciati, and Amy Morton.
Olmstead co-created Chicago PD and has been with the Chicago franchise since season one of Chicago Fire. Chicago PD is currently in its fourth season. NBC has not yet announced whether the series will be renewed for a fifth season or not, but it seems likely. The show maintains consistent ratings. So far, season four is averaging a 1.41 rating in the 18-49 demo and 6.596 million viewers.
A replacement for Olmstead has not been announced yet.
What do you think? Do you watch Chicago PD? Do you want a fifth season?
Please renew this show as well as Chicago Fire. These two shows I love so much. I look forward to watching them every week.
All the Chicago Series are awesome. Let’s have a 10+ year run like the NY shows.
How can I get in contact with him? He is the best one on the show….
Brilliant show he will be missed
I love the show
Yes, keep Chicago PD. It has good storyline and good characters, don’t this franchise up NBC.
Excellent show, number 2 of the series behind Chicago Fire
Yes, I like the show, all the Chicago series are great, Chicago Justice is soso
I need Chicago PD to be renewed so I do not have to say goodbye to Sophia Bush from One Tree Hill or Chicago PD. She helped me to like the show and the rest of the cast. I am not strong enough to say goodbye to 3 favorite shows in 1 year.
Jason Beghe isn’t leaving. The show runner is. This is very common with Dick Wolf shows.
Yes, it should be continued. I believe it depicts tough policing which is reality.
Matt Olmstead is the heart of the show. This is one of my must see’s and i look forward to Season 5.
Gee Yes I watch it. All of the Chicago shows. It is about the only thing I do watch on regular TV.
Yes to season5!
Olmsead should stay ! Whats the matter ? Fix it ! And the whole series of Chicago PD, MD, Fire and Justice have been very entertaining. There is allot of life there !!
