‘Chicago P.D.’ Boss Addresses Upstead’s ‘Hopeful’ Future After Crossover

One Chicago knows how to do crossovers. Whether it’s a big event across Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D.or one character appearing on another show, it’s seamless and you feel like these first responders know and care about each other.

Over the course of three hours on March 4, the shows brought back P.D.‘s Jesse Lee Soffer and Tracy Spiridakos as Halstead and Upton, put multiple Fire firefighters and paramedics in danger, and had us worried about the future of one Med doctor. TV Insider spoke with the showrunners across all three shows — Fire‘s Andrea Newman, Med‘s Allen MacDonald, and P.D.‘s Gwen Sigan — about the decisions made for some of the key characters. Warning: Spoilers for the One Chicago “Reckoning” crossover ahead!
