They Killed Him in the First Episode? Chicago P.D. Starts Season 12 With a Shocking Goodbye
Chicago P.D. Season 12 opened with a punch to the gut — one that fans never saw coming. In a bold and brutal move, the premiere kicked off with the sudden and tragic death of a beloved character, leaving viewers stunned, devastated, and full of questions.
The episode wastes no time pulling the rug out from under the audience. Within the first 15 minutes, the character — who had been a core member of Intelligence and a fan favorite for years — is gone. No buildup. No dramatic foreshadowing. Just heartbreak.
Social media exploded moments after the episode aired. Fans flooded Twitter and Reddit with disbelief, asking: “Did they really just do that?” and “Why kill them off like this?” Some praised the writers for taking risks, while others felt blindsided and betrayed.
The decision to write off the character appears tied to off-screen contract shakeups and potential new creative directions, though NBC has remained tight-lipped. What’s clear is this: Season 12 is not playing it safe. And if this premiere is any indication, Chicago P.D. is about to take viewers on one of its most emotional and unpredictable rides yet.
