‘Chicago P.D.’s Toya Turner Not Returning in Season 13: ‘Next Chapter’

Toya Turner, who portrayed Detective Samantha Miller on Chicago P.D., has confirmed she will not return for Season 13 of the hit NBC drama. The actress made the announcement via Instagram, calling it a “bittersweet goodbye” and expressing gratitude for the opportunity to be part of the One Chicago universe.

Turner’s character, introduced in Season 8 as Deputy Superintendent Miller, brought a much-needed layer of reform-driven authority to the Intelligence Unit. Her efforts to hold Voight accountable and push for police transparency made her a standout — and often divisive — figure among fans.

While her time on the show was brief, Turner made a lasting impression. She said in her statement, “It’s been an incredible journey, but now it’s time for the next chapter.” Though she didn’t share details about upcoming projects, Turner hinted she’s working on something “very personal and powerful.”

Her departure marks yet another shift in Chicago P.D.’s ever-changing cast landscape. As the series heads into its 13th season, fans are already speculating who might step in to fill the leadership void left by Miller.

Turner’s exit follows several recent cast changes across the One Chicago franchise, signaling that big changes may be ahead for Season 13.
