Chicago Fire Season 13, PD Season 12 & Med Season 10 Release Dates Confirmed
NBC has officially confirmed the return dates for its One Chicago shows: Chicago Fire Season 13, Chicago PD Season 12, and Chicago Med Season 10. The One Chicago series is currently on hiatus after a particularly tumultuous year. Each show ended on an exciting note that would take their upcoming storylines to the next level. However, as the network moves to a regular schedule following a strike-shortened 2023-24 season, details have been released on when to expect One Chicago to return.
According to TVLine, Chicago Fire Season 13, Chicago PD Season 12, and Chicago Med Season 10 will all premiere on Wednesday, September 25. NBC and Wolf Entertainment are maintaining One Chicago’s weekly block despite previous concerns that the network might disrupt its three-hour primetime schedule. Chicago Med traditionally opens Wednesday at 8 p.m., followed by Chicago Fire at 9 p.m., and ends with Chicago PD at 10 p.m.
Due to the network’s delayed 2023-24 airing schedule, Chicago Fire season 12, Chicago PD season 11, and Chicago Med season 9 will each have 13 episodes — roughly half their usual annual output.
Since its debut in 2014, One Chicago has gone through a lot of changes, both in front of and behind the camera. But every time a cast or crew member leaves, the series has managed to move forward, even maintaining a healthy viewership. Last year, however, was particularly difficult, with several key cast members leaving. Longtime characters Sylvie Brett and Chief Wallace Boden have escaped Chicago Fire, and Hailey Upton officially said goodbye to Voight and Intelligence in Chicago PD season 11. Additionally, Chicago Med has essentially lost Crockett Marcel.
Despite these changes, there’s still a lot to look forward to when One Chicago returns this fall. Foremost is the series’ return to its usual episode count. Due to the network’s delayed 2023-24 airing schedule, Chicago Fire season 12, Chicago PD season 11, and Chicago Med season 9 all have 13 episodes each—roughly half of their usual annual output. This means that next season, any major storylines will have plenty of time to be resolved without compromising their procedural aspects. There will be more cases each week, making them perfect binge-watching shows.
