It takes more than a near-death experience to keep Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) from the job.
Season 12 of Chicago P.D.: What’s in Store
When season 12 of Chicago P.D. picks up a month after the events of the season 11 finale, Voight is back at work full time, physically recovered from his injuries and pouring everything he has into the job, according to showrunner Gwen Sigan in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

But mentally, Voight is still dealing with the trauma of losing Hayley Upton (Tracy Spiridakos) and facing his mortality. Sigan explains that Voight is in a more introspective state, reevaluating his life as he navigates the changes in his unit and within himself.

The Intelligence Unit will be filling the void left by Upton’s departure, promising unexpected and fun dynamics within the team, with the opportunity to introduce new guest stars and policing dynamics, Sigan shares.

Sigan adds, “All the chemistry that’s been forged through our seasons is of course there, but anytime you add in new characters, it opens up the opportunity for closer bonds, new discoveries, and surprises for the audience.”
Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati) and Adam Ruzek (Patrick Flueger) are at the center of the team’s dynamics, with their on-again, off-again relationship now leading to a potential wedding. Will we finally see a Burzek wedding this season?
