NBC has a reason for not broadcasting any new episodes of the One Chicago franchise tonight (April 9, 2025). The hiatus is especially frustrating because all three of the main shows in the One Chicago universe left off at an exciting point in their respective storytelling. Chicago Med focused solely on Archer (Steven Weber), following him through his attempt to keep working through his pain and grief after learning his ex-wife had died. This same theme continued in Chicago Fire with Pascal.
Pascal has been struggling since he lost his wife, Monica, on their anniversary, and he blew up at a driver at the scene of an accident that left a little girl trapped in a car. This sequence demonstrated that Pascal is one of the strongest additions to the Chicago Fire season 13 cast of characters. Finally, Atwater had to choose between his loyalty to his girlfriend and to the pursuit of justice in Chicago PD. Sadly, all of these developments are on hold until after the hiatus ends.
Why There’s No New One Chicago Tonight (April 9, 2025
Instead of new episodes of Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago PD, NBC is airing reruns of One Chicago. First, Chicago Med is rebroadcasting its Halloween episode (season 10, episode 5). This is followed by Chicago Fire season 13, episode 5, and Chicago PD season 12, episode 5. Since all three shows are re-airing the fifth episode of the season, it’s unlikely that these storylines are related to what will be coming up next. However, it is possible that they were chosen in order to refresh the audience’s memory about certain plot lines.
NBC has given no specific reason for its decision not to air new One Chicago episodes tonight. However, at this point in the season, it is common for networks to take short hiatuses. This practice during the spring months allows the network to ensure it has enough episodes left to stretch through mid-May, when scripted TV series typically wrap up for the season. NBC has not announced a finale date yet, but there are only five episodes left in the season, so this break will allow it to air continuously through May 14, 2025.
When Will New Episodes Of Fire, PD, & Med Release?
While it’s frustrating to have to wait, the good news is that this hiatus will be short. The reruns will air on April 9, 2025, followed by all-new episodes on April 16, 2025. Thus, audiences only have to wait one extra week to find out what is happening next in their favorite One Chicago shows. This short hiatus will be over quickly, allowing the series to move swiftly toward their season finales.
While NBC is only going to re-broadcast episode 5 of each series, all three One Chicago shows are available in their entirety for streaming on Peacock.
The short break offers the opportunity to catch up on any episodes missed during the season. While NBC is only going to re-broadcast episode 5 of each series, all three One Chicago shows are available in their entirety for streaming on Peacock. Audiences can either catch up on episodes from this season or watch previous seasons on Peacock. This makes it easy to watch or rewatch favorite episodes while waiting for the next new episode to air.
