Chicago police said goodbye to Jay Halstead in a touching episode at the start of the current season 10, and the hit drama continued without star Jesse Lee Soffer for the first time in its long run. While the characters (including wife Upton and former apprentice Torres) are still grappling with Halstead’s decision to return to the military, the actors will soon be working with Soffer again. He’s not back as a fan-favorite detective, but in a behind-the-scenes role!
Jesse Lee Soffer returns to Chicago police in 2023 to direct the sixteenth episode of season 10, according to Variety. There are no details yet as to when episode 16 will air in the New Year on NBC, but whether season 10 will follow the schedule of the last few previous seasons (with the exception of season 8, which was shortened due to production of COVID), the Soffer episode will likely debut in March.
So while Halstead won’t be back and fans of the Upton / Halstead relationship won’t see what happens to Upstead with the two together on screen, Jesse Lee Soffer is returning to his longtime home on NBC.
