Toya is saying goodbye yall! If you are an avid Chicago PD fan then you are familiar with officer Kiana Cook. Toya Turner, the breakout star from Netflix’s Warrior Nun, brought fierce energy and fresh intensity to Chicago P.D. as Officer Kiana Cook in Season 12.
Now? She’s recently announced she won’t be returning for Season 13, and fans are understandably heartbroken.
On Instagram the star wrote:
My time on Chicago P.D. has come to a close. This show challenged me, sharpened me, and revealed what I’m made of. I’ve evolved through this experience, both as an artist and in my craft, and I’m walking away with depth, clarity, and momentum for whatever comes next.
To the cast and crew: thank you for the warmth, the laughter, and the generosity you brought every day. It was an honor to share the screen and the set with such talent.
To the ChiHards: thank you for welcoming me, rooting for me, and showing Kiana love.
And to everyone who believes in me: your support means the world. I’m excited for the opportunities ahead.
Next chapter ????,
Toya
According to Decider.com her role was far from background noise. Kiana Cook quickly earned a reputation for being unflappable in chaos, brought a tactical edge to the ongoing investigations, and filled the void left by Tracy Spiridakos’ exit—sparking fan hope for more representation and energy.
But Season 13 will need to pivot fast: NBC is already searching for a new female lead rumored to be a military-trained “loose cannon” on the ATF Task Force.
