The Night Agent actress Arienne Mandi joins Chicago PD as series regular for Season 13
Washington DC [US], July 23 (ANI): 'The Night Agent' actress Arienne Mandi has joined the cast of 'Chicago PD' as a series regular for Season 13, reported Deadline. According to Deadline, Mandi will play Chicago P.D. officer Naomi Kerr. She is a former soldier and military contractor who is said to thrive in dangerous situations. The actress character in the series is described as a fearless outsider who keeps her cards close to the vest. Names and character descriptions could be changed at any stage of production, reported Deadline. Chicago P.D. follows the men and women of the Chicago Police Department's elite Intelligence Unit, combatting the city's most heinous offences, which include organised crime, drug trafficking, high-profile murders and beyond. According to Deadline, Naomi arrives at a particularly chaotic time for the team, following the murder of Deputy Chief Charlie Reid (Shawn Hatosy), orchestrated by Sergeant Hank Voight (Jason Beghe). Although Detective Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati) and Officer Dante Torres (Benjamin Levy Aguilar) are off the hook for the latter's affair with his CI and the former covering it up, there's no telling what the fallout will be just yet. LaRoyce Hawkins and Patrick Flueger also star in this thriller series. Meanwhile, Toya Turner has exited the NBC police procedural as Kiana Cook and will not appear in Season 13. "I'm grateful for the time I had bringing Kiana to life. Thank you to everyone who welcomed me so warmly," said Toya Turner as quoted by Deadline. Mandi currently stars in Season 2 of Netflix's 'The Night Agent'. She co-stars in Guy Nattiv's award-winning feature 'Tatami', which premiered at the Venice Film Festival. 'The Night Agent' actress will next be seen starring opposite Jon Hamm in season 2 of Apple TV 's 'Your Friends & Neighbours'. (ANI)

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.
