Chicago P.D. Season 10 will be the final season for longtime detective of the CPD Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer). Some fans may be sad to bid farewell to Detective Halstead and everything Soffer brings to the One Chicago universe but luckily Chicago P.D. showrunner Gwen Sigan has confirmed his exit will not demand a sudden goodbye.

Hopefully it all makes sense when everyone sees the episode that hes departing in and we did build to it and we did have a chance to do that. We tried to keep it as grounded [as possible] and do justice to Jesse and how great he is Sigan revealed to TVLine. He puts in a very good performance in all of it. Its going to be really impactful.

Sigan also told Variety Ive been trying to look at it as really giving him something incredibly powerful. I think hes really brilliant in this season what hes been in and so its nice to see him have that. We tried to stay really true to his character and to what he stands for and what he means for the show and for the unit.

Sigan also touched on what Soffers exit means for Detective Halstead and Uptons marriage. [Its] definitely going to be a big impact on her character this season when she is without him Sigan told TVLine. Its such an interesting relationship and its been that way since the beginning. They have this thing together. Its like they know what each others thinking. They have always supported each other. 

...Theyve gotten in so many situations that have been so traumatic and yet theyve had each others backs Sigan added. Even their marriage is built on this need to get through something to be able to be each others anchor and to keep each other steady. Its a challenge and shes going to have to get through it. Well see her go in some interesting places and how it manifests itself.
