Windy City Wednesdays are back! NBC’s beloved One Chicago franchise will officially return on October 1, 2025, with an explosive fall line-up that fans have been waiting months to see.

The announcement ends a long summer of anticipation for One Chicago devotees, who can now rejoice knowing that their favorite frontline heroes—doctors, firefighters, and detectives—are set to dominate Wednesday nights once more. The schedule will remain classic and tight:

• Chicago Med kicks things off at 8 PM ET

• Chicago Fire ignites the night at 9 PM ET

• Chicago P.D. brings it home at 10 PM ET

With all three shows airing back-to-back on NBC, fans can once again experience the full One Chicago universe in a single night of adrenaline-pumping drama, emotional gut punches, and tightly woven crossovers.

Chicago Fire Season 14: The Heat Rises

Chicago Fire, the original series that launched the franchise in 2012, heads into Season 14 with high expectations. Last season ended on a cliffhanger involving an apartment blaze gone horribly wrong and a potentially career-ending injury for one of the 51 squad members. Now, questions swirl around the future of Lieutenant Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney), who made a surprise return after taking personal leave midway through Season 13.

With Severide back, fans are eager to see how his dynamic with Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) will evolve. Will they rebuild after time apart, or are more storms ahead? Also looming is the fate of Mouch (Christian Stolte) after his on-scene collapse and Herrmann’s (David Eigenberg) escalating tension with brass at CFD headquarters.

And what’s a new season of Chicago Fire without fresh recruits and new tensions at Firehouse 51? Expect new faces, deeper rivalries, and a disaster that could test the team like never before.

Chicago Med Season 11: The Hospital in Crisis

In Season 11, Chicago Med returns with the Gaffney Chicago Medical Center still reeling from the administrative shake-ups and staff departures that closed out last season. The ER is short-staffed, overworked, and on the brink—setting the stage for medical emergencies that are not just about physical trauma, but moral choices.

With Dr. Crockett Marcel (Dominic Rains) now one of the most experienced surgeons left standing, he’ll be forced to step into a leadership role whether he’s ready or not. Meanwhile, Dr. Hannah Asher (Jessy Schram) and Dr. Archer (Steven Weber) find themselves at odds again over patient care and the hospital’s increasingly politicized policies.

There are also rumors swirling of a new hospital CEO with ties to the board—one who may not share Sharon Goodwin’s (S. Epatha Merkerson) priorities when it comes to putting patients before profit. And with longtime viewers noting the show’s emotional arcs and ethical gray zones, this season could be one of the most personal yet.

Chicago P.D. Season 13: A City Divided

Chicago P.D. returns for its 13th season, and Sergeant Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) remains at the heart of the Intelligence Unit. But after a string of brutal moral dilemmas and high-stakes decisions that left his team fractured, trust inside the unit has never been shakier.

The fallout from last season’s undercover op—where Atwater (LaRoyce Hawkins) crossed lines to protect a witness—continues to haunt the squad. Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati) is still coping with PTSD and struggling to balance her work with her responsibilities as a mother. Meanwhile, Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger) is facing disciplinary action that could sideline him permanently.

New threats emerge from within City Hall, as a politically motivated task force starts targeting Intelligence Unit methods, putting Voight in direct conflict with elected officials and internal affairs. Expect secrets, betrayals, and high-stakes cases that blur every line between justice and vengeance.

One Night. Three Shows. One Chicago.

The One Chicago franchise remains one of the most successful and enduring connected universes on television, and NBC’s decision to keep them in a back-to-back slot ensures fans can immerse themselves fully into this fictional Chicago every Wednesday night.

With over two months left, now is the perfect time for new fans to catch up and returning viewers to revisit key arcs. Whether it’s Severide’s fiery rescues, Dr. Marcel’s emotional surgeries, or Voight’s intense interrogations—October 1 promises a triple threat of storytelling that will leave audiences breathless.
