The One Chicago universe has become a cornerstone of NBC’s primetime lineup, and now fans finally have the news they’ve been waiting for—Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med are all officially renewed and coming back with their leading stars intact. Since its inception in 2012 with the debut of Chicago Fire, the franchise has built a loyal following through its mix of adrenaline-fueled rescues, gritty police investigations, and deeply emotional medical storylines. Over the years, the three shows have intertwined with crossovers, romances, rivalries, and heartbreaks, creating a shared world that has become television’s most reliable source of weekly drama. And while rumors swirled about potential cast shake-ups for the fall 2025 broadcast season, Deadline has confirmed that the core ensemble fans know and love will indeed return, promising that the emotional stakes will remain higher than ever.
On the medical side of things, Chicago Med continues to anchor the Wednesday night lineup with stories that balance gripping emergencies with heartfelt character arcs. Fans were especially thrilled to see Robin Charles, played by Mekia Cox, reappear in season 10, reigniting dynamics with her father, Dr. Daniel Charles, portrayed by the incomparable Oliver Platt. The finale left audiences in suspense with a cliffhanger involving Dr. Hannah Asher, played by Jessy Schram, whose fate will be revealed in the new season. Now viewers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Platt will once again step into the shoes of the cantankerous yet endearing psychiatrist, alongside S. Epatha Merkerson’s Sharon Goodwin, the hospital’s steady and compassionate leader. With both veterans confirmed for season 11, fans can rest assured that the emotional core of Chicago Med remains unshaken even as the doctors and nurses continue to face new crises.
Meanwhile, Chicago P.D. shows no signs of slowing down as it gears up for season 13. The season 12 finale left viewers on edge with a nail-biting showdown between Hank Voight and cunning newcomer Charlie Reid, played by Shawn Hatosy. Reid’s ability to manipulate the people around him made him one of Voight’s most dangerous adversaries yet, and the outcome of their battle will ripple into the next season. With Jason Beghe confirmed to return, fans can look forward to more of Voight’s unique brand of leadership, one that blends ruthless pragmatism with flashes of vulnerability when it comes to the team he treats like family. Whether it’s testing his moral boundaries or finding unexpected connections with colleagues, Voight remains the heart of Chicago P.D., and his presence ensures the show retains its gritty, unpredictable energy.
Then there’s Chicago Fire, the series that started it all back in 2012 and will now enter its 14th season. The season 12 finale packed in emotional punches and life-altering developments, particularly for Stella Kidd and Chief Dom Pascal. Fans can now celebrate knowing that Miranda Rae Mayo and Taylor Kinney are returning as Stella Kidd and Kelly Severide, one of the franchise’s most beloved couples whose relationship has weathered countless storms. Their bond, forged through both firehouse loyalty and personal trials, remains a centerpiece of the show. Additionally, Dermot Mulroney will reprise his role as Chief Dom Pascal, a character whose leadership has already stirred dramatic ripples in the firehouse. Together, these returns signal that Chicago Fire is primed to continue delivering the explosive rescues and heartfelt character arcs that made it a television staple in the first place.
As the summer hiatus stretches on, fans may not know exactly when their favorite shows will return, but NBC has confirmed that the One Chicago trio will once again dominate Wednesday nights in the fall. Though official premiere dates haven’t been set, history suggests new seasons will launch in late September or early October 2025, alongside stalwart franchises like Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU. Until then, speculation will swirl over cliffhangers, character fates, and the inevitable crossovers that make One Chicago such a unique television experience. With its hallmark blend of action, heart, and family, this powerhouse of interconnected dramas continues to prove why it remains NBC’s crown jewel—and why fans will be counting down the days until the sirens, badges, and stethoscopes return to the screen.
