A new episode of Chicago P.D. is slated for Wednesday, April 2.
Next up on the docket, Officer Kevin Atwater gets an episode.
As has become the familiar format for Chicago P.D., a specific character leads many of the mid-season episodes.
On the latest Chicago P.D. episode, Detective Kim Burgess took center stage. She had to solve five murders that happened at a diner.
The episode was presented uniquely, and Burgess solved the case before the night ended.
Now, the baton gets passed to Atwater. He takes the lead for the upcoming episode.
This format will likely continue until we get to the important storylines that will wrap up the current season.
