Chicago P.D. fans who have been waiting since the spring to witness the aftermath of the Season 10 finale only have a few weeks left without any new episodes, but the cast of One Chicago's police procedural had something different to celebrate recently. Patrick John Flueger, who has played Officer Adam Ruzek from the first season, turned 40 earlier this month, and his co-stars celebrated his birthday Ghostbusters-style in the Windy City. And honestly, seeing photos of the cast having fun together just makes me cross my fingers all the harder for some good news about Ruzek after the Season 10 finale cliffhanger.
Ruzek's fate after being shot in the Season 10 finale was still unknown when the final credits rolled, and the WGA writers strike followed by the SAG-AFTRA actors strike meant that the resolution didn't come with a fall premiere as per usual for Chicago P.D. Ahead of Season 11's premiere in the 2024 TV schedule, Patrick John Flueger, Marina Squerciati (Officer Kim Burgess), Tracy Spiridakos (Detective Hailey Upton), LaRoyce Hawkins (Officer Kevin Atwater), and former Chicago Med star Nick Gehlfuss (Dr. Will Halstead) had some fun for Flueger's birthday, which Squerciati arranged for her on-screen partner and real-life "bestie." Take a look:
