Chicago P.D.'s Jesse Lee Soffer eyes TV return with CBS drama
Strike Force

Jesse Lee Soffer is set to return to network television in a new
CBS law enforcement drama. Variety reported that CBS has opened
a development room for the series, titled Strike Force (working
title). The project reunites Soffer with longtime collaborator
Matt Olmstead, who is writing and executive producing the show.

Jerry Bruckheimer and KristieAnne Reed also serve as executive
producers via Jerry Bruckheimer TV. CBS Studios will produce the
series. The network is developing Strike Force to potentially
launch during the 2027-2028 broadcast season.

The show's logline reads, "A battle-tested DEA agent (Soffer)
returns home to Kansas City to lead a multi-agency strike force
targeting the violent criminals now trying to exploit America's
heartland." Soffer will star in and executive produce the project
alongside Olmstead.

Soffer is best known for playing Senior Detective Jay Halstead in
Chicago P.D. for 10 seasons before departing. He and Olmstead
previously worked together on that series, which Olmstead
co-created with Dick Wolf. Olmstead also served as showrunner on
Chicago P.D. for four seasons.

The pair later reunited on FBI: International at CBS. Soffer
joined that Wolf Entertainment show for its fourth and final
season. Olmstead served as a writer and executive producer on the
series during that time.

Beyond Chicago P.D., Soffer appeared in both Chicago Med and
Chicago Fire. He also featured in a crossover episode with Law &
Order: SVU. His earlier credits include As the World Turns and
Hatfields & McCoys.

Olmstead has worked extensively with Wolf across multiple
franchises throughout his career. He co-created Chicago Med,
Chicago Justice, and Law & Order: Organized Crime starring
Christopher Meloni. His other credits include NYPD Blue, Prison
Break, and Stumptown.
