Chicago Justice (originally developed under the title Chicago Law) is an upcoming American legal drama television series created by Dick Wolf and Matt Olmstead as a spin-off from Chicago P.D. It is set to be the fourth element of the Chicago media franchise.

On May 12, a day after the backdoor pilot aired on Chicago P.D., NBC gave the show a series order.[1]

Plot

Chicago Justice follows the State's Attorney's team of prosecutors and investigators as they navigate their way through Chicago area politics, the legal arena, and media coverage while pursuing justice.[2]

Production

Rumored to be in development on January 13, 2016, as a spinoff from Chicago P.D.,[3] the show was confirmed on January 21 under the working title Chicago Law during the 2016 Television Critics Association winter press tour.[4] By the time of March 11, the title was changed to Chicago Justice.[5] Filming began on March 28 for the backdoor pilot that aired on May 11 as the twenty-first episode of the third season of Chicago P.D.[6] The pilot is partially based on historical events and finds its inception from a true story.[7] The series was greenlighted by NBC for the show's pilot episode on May 12, 2016.[1]

Philip Winchester was the first to be cast on February 19, 2016, as Peter Stone, the prosecutor who put Voight in prison years ago.[8][9] Nazneen Contractor joined the series on March 11, 2016,[5] and Joelle Carter on March 14, 2016.[10] Rocky alum Carl Weathers joined the cast on March 19 as Cook County State's Attorney Mark Jefferies,[11] while Ryan-James Hatanaka was added to the cast on March 24.[12] Lorraine Toussaint will reprise her role as defense attorney Shambala Green, who appeared in seven episodes of Law & Order.[13]
