Jesse Lee Soffer departed Chicago P.D. in Season 10 after playing Detective Jay Halstead since the beginning, and now the actor is set to return to the Dick Wolf Universe by joining FBI: International .
His addition comes on the heels of Luke Kleintank’s surprise departure just before Season 3 ended, and while Soffer won’t be reprising his role as Jay, it is still pretty exciting. Many of Soffer’s Chicago P.D.
and overall One Chicago pals shared the love. Details on Soffer’s character on the CBS procedural are still under wraps, but he will be joining as a series regular in a brand new role, which will surely shake things up for the Fly Team. He took to his Instagram to share the news with his followers and his excitement for the role, which will mark his first project as an actor since P.
D. And several One Chicago actors couldn’t be happier for him in the comments: Among the commenters were Soffer’s former on-screen wife and partner Tracy Spiridakos and fellow Intelligence Unit friend and colleague LaRoyce Hawkins. Season 4’s recurring star Nick Wechsler also made sure to congratulate him, as well as one-off Chicago Med guest star Jen Landon, among others.
(Landon also joined the FBI universe for Most Wanted Seasons 2-3.) It’s clear that they and surely many others from One Chicago are happy for him. Of course, plenty of fans were among the many commenters sharing their excitement.
Regardless of the fact that he will not be playing P.D. 's Jay Halstead on Int.
