‘Chicago P.D.’ Season 9 Teaser Trailer Hints Kim Burgess Is in for a Rough Recovery
Fans grew concerned Kim Burgess actor Marina Squerciati may leave the Chicago P.D. cast after her character’s life-threatening injuries in season 8. Now, a new teaser trailer is here for Chicago P.D. Season 9. And it looks like Burgess’s injuries are seriously grave despite her survival — and her road to recovery might also be seriously difficult. Here’s what the teaser shared.
Is Kim Burgess leaving ‘Chicago P.D.’ in 2021? She was nearly killed at the end of season 8
Many fans may wonder if Kim Burgess is leaving Chicago P.D. for good after season 8. In the finale of the last season, she found herself in a horrifying situation after she was captured. While she initially tried to reason with her captor, it didn’t get her far. The captor’s partner ended up shooting the person who originally held her hostage — and she was also shot several times and left for dead.
Luckily, Burgess survived the initial gunshots and was able to crawl to play dead long enough to find refuge in an abandoned vehicle. But by the time she called for help, her situation became dire. At the end of the season, Burgess reportedly lived — but fans know she may have to fight to heal and survive from the wounds and the trauma.
NBC released recent photos of Chicago P.D Season 9, and Kim Burgess doesn’t appear in any of them. What could this mean for her character? Fans theorize Kim Burgess isn’t leaving Chicago P.D., but rather production wants to keep fans holding on to her cliffhanger recovery ahead of the season premiere.
