Get ready to mark your calendars, Chi-Hards—your favorite Windy City Wednesdays are hitting pause but only temporarily. While Chicago Med, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Fire are currently on a short hiatus, brand-new episodes are right around the corner—and they’re set to bring the drama, intensity, and camaraderie we all crave.
🗓️ When Are New Episodes Coming Back?
NBC has confirmed that no new One Chicago episodes will air on Wednesday, March 12 or March 19. But don’t panic—the break is only two weeks long. All three series will return with fresh new episodes on Wednesday, March 26, airing in their usual timeslots.
In the meantime, it’s the perfect chance to catch up or rewatch your favorite storylines—whether it’s Sharon Goodwin commanding the floor at Med, Voight’s latest tactical move in P.D., or the Firehouse 51 crew running headfirst into another blazing emergency. All past seasons are available to stream now on Peacock.
🎭 Behind the Scenes: Set Vibes Across One Chicago
Ever wonder what it feels like to walk through the One Chicago universe behind the scenes? In 2024, stars S. Epatha Merkerson (Med), Miranda Rae Mayo (Fire), and Jason Beghe (P.D.) sat down on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to share what really makes each set tick.
🏥 Med – “A sophisticated dinner party.”
Mayo describes the Chicago Med set as peaceful, calm, and introspective. “People are reading books, everybody’s talking softly. It’s very elegant and mature.” The perfect fit for a hospital-based drama.
🚔 P.D. – “A bit rougher, but tight-knit.”
The P.D. crew is a no-nonsense bunch, but with heart. “They expect you to be on your P’s and Q’s,” said Mayo, though she also emphasized the respect and professionalism that defines the team.
🔥 Fire – “A vibrant circus.”
Chicago Fire, true to its action-packed nature, is the liveliest set of the three. “We’re loud, we’re laughing,” Mayo joked. Co-star David Eigenberg echoed her sentiments in a November 2024 interview, saying, “We laugh hard every day on this show. That’s why the crew stays. It’s a beautiful set.”🤝 The One Chicago Family Vibe
The chemistry fans see on-screen? It’s real.
Series creator Dick Wolf has long praised the One Chicago ensemble for being not just professional, but deeply collaborative:“There are no line counters. No ‘Where’s my close-up?’ Everyone gets along. It’s a remarkably ensemble-like world.”
That genuine dynamic is part of what makes the One Chicago universe feel like home for viewers—and what keeps millions tuning in season after season.
📺 Until Then…
While you wait for new episodes to drop, why not revisit your favorite crossovers, medical mysteries, or firehouse family moments? With three shows offering intertwining storylines and rich character arcs, there’s never a dull moment in the One Chicago universe.
Set your alarms for March 26—and get ready. The Windy City’s wildest Wednesdays are coming back hotter than ever.
