Chicago P.D. got a major boost in Season 4 when Tracy Spiridakos joined the NBC procedural as Hailey Upton. The actress went on to star in the series for seven more seasons before departing in Season 11, and saw her character through major milestones like becoming a detective, getting married, and getting divorced. Hailey’s arcs were some of the darkest in the series, but she got a happy ending when she left Chicago in search of her next adventure, possibly in another law enforcement agency. Her character returned briefly in the latest One Chicago crossover, confirming that she had indeed joined the FBI.
For Spiridakos, the journey did not end with her departure from Chicago P.D., and the actress had revealed that she had decided to leave the show to pursue other creative opportunities. Soon after, she starred in a missing persons thriller film. It was later announced that Spiridakos would lead a new series, also playing a law enforcement officer, but not in Chicago or as a part of the FBI. She plays the main character in USA Network‘s drama premiering this August as the network slowly builds its scripted programming.
Tracy Spiridakos is Anna Pigeon, the titular character in the series based on Nevada Barr‘s mystery book series. Her character is described as a former city slicker who upends her entire life after losing her husband. The ordeal changes everything Pigeon had thought about herself, and she packs up her entire life and becomes a park ranger. However, crime is everywhere, and Pigeon is bent on solving anything that occurs in her park, no matter what tries to get in her way. This puts her on a collision course with other law enforcement agencies that claim jurisdiction over the scenes.

Sheridan Has Spoken You Belong In…
The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.

You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.
You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.

You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.
You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.
