"Chicago PD" follows the tried and tested - and very successful - One Chicago formula of tight ensemble cast and tension-driven momentum (see also "Chicago Med" and "Chicago Fire") but "Chicago PD" season 13 is about to put that on a course of steroids after dealing with the existential fallout of season 12...
Here's how you can watch "Chicago PD" season 13 online and from anywhere with a VPN.
The season begins with the Intelligence Unit disbanded but Voight (played by Jason Beghe) determined to put it back to together after risking everything to orchestrate the murder of corrupt deputy chief Reid (Shawn Hatosy) who wanted it gone. Naturally there are consequences - also the title of the first episode - but these are also emotional as much as professional.
Voight has a new partner in former military contractor Naomi Imani/ Eva Imani (Arienne Mandi) but she brings fresh challenges. It is all part of a darker more introspective feel to the show with Torres (Benjamin Levy Aguilar) also struggling to cope and Burgess & Ruzek (Marina Squerciati and Patrick John Flueger) trying to accommodate the demands of the job as a newly married couple.
