Before the finale of the twelfth season, NBC announced a renewal for Season 13.

Turner went on to express gratitude towards the cast and team for the “warmth, humor, and kindness” they contributed to the production. Furthermore, she mentioned that it was a privilege to act alongside such talented individuals in front of and behind the camera.

After that, the actress expressed her appreciation to fans for their warm welcome, continuous support, and showing Kiana affection. Turner ended her message by expressing gratitude towards her supporters, stating “I can’t emphasize enough how much your support means to me. I’m thrilled about the opportunities coming up.

Initially, Turner made her debut as Kiana during Season 12’s second episode of Chicago PD and remained a key character throughout that season. Moreover, she reprised her role as Kiana in Season 10’s eleventh episode of Chicago Med. Notably, this isn’t unusual for network series, as actors often transition from minor roles to major characters by playing different personas within the same show.

As I type this, I’m still left guessing why Turner decided to part ways with Chicago PD. The details behind his departure are yet to be fully revealed.
