The 'Chicago P.D.' 'FBI' crossover sees Hailey Upton embark on a new mission in NYC.

The FBI and FBI: Most Wanted crossover episode aired on Tuesday, March 24, and some crime drama fans assumed that that was the biggest event of the season. However, a bigger and even more exciting special is about to launch, promising a real treat for viewers eager to immerse themselves in two hours' worth of suspense and murder-related speculation. 

The Chicago P.D. and FBI crossover ventures even further. The multi-network affair will see Hailey, one of the main characters of the long-standing NBC drama travel all the way to New York to make a brief, though no less memorable, cameo on the CBS TV series.

"Tracy’s character is a fan favorite, and I’m extraordinarily happy to be shining an even greater light on her and gaining new fans along the way before she returns to Chicago P.D.," executive producer Dick Wolf told Deadline

The crossover will double as the 'FBI' season finale as well.

The crossover marks a breakthrough in Hailey's career journey, raising new questions about whether the investigator was able to adhere to the rigorous procedures and build lasting connections with every member of the new team. What's more, the episode offers a rare opportunity for actress Tracy Spiridakos as well, allowing her to showcase her ability to deliver an exceptionally well-detailed portrayal of the complex character in a completely different setting.
