Chicago P.D. Just Got a New Chief Played by Shawn Hatosy (DETAILS)
Welcome to the Intelligence Unit, Deputy Chief Charlie Reid.
The Intelligence Unit of Chicago P.D. is getting a new member. Shawn Hatosy will join the cast for Season 12 as the new Deputy Chief Charlie Reid, in a recurring role.
“I think he sees a lot of himself in Voight (Jason Beghe) and identifies quite a bit with Voight and Voight’s philosophy as a police officer, and they have a really interesting relationship that will evolve as the season goes on,” P.D. showrunner Gwen Sigan told TV Line about Hatosy's character.

Who is Shawn Hatosy?
In addition to an extensive acting résumé, Hatosy's also dipped his toe into directing, helming four episodes of Animal Kingdom, where he had a regular role. In 2020, Hatosy shared that he'd been sober from alcohol since 2008.
Hatosy's wife Kelly Albanese is also an actress, and together they have two sons. He is not interested in sharing his candy (LOL), and he takes sandwiches very seriously, telling Crooked Forest that it is his dream to have one named after him someday.
"It’s like being Knighted, it’s an honor you earn. And quite honestly, I feel like people are sticking avocado on everything and thinking that will solve their sandwich mediocrity. It’s BS. I don’t care what’s on my sandwich but no avocado, no thank you. I’m open to suggestions. On the side, I want raw chocolate chip cookie dough. I don’t care if it kills me; it’s delicious." he revealed.

What we know about Chicago P.D. Season 12
After years of ups and downs, Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati) and Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger), finally got engaged for good in Season 11.
“I’m very excited to get into it,” Chicago P.D. showrunner Gwen Sigan told TV Line of the nuptials. “So few times on this show do you get these really happy moments.”
“I think it’ll be fun [to write],” Sigan added. “There’s definitely a possibility of, ‘Are we going to do the wedding next year? Are we going to do the planning? What are we going to see?’ So, I’m excited to figure out all of that.”
Chicago P.D. returns September 25 to NBC and occupies its normal time slot: Wednesdays at 10/9c. You can also stream Seasons 1 through 11 right now on Peacock.
