It's no secret that Chicago PD will look a little different when it returns for its fifth season.
On the outside, everything might seem the same. Voight will still be making ruthless and morally questionable decisions, Platt will probably still be hard on Burgess and Olinsky will still be rocking his signature hat.
But there's going to be quite a shake-up when it comes to the core cast. For starters, Det. Lindsay (Sophia Bush) will have accepted an FBI gig in New York. Detective Hailey Upton (Tracy Spiridakos) will take her spot in the unit and as Halstead's partner.
We'll also be seeing a familiar face. Antonio Dawson (Jon Seda) will be returning this season after a brief stint on the now-canceled spin-off Chicago Justice.
Check out the official stills from Chicago PD Season 5 Episode 1 below, and join us September 27th as we review the full episode.

I Got Your Back - Chicago P.D. - Chicago PD Season 5 Episode 1
Things were pretty rocky for Ruzek and Burgess last season after they ended their engagement. Somehow, they found their way back to each other and Intelligence. Will they give romance another shot? Or is it strictly business from now on?

The New Lindsay - Chicago P.D. - Chicago PD Season 5 Episode 1

Summer's Over - Chicago P.D. - Chicago PD Season 5 Episode 1
Ruzek and Atwater may be in their summer clothes but don't be fooled, they are all work and no play. Just look at Atwater's expression. If he doesn't get his intel soon, someone is going to pay the price.

Freeze - Chicago P.D. - Chicago PD Season 5 Episode 1
Jay looks a little shaken up and we don't blame him. Not only is he chasing down the bad guys, he's also trying to cope with the fact that his ex-girlfriend, who he was planning on proposing to, left the unit!
7.
On My Order - Chicago P.D. - Chicago PD Season 5 Episode 1
Don't move until I say so. That's what I imagine Voight saying to his team. He's been known to run a tight ship when it comes to Intelligence, but will he continue being a trusted leader with all the changes in his unit?
8.
We Have a Few Questions - Chicago P.D. - Chicago PD Season 5 Episode 1
Olinsky and Burgess didn't get off on the right foot when she first joined the unit but it looks like they've finally learned to work together. The same can't be said for their partnership with the Mayor because she doesn't look pleased.
9.
Not On My Watch - Chicago P.D. - Chicago PD Season 5 Episode 1
This season is supposed to tackle major issues that are currently affecting Chicago as it relates to police and racial tension. I don't know anyone more qualified for the job than Hank Voight. The bad guys need to realize that he will always come out on top because this is his city. Just check out that victory smirk!
Morgan William's senseless death has caused this city great distress and pain. And as a result, we've gone to great lengths to find someone to blame. Someone to hate. And no one has wanted to hate Detective Halstead more than me. But, the more I learned about what actually transpired that morning, the more I'm convinced Detective Halstead did nothing wrong. In fact, his actions saved several lives, several black lives.
