The show went on a midseason break after the fall finale in October 2025. Episode 7, titled “The One That Got Away (Part 1),” ended with several unresolved storylines. The mystery surrounding Roman, Morgan’s former partner, continues to build. The winter return kicked off with Part 2 of that story.
With episodes airing weekly without further major breaks, viewers can follow the remaining 11 episodes straight through to the season finale in March. The extended episode count has allowed the writers to develop ongoing mysteries while still delivering a new case to solve each week.

The main cast also includes Daniel Sunjata as Adam Karadec, Javicia Leslie as Daphne Forrester, Deniz Akdeniz as Lev “Oz” Özdil, Amirah J as Ava Gillory, Matthew Lamb as Elliot Radovic, Judy Reyes as Selena Soto, and Steve Howey as Nick Wagner. Howey joined the cast this season as a series regular playing the precinct’s new captain.
