Viewers are curious to know why no new episodes of Chicago P.D., Chicago Med, and Chicago Fire will premiere next week on their usual timeslots. Last month, all three One Chicago shows took a two-week break before returning on March 26. However, NBC has now scheduled another week-long hiatus, postponing their next episodes set for April 9.
So, why are the shows facing these unexpected delays again? Here’s what we know.
Here’s why Chicago Fire, PD, and Med’s new episode won’t air next week
Chicago Med, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Fire won’t air next week. This may be to give the filmmakers additional time to complete the filming and editing process, allowing the creatives to complete work on upcoming episodes on time.
The series repeatedly going on hiatus has concerned fans, making them curious to know the reason behind it. NBC usually takes short breaks between seasons to ensure it runs smoothly through May when all seasons typically conclude. This one-week break likely appears to provide additional time for creatives to finish their work for the next episodes. However, this is a mere speculation and the network is yet to address the show’s absence next week.
According to TV Insider’s NBC schedule, the network is set to re-run episodes of the One Chicago shows in their regular timeslot. Chicago Med, at 8:00 PM, will air Season 10 Episode 5. Meanwhile, Chicago Fire, at 09:00 PM will premiere Season 13 Episode 5, and Chicago PD, at 10:00 PM Season 12, Episode 5.
Viewers need not worry as the shows will return on April 16, premiering their respective Episode 18. They can catch up on the shows originally on NBC. However, if you missed any of the episodes, then stream them on Peacock the next day. Ensure to have a valid plan before accessing the service’s library as it doesn’t offer a free trial.
