"Chicago P.D." showrunner Gwen Sigan and star Tracy Spiridakos talk Hailey's exit and the return of Elias Koteas as Al Olinisky.

In a conversation with Variety, showrunner Gwen Sigan and Spiridakos break down Hailey’s emotional ending, how Al’s return came about and what this all means for Voight’s future.
