Jesse Lee Soffer returned to Chicago P.D. on the 2026 TV schedule earlier this year to reprise his role as Jay Halstead for the first time since leaving the series in Season 10. And it seems like he just can’t get enough of the NBC drama. The actor is officially teaming up with one of the co-creators for a brand new CBS show, and I absolutely love the support he’s getting from his One Chicago family.
According to TVLine, CBS is developing drama series Strike Force (working title). The series comes from Matt Olmstead, who co-created Chicago P.D. with Dick Wolff. Olmstead also served as executive producer on CBS’ FBI: International, which Soffer starred in for the fourth and final season. Soffer is set to executive produce and star in Strike Force should it go to series for the 2027-28 season.
