Toya Turner is joining Chicago P.D. for its upcoming Season 12 in a series regular role, marking an exciting new addition to the show. She will play Kiana Cook, a patrol officer who thrives on the adrenaline and challenges of the job. This character, previously named Yara Page, promises to bring a fresh dynamic to the team.
Turner, who recently had a recurring role on New Amsterdam, has previously appeared on Chicago Med and Chicago Fire, making her a familiar face within the One Chicago universe. Her casting comes after Tracy Spiridakos' departure from the show as Det. Hailey Upton in the Season 11 finale, so Turner’s role will be significant in filling that gap and introducing new elements to the series.
Notable TV appearances on Grey's Anatomy, The Mick, Easy, and Empire, showcasing her versatility and experience.
Chicago P.D. follows the elite Intelligence Unit from District 21 as they tackle some of Chicago’s most serious crimes, including organized crime, drug trafficking, and high-profile murders. The current cast includes Jason Beghe as Sgt. Hank Voight, LaRoyce Hawkins as Officer Kevin Atwater, Marina Squerciati as Officer Kim Burgess, Patrick John Flueger as Officer Adam Ruzek, Benjamin Levy Aguilar as Officer Dante Torres, and Amy Morton as Desk Sergeant Trudy Platt.
Season 12 of Chicago P.D. will kick off on Wednesday, September 25, at 10/9c, introducing Turner's character and potentially shifting the dynamics of the Intelligence Unit. Bojana Novakovic, who recurred in Season 11 as SVU detective Jo Petrovic, also adds to the evolving landscape of the show.
