It’s great news for One Chicago fans.
NBC has ordered new Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. seasons.
The Wednesday night shows continue to perform well in the ratings, leading to an easy renewal decision by the network.
Getting renewal notices in March also allows the writers some breathing room to write good scripts before the summer hiatus.
It also opens the door for some more One Chicago cliffhangers. Chicago Fire is one show that loves to end each season with fans gasping for breath.
Yes, that’s a pun, as several Chicago Fire finales have also left their characters gasping for breath in fires, underwater, etc.
More episodes are coming from One Chicago
The 2024-2025 television season will now feature Chicago Med Season 10, Chicago Fire Season 13, and Chicago P.D. Season 12.
Each show has received a full-season order, meaning way more episodes than the shortened seasons from this winter and spring.
Provided we don’t see additional work stoppages, the hit dramas should have no trouble churning out those episodes.
