Fans of NBC’s Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago PD will have to wait a little longer for new episodes. In a surprising update, the network announced that the November 12 episodes of all three shows will serve as their fall finales. After that, the series will take an extended holiday break, with new episodes expected to return in January 2026—likely around the 7th.
This early break comes after just seven episodes of each show, earlier than usual for the One Chicago franchise. While disappointing for fans eager for weekly drama, the pause ensures the shows stay on track for the rest of the season. Meanwhile, past episodes remain available to stream on Peacock, keeping viewers entertained until the new year.
