Will there be a Burgess and Ruzek wedding in Chicago P.D. Season 12?
That’s the question on many minds since their low-key engagement during the early part of Season 11. With the writers’ room assembling this week, showrunner Gwen Sigan is just as thrilled as you are to finally delve into the couple’s upcoming nuptials.
“I’m very excited to get into it,” the EP tells TVLine. “So few times on this show do you get these really happy moments.”
The cop procedural leans into the darkest aspects of the genre as Intelligence takes on the worst of the worst, leaving little room for joyous occasions.
“I think it’ll be fun [to write],” Sigan adds. “There’s definitely a possibility of, ‘Are we going to do the wedding next year? Are we going to do the planning? What are we going to see?’ So, I’m excited to figure out all of that.
Another thing to consider is the scale of the ceremony. Will they go all out with a big celebration or keep things small and private like their bedroom engagement? As many recall of the moment in Season 11, Episode 3, Ruzek casually pulled the ring from his nightstand and said with an open palm, “Let’s make this forever.” Burgess then quipped, “Third time’s a charm.” (Read our full recap here.)
“Their proposal was so them,” the Chicago P.D. boss shares. “They’ve been through so much and they have grown so much that it was just this very honest, small, intimate moment between the two of them.”
Naturally, Sigan imagines their wedding to be a bit like that.
“But then I also think about Makayla and that she’s going to be a part of all those conversations and wanting to be a part of [the ceremony],” she notes. “And Ruzek has this big family and all these friends… Is he going to want to do the whole thing? You could see them go either way. There’s probably a good middle ground there.”
Are you looking forward to Burgess and Ruzek’s wedding on Chicago P.D.? What do you hope to see in Season 12?
