9 Familiar Faces Joining ‘Law & Order,’ ‘Chicago Fire’ & More Dick Wolf Shows This Fall
A new broadcast season tends to mean at least some new characters. And considering how many shows Dick Wolf has in the primetime—now, eight scripted, with Law & Order: Organized Crime moving to Peacock for its fifth season, with a premiere date not yet announced—it’s no surprise that there are quite a few to be found across those.
For instance, new bosses are coming to Chicago Fire (Dermot Mulroney), Law & Order (Maura Tierney), and FBI: International (Jesse Lee Soffer). The hospital and Intelligence of Med and P.D., respectively, are getting new faces. And Captain Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) is adding to her squad on SVU. This comes as most of those shows said goodbye to cast members at the end of last season or over the summer.
Scroll down for a look at all the new characters—and everything we know about them—coming to Dick Wolf shows in the 2024-2025 season.
Dermot Mulroney, Chicago Fire
Mulroney will star as Chief Dom Pascal. According to the original report of this new character coming in, Dom previously worked in the CFD at the start of his career but has been a chief in Miami for the past decade. He’s a cheerful person who works well under pressure. His leadership style differs from Wallace Boden’s (Eamonn Walker).
KaDee Strickland, Chicago Fire
Strickland will recur as Dom’s estranged wife, Monica.
Sarah Ramos, Chicago Med
Ramos has joined the cast in the series regular role of Dr. Caitlin Lenox. No other details have been revealed about her character.

Barnet is also a new series regular, playing Dr. John Frost. There are no other details available.
Toya Turner, Chicago P.D.
Turner (pictured above on New Amsterdam) is a new series regular. She’ll be playing patrol officer Kiana Cook, who loves the adrenaline of the job and its stakes. She doesn’t blink in the face of chaos.
Lisette Olivera, FBI
Lisette Olivera is a new series regular for Season 7. She’s playing Syd, a trained Behavioral Analysis Unit Agent about to move into the field, according to Deadline.
Jesse Lee Soffer, FBI: International
Soffer is trading in his detective badge and joining the international series as a new character (despite it and P.D. being set in the same universe). He’ll star as Supervisory Special Agent Wesley “Wes” Mitchell, who is “newly embedded to the Fly Team.” The agent is described as “charming and rakish,” and his “impeccable instincts and unconventional tactics fuel his drive to stop at nothing to achieve justice.”
