Soffer will direct Episode 16 of the show’s current 10th season, set to air sometime in 2023, our sister publication Variety reports. This will mark Soffer’s first time as a director.

The actor had been with Chicago P.D. ever since the Dick Wolf series premiered in 2014; he has also crossed over to Chicago Fire and Chicago Med in more than 40 episodes. Soffer’s final episode as a series regular aired on Oct. 5.
