NBC’s One Chicago franchise is firing on all cylinders as it heads into the Fall 2025 TV season — and fans can finally mark their calendars.
Following a string of jaw-dropping season finales, Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med are officially returning, bringing with them fresh drama, emotional upheaval, and the promise of high-stakes storytelling across Chicago’s hospitals, firehouses, and precincts.
Here’s everything you need to know about premiere dates, returning cast, and where the storylines left off:

🚑 Chicago Med – What’s Next in Season 11?
Season 10 ended with Sharon Goodwin (S. Epatha Merkerson) tasked with making painful cuts at Gaffney Medical Center — and fans should brace for major staffing changes.
-
Dr. Hannah Asher’s (Jessy Schram) unexpected pregnancy could affect her surgical schedule.
-
Dr. Daniel Charles (Oliver Platt) is thrown off when his daughter Anna drops out of Stanford and moves back to Chicago.
-
Expect Dr. Archer’s fate and Dr. Marcel’s future at the hospital to also come under scrutiny.
Season 11 will likely explore:
✔️ Hospital budget cuts
✔️ Hannah’s pregnancy arc
✔️ Charles’ family tensions
✔️ New hires at Gaffney
🚒 Chicago Fire – Season 14: Babies, Betrayals & Big Changes
Firehouse 51 won’t look the same in Season 14.
🚨 Confirmed Exits:
-
Jake Lockett (Carver)
-
Daniel Kyri (Ritter)
🚨 Confirmed Returns:
-
Taylor Kinney (Severide)
-
Miranda Rae Mayo (Kidd)
-
David Eigenberg (Herrmann)
-
Christian Stolte (Mouch)
-
Joe Miñoso (Cruz)
-
Hanako Greensmith (Mikami)
-
Jocelyn Hudon (Novak)
-
Dermot Mulroney (Chief Pascal)
Season 13 cliffhangers set the stage for Season 14:
-
Stellaride (Severide and Kidd) are expecting a baby — but parenthood may test their bond.
-
Chief Pascal became a murder suspect in the fire that killed his wife’s alleged lover.
-
Violet’s future hangs in the balance as she’s still torn between new love and Carver’s departure to Denver.
🔥 Season 14 will tackle:
✔️ A murder investigation
✔️ A new baby at 51
✔️ A vacant lieutenant role
✔️ A shake-up in the Ambo dynamic
👮 Chicago P.D. – Season 13 Could Be Intelligence’s Most Explosive Yet
P.D.’s Season 12 finale delivered a bombshell: Deputy Chief Reid dismantled Voight’s unit and left its surviving members scattered.
💥 Here’s where we left off:
-
Voight is under internal investigation.
-
Burgess is suspended.
-
Torres is arrested.
-
Atwater and Ruzek remain, but the team is fractured.
Season 13 will likely see:
✔️ Voight fighting for the unit’s survival
✔️ A new command structure (and maybe new team members)
✔️ Burgess’s legal battle
✔️ A possible redemption arc for Torres
And given the chaos left in Reid’s wake, don’t rule out a larger citywide conspiracy being uncovered across episodes — or a big crossover.
⚖️ What About Chicago Justice?
Don’t expect a revival anytime soon. While fans still fondly remember the 2017 legal drama, NBC confirmed there are no current plans to bring Chicago Justice back — though its characters could pop up in guest roles.
🔥 Final Thoughts
As the One Chicago universe gears up for Fall 2025, the stakes couldn’t be higher — from explosive investigations to personal reckonings and fresh starts. Whether you’re Team Med, Fire, or P.D., this season promises to bring all the heart, heat, and heartbreak we’ve come to expect.
Stay tuned, because One Chicago Wednesdays are just getting started.
