NBC’s One Chicago franchise is wrapping the filming of another high-powered season, with Chicago Med and Chicago P.D. having wrapped production and Chicago Fire set to finish on April 17.
All three shows are delivering a full 22-episode season — a return to form that fans have been eager to see.
The franchise, which launched with Chicago Fire in 2012, has become a television institution, drawing millions of viewers each week and consistently topping primetime ratings. The blend of heart-pounding action, emotional storytelling, and deeply human characters continues to resonate across all three shows.
Chicago Fire originals Taylor Kinney and David Eigenberg remain fixtures of the firehouse drama, while Chicago P.D. is still led by Jason Beghe’s hard-edged Sgt. Hank Voight — a character who has defined the tone of the police procedural since its 2014 debut. Over on Chicago Med, S. Epatha Merkerson continues to bring gravitas and warmth as hospital administrator Sharon Goodwin, a role she’s held since the medical drama premiered in 2015.
Equally vital to the franchise’s long-running success are the Chicago-based crews who bring these stories to life. With their unmatched dedication and skill, these local professionals help create the gritty, authentic feel that sets One Chicago apart — rain, snow, or summer heat.
As the season winds down, fans can expect more dramatic turns, emotional closures, and cliffhangers to hold them over until next fall. After more than a decade on the air, One Chicago remains not just a TV franchise — but a Chicago institution.
