Chicago P.D. star Tracy Spiridakos has teased that the season 11 finale will be "intense," ahead of her exit from the show as Haley Upton that same episode. It was previously announced Spiridakos' last episodes would be in Chicago P.D. season 11, giving Upton one last sendoff. The upcoming season finale focuses on her hunting for the serial killer Frank Matson (Dennis Flanagan) after he kidnaps Voight (Jason Beghe).

Speaking with Variety, Spiridakos teased what to expect from the Chicago P.D. season 11 finale, citing it as an "intense" final episode. While offering details about how emotional Upton's final episode is going to be, the actor also revealed why she decided to exit the series in the upcoming finale. Check out what Spiridakos had to say below:

I decided at the end of my sixth season, which is when I had reached out to Gwen and to everyone at Wolf to let them know that I just wanted to do one more year. I wanted us to send out the character with one last season. It was a hard decision — very, very hard. I love everybody on the show — cast, crew, producers, writers, everybody. It’s such an incredible team. I was just curious what was out there for me and wanted to switch it up, and that was it. She goes through the emotion of feeling so scared of losing [Voight] and then focusing all of that fear and anxiety on the work to do everything she can to outsmart Matson as best she can. The whole team is doing everything they can. I don’t think anyone sits down the whole episode… There’s a lot of really vulnerable moments. We see these characters, who we haven’t necessarily seen be so vulnerable, you see a lot of that come through as well.

More to come...
