A specific reason for Turner's departure is not yet known. Deadline reports that casting is currently underway for a new female series regular to play a 'loose cannon' ATF Task Force officer with a military background. TVLine broke the news of Turner's original casting at the top of Season 12, with showrunner Gwen Sigan describing Kiana as a 'very cool' and 'very different' addition to the show. 'She's been on the force for a few years, so we get to see that she knows her way around,' Sigan said. 'She knows what she's doing.' (Indeed, both the character and actress knew what they were doing; Turner was named a TVLine Performer of the Week in January 2025.) Just 10 days ago, Turner was sharing on Instagram the self-tape audition that brought her back to her hometown of Chicago. 'I had no idea this audition would be the one to bring me home. But it was,' she wrote. 'This self-tape made me a series regular on Chicago P.D. 'Keep going, actors,' she added, 'the right one really can change your whole life.' Not long before that, she posted a series of behind-the-scenes P.D. photos, saying, 'Having #ChicagoPD withdrawals idk about y'all.' TVLine has reached out to NBC for confirmation.

'Chicago PD' Fans Are 'Pissed' After Season 12 Finale: 'We Deserved Better'
It was supposed to be the happiest day of Chicago PDfans' lives—a moment 12 seasons in the making—but following the season finale, they were left feeling frustrated and disappointed. Leading up to Chicago PD Season 12 Episode 22, titled "Vows," Kim Burgess () and Adam Ruzek's () wedding was heavily teased, and though fans knew that it wouldn't take up the full episode as Intelligence still had to bring Reid (Shawn Hatosy) down and get their revenge after he got the unit suspended for "misconduct" and attempted to destroy their careers, they still had high expectations. After all, it was going to be one of the "happier" episodes of Chicago PD, considering there's never been a proper wedding on the police procedural. And then, after Squerciati and Flueger spent so much time hyping fans for the big moment, the vows were cut off, with the showrunner, Gwen Sigan, explaining to TV Line that they were "difficult to fit in," but that "Ruzek and Burgess have exactly what they would want," which, as you can imagine, didn't sit well with viewers. The Chi-Hards took to social media to express their disappointment, with one adding a photo of a kiss between the bride and groom that did not appear on screen, noting, "is this why marina gave us so many pics bc she knew we wouldn't even see it happen?!?! WHAT ABOUT THIS MOMENT ARE YOU KIDDING ME #ChicagoPD" Another remained optimistic, stating, "I'm HAPPY but alittle PISSED," as a second noted, "I'm so so so mad they deserved better and we deserved better." "these scenes were stolen from us for showing VOIGHT???? that's nasty stop playing with us #ChicagoPD" another declared, referring to the camera panning to Voight (Jason Beghe) and Nina Chapman (Sara Bues), who was emotional after piecing together that Voight "sanctioned" Reid's death, stating, "That's not who you are. I know you. You told me you believed there could be more," to which Voight coldly replied, "I don't get more." The disappointment kept flowing, with bold comments such as "girl we had TWELVE YEARS OF MATERIAL .. FOR THAT" and "You know what? SCREW YOU, CHICAGO P.D.! You make this big deal about the #Burzek wedding, and then you STILL screw over the characters and the fandom, and they still don't even get their moment! WTF WAS THAT?!" The beloved TV couple may have gotten their happy ending at last, but it's safe to say, you do not want to cross Burzek fans. Chicago PD returns for season 13 this fall on NBC.
