Fans of Chicago P.D. are reveling in a double dose of excitement this week. As the beloved NBC drama gears up for another high-stakes episode, actress Marina Squerciati—known for her powerful portrayal of Detective Kim Burgess—has ignited a wave of buzz online with a series of vibrant cast selfies that are as heartwarming as they are star-studded.
On Wednesday, March 26, Squerciati took to Instagram to share a photo that instantly captured fan attention. Sandwiched between co-stars Toya Turner (Officer Kiana Cook), LaRoyce Hawkins (Detective Kevin Atwater), and the ever-iconic Amy Morton (Sergeant Trudy Platt), Squerciati beams with joy. Fans wasted no time showering the group with praise, calling them “beauties” and celebrating the camaraderie that jumps off the screen and onto social media.
Behind-the-Scenes Vibes Are Everything
The photo drop has sparked a tidal wave of comments, many tinged with anticipation for the upcoming episode. As one top-liked user wrote, “All of you are beautiful! I always get anxious with Kim’s episodes and now I’m even more”. Another chimed in, “We’re looking forward to this episode. I already have the tissues ready. Thanks for this beautiful photo. So nice to see Trudy.”
For fans of Sergeant Platt, Morton’s return to the selfie spotlight was a treat. Known for her sharp wit and commanding screen presence, Morton is a fan-favorite whose appearances always seem to reignite the show’s nostalgic core. The post felt like a love letter to both the cast’s off-screen bond and the emotional gravity that Burgess-centric episodes tend to carry.
Building Anticipation With Familiar Faces
Just hours before this group snap, Squerciati also shared another behind-the-scenes image—this time with Patrick John Flueger and young actress Ramona Edith Williams, who portray her on-screen fiancé Adam Ruzek and adopted daughter Makayla Ward. The intimate family shot, coupled with a teasing caption about something “big” on the horizon, only deepened the suspense for what’s to come in the episode.
These moments of shared joy between the cast members have become a hallmark of the show’s online presence. As breaks between episodes stretch into multiple weeks, fan patience often wears thin. But photos like these work as a balm, reminding viewers of the enduring chemistry that fuels Chicago P.D.‘s narrative engine.
As one fan bluntly put it, “Thank God you guys are back on tonight! These 2-3 week breaks are killing me!”—a sentiment echoed by many who’ve followed Burgess and Ruzek’s emotional arcs through intense seasons of trauma, resilience, and healing.
Tonight’s Episode: What’s In Store for Burgess?
With Squerciati hinting at big developments, speculation is rampant. Burgess episodes often tread emotionally rich ground—touching on her PTSD recovery, her role as a mother, and her deepening bond with Ruzek. Given the intense reactions from fans already prepping their tissues, expectations are high for tonight’s story to leave a lasting impact.
The show continues to air Wednesdays at 10 p.m. EST on NBC, and for those who prefer to stream, new episodes drop the following day on Peacock.
In the end, these behind-the-scenes glimpses do more than hype a new episode—they humanize the stars and rekindle the community spirit among fans. Will tonight’s episode deliver the “big” moment Marina teased? We’re all watching—and waiting.
