Order up a deep-dish pizza because One Chicago is back.
Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med are returning for new seasons, and some changes are ahead for the Windy City’s bravest.
“We’re going to have a lot of turnover and a lot craziness going on in the CFD [Chicago Fire Department] from the top, where people are being cut and moved, and everything’s going to get shaken up next season,” Chicago Fire showrunner Andrea Newman teased to TV Line in May 2025.
“There will be hellos, and there will be goodbyes. I’ll say that. That’s for sure,” she added.
The Chicago Fire finale turned up the heat, ending on a cliffhanger with an unexpected arrest. Meanwhile, Chicago Med had a surprise pregnancy, and Chicago P.D. had a heartwarming wedding.
