Chicago P.D.: Still Busting Perps After All These Years (Probably Longer Than You Think)
Ah, Chicago P.D. The Windy City's finest (well, some of them) chasing down bad guys and dodging bullets like they invented dodging bullets. But how long has this action-packed drama been keeping us entertained? Buckle up, because the answer might surprise you (or maybe it won't, if you're one of those people who religiously watches every episode).
The Great Chicago P.D. Time Warp
Let's cast our minds back to a simpler time. A time before the Kardashians took over social media and the word "unprecedented" became a daily news report. It was... checks calendar dramatically ... 2014! Yes, folks, that's when Chicago P.D. first premiered, as a mid-season replacement no less. Basically, they burst onto the scene like a rogue Intelligence Unit raid, ready to shake things up.
So, How Many Years is That? Let's Do Some Math (Because We Can't All Be Voight)
Since we're currently chilling in May 2024 (wow, time flies when you're watching intense interrogations, right?), that means Chicago P.D. has been around for... drumroll please... a whopping ten years! That's a decade of Halstead's brooding stares, Upton's sass, and Voight's questionable morals (hey, the man gets results!).
Ten Years of Drama: Have You Kept Up?
Ten years is a long time in TV land. Friends wrapped up in 2004, for crying out loud! So, the real question is: have you managed to keep up with all the twists, turns, and character exits that have happened in Chicago P.D.? If not, don't worry, there's probably enough relationship drama and undercover stings to fill a swimming pool.
Looking Ahead: More Busts and Bullets to Come?
Thankfully, it seems like Chicago P.D. isn't going anywhere anytime soon. The show just got renewed for a twelfth season, so get ready for more action, more drama, and maybe even a guest appearance from a long-lost relative (because that always goes well on these cop shows).
So there you have it, folks! The answer to the burning question of how long Chicago P.D. has been on TV. Here's to ten years of keeping us entertained, and here's to many more!
