Toya Turner has joined the Dick Wolf procedural in a series regular role for the upcoming Season 12, sources confirm to TVLine exclusively.
Update: The actress, who recently recurred on NBC’s New Amsterdam , is set to play Kiana Cook, a patrol officer who loves the adrenaline of the job and its stakes and doesn’t blink in the face of chaos. (Note: The character was previously named Yara Page.)
Turner is no stranger to #OneChicago, having previously guest-starred on both Chicago Med and Chicago Fire . Her arrival on Chicago P.D. comes in the wake of Tracy Spiridakos’ departure as Det.

Turner, who began her career training at the prestigious British American Drama Academy (BADA) at Oxford University, has appeared on numerous TV series, including Grey’s Anatomy , The Mick , Easy and Empire (starring Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson).
