‘Chicago P.D.’: Marina Squerciati Shares First Look at Arienne Mandi’s New Officer
Chicago P.D. has a new cast member in Season 13, and we now have a first look at Arienne Mandi in character on set.
Marina Squerciati, who plays Detective Kim Burgess — she was promoted last season (finally) — shared a photo from filming on Wednesday, August 13. Pictured are Mandi (Officer Imani), Benjamin Levy Aguilar (Officer Dante Torres), and Patrick John Flueger (Officer Adam Ruzek). “ChiHards, welcome Officer Imani!” Squerciati wrote in the caption. “She’s awesome and fierce and wears cool shoes and we like her a lot. #chicagopd @arienne_mandi #ariennemandi #team #wolfpack #imani”
In June, it was announced that Toya Turner (Officer Kiana Cook) would not be returning to Chicago P.D. for Season 13; she only starred in Season 12. Then, in July, Mandi’s casting as a new series regular was announced.

Her character was then called Naomi Kerr, with Squerciati’s post suggesting that has since changed. Then, she was described as a former soldier and military contractor who is said to thrive in dangerous situations. She was also called a fearless outsider who keeps her cards close to the vest. We’ll have to wait to see how she fits in with Intelligence, but as this on-set photo shows, she’s ready to be out in the field with the unit.
There is a bit up in the air about Intelligence heading into Season 13. At the end of Season 12, the corrupt Deputy Chief Reid (Shawn Hatosy) had opened an investigation into the unit. Sergeant Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) did take him down — using some tactics we’d seen from him in the past— but that didn’t necessarily mean the unit’s problems were over.
“I like that it’s open right now,” showrunner Gwen Sigan told TV Insider in May.
Chicago P.D. also stars LaRoyce Hawkins (as Officer Kevin Atwater) and Amy Morton (as Desk Sergeant Trudy Platt).

They are Still 2 or 3 Characters Short from Intelligence. The Show was Better when it was 6 to 8 Officers in the Intelligence Unit. Hopefully, Jay & Hailey will Return; and, Vanessa Rojas played by Lisseth Chavez. And also, Antonio.

I have always loved the show since the beginning. I stream it. In the past I dvr’d it due to work schedule. I like seeing the changes too. It keeps evolving, which is good because it keeps the interest of viewers. I wouldn’t wanna go back to bunny and those days, but for those who have never seen the show stream it from the beginning and binge watch.

Chicago PD is worth watching . It’s the best cop show I ever watched. Perhaps record it or watch it On Demand , Online or stream on Peacock.

Hopefully Torres will get a new love interest hopefully it's with Noami Kerr. We all thought that Cook and Torres would ended up together romantically. Maybe they weren't met to be together romantically

Cook didn’t last very long . She was a great cop. Wonder why she had to leave.

Voight should be promoted to ivory tower however still be hands on. Burgess get promoted to Sgt. takes over intelligence day to day. Atwater makes detective along with Ruzek. Build around that.
