Fans of NBC’s One Chicago franchise are celebrating in a big way this week, as major updates confirm that the beloved series—Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med—are charging full steam ahead into fall with returning favorites, crossover plans, and even extended episode orders.
After months of behind-the-scenes negotiations, NBC has officially announced that all three series will return for new seasons with the majority of their core cast intact. That means viewers can expect to see Taylor Kinney back in action as Lt. Kelly Severide on Chicago Fire, Jason Beghe continuing his role as Hank Voight in Chicago P.D., and Oliver Platt leading the charge on Chicago Med as Dr. Daniel Charles.
Perhaps most exciting of all, One Chicago Wednesday—the fan-favorite three-hour programming block—will remain on NBC’s fall schedule, keeping the lineup uninterrupted and perfectly synced for crossover events. The network has already teased at least two major crossover episodes this season, with intense cases that will connect all three shows and their characters.
Adding to the buzz is news that NBC has expanded episode orders for the new seasons. Fans will get more drama, more character development, and more time with the heroes of Chicago’s firehouses, hospitals, and police departments.
As premiere dates approach, excitement continues to build across social media, where fans are sharing countdowns, throwback clips, and theories about what's next. With the return of familiar faces and promises of emotionally charged storylines, One Chicago’s upcoming seasons are already shaping up to be some of the most thrilling yet.
