🔍 Viewing Tips & Notes
-
Tune in early: The block begins with Chicago Med at 8 p.m. ET; make sure you’re ready for the full evening.
-
Streaming afterwards: If you can’t watch live, check next-day availability on Peacock, which may be more convenient for international viewers.
-
Time-zone conversions: Since you’re in Hanoi, plan accordingly for the early-morning local viewing (Thursday morning).
-
Expect cliffhangers: As a mid-season finale, the episodes are set to end with unresolved threads to carry forward into the new year.
-
Franchise continuity: While each show stands alone, they often crossover and refer to each other — regular viewers of the full One Chicago lineup will pick up additional context and story threads.
🔮 What’s Next?
After this November 12 broadcast, the One Chicago shows will pause for the remainder of 2025. According to press coverage, the full return of new episodes is expected early in 2026, likely in the first half of January — though official dates have not yet been published. primetimer.com+1
