It was a real-life One Chicago crossover experience, but unlike the action-packed, high-stakes drama that fans are used to seeing every Wednesday night, this particular gathering involved none of the explosions, fire rescues, or tense police investigations. Instead, it was all about relaxation, laughter, and enjoying some well-deserved downtime — complete with sushi, spa treatments, and quality time with friends.
On November 17, Chicago P.D. star Marina Squerciati took to Instagram to share a delightful glimpse into her weekend. She posted a charming carousel of photos showing exactly how she and some of her favorite co-stars spent their time: indulging in sushi feasts, unwinding at a luxurious spa, and simply enjoying each other’s company. Alongside Squerciati were her Chicago P.D. co-star Arienne Mandi, Chicago Fire’s Hanako Greensmith, Jocelyn Hudon, Miranda Rae Mayo, and even Taylor Kinney’s wife, Ashley Cruger. The group’s camaraderie was evident in every photo, capturing a rare moment of pure joy away from the hectic world of television sets and storylines.
In her Instagram caption, Squerciati described the gathering simply yet perfectly: “Sushi/Spa day for some hard-working ladies.” The relaxed weekend was a welcome break for the 41-year-old actress, who clearly values these moments with her friends and colleagues outside of filming. And as always, Squerciati’s posts reminded fans that she is no stranger to maintaining close bonds with her fellow cast members — a friendship that often shines through in the snapshots she shares online.
The photo carousel was filled with smiling selfies, candid laughs, and snapshots of genuine fun, offering fans a rare behind-the-scenes look at the close-knit “family” that exists off-camera in the One Chicago universe. It was a clear reminder that while the shows might feature intense drama and suspense, the people behind them also know how to take time for themselves and enjoy life. It’s safe to say that these ladies were making the most of the One Chicago winter hiatus, cherishing each other’s company and creating memories far from the bright lights and roaring sirens of their on-screen lives.
For viewers eager to return to the action, the good news is that the break won’t last forever. One Chicago Wednesdays will be back beginning January 7, bringing new episodes of all three shows to their regular primetime slots: Chicago Med at 8/7c, followed by Chicago Fire at 9/8c, and finally Chicago P.D. at 10/9c. Fans can look forward to the familiar mix of drama, heroics, and emotional storytelling that has made the franchise a staple of NBC’s Wednesday nights — but for now, it seems the cast is enjoying a well-earned pause, filled with friendship, laughter, and, of course, sushi.
