Jesse Lee Soffer, known for his charismatic portrayal of Detective Jay Halstead on Chicago P.D. for ten seasons, is making a surprising return to the Dick Wolf universe, but this time with a new character and a new show.

Soffer's move to FBI: International comes as a surprise to many fans who were hoping for a potential return of Halstead to Chicago P.D. Halstead's exit in 2022 left the door open for a future return, with Soffer expressing his love for the character and a hope that he wouldn't disappear entirely from the "Chicago P.D." universe.
However, Soffer's new role as a series regular on FBI: International suggests that a return to Chicago P.D. might be less likely, as he embarks on a new adventure.
The Dick Wolf Universe Expands
Soffer's transition to FBI: International is a testament to the ever-expanding world of Dick Wolf productions. From the original Law & Order series to the One Chicago franchise and the FBI series, Wolf's universe has captivated audiences with its compelling storylines and diverse characters.
FBI: International is the ninth show in the Wolf/Universal universe, a testament to the enduring power of the franchise and its ability to attract talented actors like Soffer.
A New Role Awaits
Soffer replaces Luke Kleintank, who played Scott Forrester in FBI: International since its debut. Soffer's new role will see him take on a fresh character, stepping outside of the familiar territory of Chicago P.
D.
Soffer's move to FBI: International is a reminder that even the most beloved television characters can have unexpected journeys. Fans of Chicago P.D. might miss seeing Halstead on their screens, but Soffer's new chapter promises to be just as exciting and compelling, with the promise of new challenges, new storylines, and a chance for the actor to showcase his versatility in a new setting.
