After her departure from the NBC drama Chicago P.D., Lisseth Chavez is all set to return with her badge again in Season 5 of ABC’s The Rookie.

More about Chicago P.D. alum Lisseth Chavez
Lisseth Chavez is an American actress who started her career as a model. She first appeared in 2009's reality beauty contest, True Beauty, and has since appeared in The Baby, Southland, Shameless, and a number of other shows in the subsequent years.

Her filmography
While Lisseth Chavez has appeared in shows like Lucifer, Rizzoli & Isles, Night Shift, The Fosters, Station 19, and The OA, she bagged the lead role in playing rookie officer Vanessa Rojas on NBC's Chicago franchise shows. The franchise includes Chicago P.D., Chicago Med, and Chicago Fire. Her role in the series was originally designed to set her up as the potential girlfriend of Kevin Atwater, which was initiated in season 7 of the series but was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Unfortunately, Lisseth Chavez's character arc also came to an end there, as it was announced during the break that she would not return to finish her character's storyline. This was due to the fact that the character, "never entirely clicked with fans or the producers."
During that time, Chavez was cast in The CW's Legends of Tomorrow season 6 as a tech-geek with a tragic past. In the episode of the series, titled The Fixed Point, her character comes out as as*xual which made her the first Arrowverse character to do so.
Lisseth Chavez will appear as a guest star in several episodes of ABC's The Rookie during Season 5. She will be seen portraying the character of Celina, who is a new rookie with easy confidence and high marks at the Academy whose unconventional approach to police work poses a unique challenge for her training officer.
