It is official. NBC announced it has renewed Chicago Fire, Chicago Med and Chicago P.D., securing another full cycle of production in Chicago for the 2026–2027 season. The renewals will bring Chicago Fire to its 15th season, Chicago P.D. to its 14th and Chicago Med to its 12th.
The three series, all produced under Dick Wolf’s Wolf Entertainment and airing on NBC, remain a cornerstone of the network’s primetime lineup and a steady presence in Chicago production.
For the city’s production community, the renewal ensures continued work across all departments. From crews and stage operations to vendors and post production, the One Chicago franchise remains one of the most consistent sources of television employment in the region.
The renewal comes as the current production cycle is nearing completion. Chicago Med has already wrapped filming for the season, with Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. expected to wrap soon.
The three series generally start filming around the same week. Chicago Med typically wraps first, with Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. following soon after.
Each series has maintained a strong performance for NBC, contributing to the network’s Wednesday night lineup. While specific episode counts and production details for the upcoming season have not yet been confirmed, the across-the-board renewal signals continued network confidence in the franchise.
The decision also reinforces Chicago’s position as a reliable home base for large-scale television production, with all three series continuing to film in and around the city.
