With a new year comes new episodes of your favorite shows.
On Wednesday, January 7, 2026, One Chicago Wednesday returns with a slate of brand new episodes of Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D., with all three shows picking up right where they left off.
Here’s everything fans need to know about One Chicago’s return on January 7.
When does Chicago Med come back?
The long fall hiatus finally ends on January 7, and Chicago Med welcomes viewers back in a big way at 8/7c with the eighth episode of Season 11, “Triple Threat.”
Time seemed to stand still when Dr. Caitlin Lenox (Sarah Ramos) was attacked by a patient and left for dead as the power went out at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center. It was the cliffhanger of all cliffhangers, and fans are counting down the hours until Chicago Med kicks off a brand-new night of One Chicago premieres on January 7.
(If you haven’t caught the thrilling “Double Down” midseason finale, the episode — and many more — are available to stream on Peacock.)
When does Chicago Fire come back?

Chicago Fire returns to its usual time slot on January 7 at 9/8c, and fans will be treated to a white-hot new episode that continues all the action from the exciting midseason cliffhanger.
Titled “A Man Possessed,” the episode takes viewers right back into the harrowing ordeal Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) found himself in at the end of “Pierce the Vein” — stuck inside a burning building as Firehouse 51 metaphorically falls apart.
Tune in at 10/9c to catch the latest episode of Chicago P.D. — “Born Screaming,” which will focus on the aftermath of the cliffhanger that has had Chi-hards on the edge of their seats for nearly two months.
Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) and the team will attempt to solve the Raymond Bell case once and for all, while fans will finally know the fate of Eva Imani (Ari Mandi), who found herself in a harrowing situation as the November midseason finale “Impulse Control” faded to black.
It’s so good to have Windy City Wednesdays back — fans can count on new episodes of all their favorite One Chicago shows every week until the 2026 Winter Olympics begin with coverage on NBC and Peacock starting with the Opening Ceremony on February 6, 2026.
