Chicago P.D. has already settled into its new season, whose first two episodes have given insight into what’s to come.

As soon as the hour is over, fans are already anticipating what’s to come, which is why it’s difficult knowing there’ll be a wait to find out. Chicago P.D. will return with new episodes in January — here’s what we know.
Episode 1: ‘Fighting Ghosts’
Now in its eighth season, Chicago P.D. stars Jesse Lee Soffer, Marina Squerciati, LaRoyce Hawkins, and others. The season began only a few weeks ago. So, what happened during that all-important premiere?
Episode 1 is titled “Fighting Ghosts,” according to FanSided. It focuses on racial profiling by incorporating a storyline in which Kevin Atwater faces ongoing harassment from fellow officers.
It also exposes the truth about the shooting of Laura — a storyline that has intrigued fans from the beginning — and sees Miguel Cortez arrested at gunpoint. The episode ends with Cortez’s release, much to the dismay of Hank Voight, who has recently learned Laura died from her injuries.
Episode 2: ‘White Knuckle’
In the second episode, “White Knuckle,” Deputy Superintendent Samantha Miller struggles to get along with Voight. And Atwater’s job disturbs him after the Blue Wall intimidation and his stand against racism. Meanwhile, Meaww reports, an addict named Billy appears to have shot a woman, and although the evidence points to him, he denies the claims.
Then, in a shocking twist, Atwater, who blames the police system for his troubles, admits he no longer wants to be a cop. What does his revelation mean for the rest of Chicago P.D.’s eighth season? Will he move forward with his job?
Finally, now that Detective Hailey Upton is also back in Chicago, more secrets might come to light.
