Chicago P.D. has found its new interim superintendent.

Following the death of Brian Kelton (John C. McGinley) in the show's Season 6 finale, the Dick Wolf procedural has recruited Prison Break alum and Shondaland regular Paul Adelstein to join the series in the recurring role of Interim Superintendent Jason Crawford, TVLine reports.

The show's former police superintendent, Kelton (McKinley), was apparently shot to death in his home by Voight (Jason Beghe) in the recent finale after he won the mayoral election and avoided being connected to the Intelligence Unit's investigation, culminating in what appeared to be a violent end to his feud with Voight.
