NBC kicks off its 2023 Fall Schedule on Sept. 25 and Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med are not included on the schedule.
NBC has shifted the ONE CHICAGO franchise to its mid-season lineup for 2024.
Typically the cast and crews of Chicago Fire, P.D. and Med would be scheduled to begin filming this week with an expected premiere date of Wednesday, September 20. However, the historic double strike of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has halted all production of scripted TV shows.
The season premieres for the NBC scripted shows, Night Court, Extended Family, Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU – will all be announced at a later date.
With all of our favorite scripted shows missing from the fall lineup, the new NBC season will be packed with unscripted reality TV without actors, with a few scripted shows that were filmed before the strike.
