Even when the cameras stop rolling, the bond between the One Chicago cast stays as strong as ever. While their on-screen characters may be navigating emergencies, intense interrogations, and life-or-death decisions, real life for these beloved actors looks a lot more relaxed — and a whole lot cuter. In a delightful surprise for fans, four stars from Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. just reunited for a sunny summer hangout that quickly captured hearts across the fandom.
The stars spotted in this mini-reunion included Torrey DeVitto (Chicago Med’s Dr. Natalie Manning), Yaya DaCosta (formerly April Sexton on Chicago Med), Miranda Rae Mayo (Stella Kidd from Chicago Fire), and Marina Squerciati (Officer Kim Burgess from Chicago P.D.). The four actresses, each known for bringing fierce emotion and layered performances to their roles, traded in their scrubs, turnouts, and tactical gear for sundresses, shades, and smiles. The meetup reportedly took place at a cozy outdoor café in Chicago’s Wicker Park, where the group laughed over lunch and snapped a few selfies that quickly made the rounds online.
This wasn’t just any celebrity lunch date — it was a symbolic moment for fans who have followed the One Chicago universe for years. Seeing these women together again brought a wave of emotions. Torrey and Yaya haven’t been part of Chicago Med in recent seasons, and their characters were deeply missed. Seeing them reconnect with still-active cast members like Marina and Miranda gave fans a brief (but beautiful) taste of what a full-fledged cross-show reunion could feel like. For viewers who love the intersection of the three shows — especially during annual crossover events — this real-life meetup reminded everyone of the powerful friendships that exist not only on screen but behind the scenes.
The reunion instantly sparked one big question across social media: Could this lead to their characters crossing paths again? With Chicago P.D. and Chicago Fire still going strong, fans would love nothing more than to see Natalie Manning or April Sexton drop in for a special guest appearance. Whether it’s a shared case, an old flame, or a medical emergency that brings them together, the desire is strong. NBC has already confirmed more crossover events for upcoming seasons, and with streaming audiences growing and the One Chicago brand stronger than ever, a surprise appearance isn’t out of the realm of possibility. Some fans are even pushing for a One Chicago reunion special — or at least a reunion panel at next year’s conventions.
What sets Chicago Med, Fire, and P.D. apart from many other shows is not just the action, the stakes, or even the incredible writing — it’s the cast chemistry, both on and off screen. The shows have built a loyal community of fans who feel deeply connected to the characters, and moments like this summer reunion remind us why. Seeing Marina Squerciati and Miranda Rae Mayo sharing smiles with Torrey and Yaya doesn’t just make for a cute Instagram photo. It’s a symbol of continuity — proof that even as storylines evolve and characters move on, the heart of One Chicago beats just as strongly behind the scenes.
In a world filled with TV cancellations, recasts, and unpredictable endings, fans cherish the consistency and community that One Chicago offers. So when four beloved stars — two still active and two who’ve moved on — come together for a carefree summer hangout, it feels like more than a casual catch-up. It feels like a reunion of kindred spirits who have shared something extraordinary. And while their characters may be spread across different departments and storylines, the real-life bond between these women is a beautiful reminder: once part of One Chicago, always part of One Chicago.
