t looks like it’s going to be a while before we can sit down to catch new episodes of our favourite One Chicagoshows.Following the news of NBC’s scheduling shake-up this Wednesday which will see the latest episodes of Chicago Fire, Chicago PD and Chicago Med replaced with three hours of repeats, it’s been revealed that new episodes will not air next week either.
On Wednesday 30 March, audiences will be again treated to a trio of reruns as the franchise continues its unexplained hiatus from screens. Although details for the episodes set to air on Wednesday 6 April have not yet been released, according to reports, bosses have confirmed that’s when new episodes will next air.
Taking to Twitter, many fans expressed their frustration at having to wait even longer to catch up with their favourite Windy City firefighters, as well as doctors on Med and officers on PD

It’s not known why the franchise is taking another break so soon after returning from the month-long hiatus caused by NBC’s coverage of the Winter Olympics, although some have speculated that it could be down to the showrunners needing more time to finish post-production work on the episodes.
Others have suggested that March Madness, the name given the frenzy surrounding the NCAA Basketball tournament, could be the cause with bosses keen not to compete with the huge sporting event.
In the latest instalment of the firefighter drama, it was revealed that Kara Killmer, who plays Sylvie Brett, would be bowing out of the show indefinitely. Her character made the decision to move to Portland to be with her partner Matthew Casey – who fans saw leave earlier this season – after realizing that occasional weekends weren’t enough to keep their romance going.
Elsewhere, viewers also saw Miranda Rae Mayo’s Stella Kidd settle into her new role as Lieutenant while also making amends with Andy Allo’s Wendy Seager after the latter expressed feelings for Stella’s fiance Kelly Severide, played by Taylor Kinney.
