Toya Turner is making her debut on Chicago P.D. on Wednesday (September 25) on NBC!
The Warrior Nun star will be joining Season 12 as Kiana Cook, a police officer “who loves the adrenaline of the job and its stakes, and doesn’t blink in the face of chaos,” via TVLine.
“She’s very cool. She’s very different,” the showrunner Gwen Sigan told the outlet of the new addition to the team.
“She’s coming from patrol, which is nice. She’s not a brand-new officer. When we meet her, we’ll realize, ‘Oh, she’s been on the force for a few years,’ so we get to see that she knows her way around. She knows what she’s doing.”

Gwen adds that she is “very action-oriented” and “not scared to get in there, to get messy. She likes to run and gun, to be in the thick of it.”
“She’s certainly a character who speaks her mind,” she teased. “She has been through a lot within the police department and is looking for a place where she fits in and they do the job in the way that she loves to do the job, where they stand with integrity. And so, she’s going to find a family within the 21st.”
She also represents the first Black female Intelligence officer in the series, and “that, I think, is going to open up a lot of story for us, and give us a lot of great opportunities to tell stories maybe we haven’t gotten an opportunity to yet, or we haven’t gotten to dive into as deeply as we would like. It’s exciting, and great for the show.”
She previously guest-starred on both Chicago Med and Chicago Fire. She will make her debut in Season 12 on Episode 2. Check out her Instagram!
