Chicago PD alum Sophia Bush offers first-look at new movie role
By Cody Schultz
Since leaving Chicago PD in 2017, Sophia Bush has been keeping quite busy. In fact, that might be an understatement.
She’s appeared in a number of films and television projects, most recently appearing as the lead in CBS’s medical drama Good Sam. The role marked her first series regular role in a broadcast drama since she departed PD, but despite the positive buzz around the series and Bush’s incredible performance ratings ultimately led to the series’ untimely demise.
Bush’s future on the small screen remains uncertain after the cancellation of Good Sam, but she’s already begun filming her newest project!
Sophia Bush teases new movie role
Hot off her role as Dr. Sam Griffin on Good Sam, Bush has already landed her newest role and this time she’s heading back to the world of cinema with a role in a new movie — one directed, written and starring one of her former One Tree Hill costars.
As revealed by Bush on Instagram, she’s officially boarded the upcoming movie Junction, from Bryan Greenberg. “Turns out making great movies with best friends is a dope adventure [Junction],” Bush wrote. “[Bryan Greenberg] just casually directing, starring in, and writing the whole thing! So proud of you, bro!”

The new film will address the modern-day opioid crisis in America by looking to ask how it came to be as told from three different points of view of the CEO of a pharmaceutical company, a doctor, and a patient. It’s unclear who Bush will be playing in the character, but IMDb credits her as playing a character named Allison.
Bush is one of many notable stars attached to the film which also includes Josh Peck, Jamie Chung, Griffin Dunne, Michaela Conlin and Ryan Eggold.
