Is Voight Leaving Chicago P.D.? The Truth About Jason Beghe’s Future Finally Comes to Light

For over a decade, Jason Beghe’s portrayal of Sergeant Hank Voight has been the ruthless backbone of Chicago P.D. — equal parts feared and respected, often walking the line between justice and vigilantism. But after the explosive Season 12 finale, fans are asking one burning question: Is Voight finally stepping away from Intelligence?

The speculation isn’t unfounded. Season 12 saw Voight tested like never before — physically, emotionally, and morally. His controversial decisions led to a complete breakdown in trust with key allies, most notably Assistant State’s Attorney Nina Chapman. Once seen as his fiercest defender, Chapman ultimately condemned Voight’s methods, leaving fans to wonder: was this the writers’ way of signaling an exit arc?

Yet despite the storm of rumors, there is no official sign that Jason Beghe is leaving the series. In fact, Chicago P.D. has already been renewed for Season 13, and Voight remains central to the show’s marketing and storyline teases. Beghe himself has expressed continued passion for the role, often noting that he plans to stay on the show “until the end — or until he’s too old to chase down suspects.”

Still, fans remain divided. Some believe it’s time for Voight to pass the torch and let younger leaders like Atwater or Upton take center stage. Others argue the show simply isn’t Chicago P.D. without him — his presence is what sets the tone, raises the stakes, and delivers the moral complexity that defines the series.

Season 13 may not begin with a Voight departure, but it could be the beginning of the end. The character has survived near-death experiences, public backlash, and internal collapse. Now, with his support system crumbling and enemies circling, Voight may face the one battle he can’t win — staying relevant in a world that no longer tolerates his methods.

Is it time for Voight to hang up his badge… or will he go down fighting?
