After a jaw-dropping Season 12 finale that left Chicago P.D. fans reeling, showrunner Gwen Sigan is finally breaking her silence—and she has a lot to say.
The finale’s shocking final moments saw a major betrayal within the Intelligence Unit and a storyline cliffhanger that has the fandom theorizing nonstop. Now, Sigan is pulling back the curtain on why things unfolded the way they did—and what’s coming next.
“We wanted to push our characters to their limit,” Sigan explained. “It’s about testing their loyalty—not just to each other, but to themselves.”
While she remained tight-lipped about which characters may be returning or departing in Season 13, Sigan confirmed that the new season will dive even deeper into the emotional aftermath of the finale. Fans can expect shifting alliances, moral dilemmas, and a storyline that re-centers the Intelligence Unit’s purpose.
“We’re exploring what happens when trust breaks,” she teased. “And whether it can ever be rebuilt.”
Sigan also hinted that new faces may enter the mix, and that the balance of power inside the unit could change forever.
If Season 12 was about fallout, Season 13 is about reckoning—and no one is safe.
