From the firefighters, to the cops, and the medical professionals, it’s a city full of heroes, and each of them has a story. Welcome to One Chicago, the hit television franchise that focuses on the Windy City. Chicago One was created by Dick Wolf, a producer known for developing the Law & Order franchise. In other words, this man knows a thing or two about creating procedurals.

What’s the difference between each of the One Chicago shows?
Let’s get things started by breaking down each of the One Chicago shows. There are a few television shows in the franchise, so this should help you keep them straight. The titles are pretty self-explanatory, but if you’re curious about the premise of each Show, this should clear things up.
Chicago Fire (2012-present) – This show focuses on the Chicago Fire Department. This series launched the One Chicago franchise. Most episodes center around rescue operations while dealing with the personal and professional lives of the firefighters and paramedics.
Chicago P.D. (2014- present) – A police procedural focusing on the Chicago Police Department. At times the cops use legally dubious tactics to get the job done.
Chicago Med (2015-present) – A medical drama set at a Chicago hospital. Like most hospital shows, it follows the doctors and nurses as they deal with patients, administrative issues, and their personal problems.
Chicago Justice (2017) – A series focusing on the Cook County’s State Attorney office. It ended after one season, and it’s currently the only One Chicago show that isn’t available on Peacock.
If you come across Chicago Hope and The Chicago Code, don’t worry about those shows. These are unrelated shows that have no connection to the One Chicago franchise.
