NBC Renews ‘Chicago Fire,’ ‘Chicago PD,’ and ‘Chicago Med’

NBC has officially renewed its popular shows “Chicago Fire,” “Chicago P.D.,” and “Chicago Med.” These renewals ensure “Chicago Fire” will enter its 15th season, “Chicago P.D.” will reach its 14th, and “Chicago Med” will begin its 12th season. All three series are expected to return in the fall of the 2026-2027 broadcast season.

Consistent Ratings and a Loyal Audience

The quick renewals of these shows come earlier than usual for NBC. Typically, announcements for the “One Chicago” franchise are made in April, just ahead of the NBCUniversal upfront presentation to advertisers in May. Despite their longevity, these dramas continue to be strong performers on NBC’s primetime schedule.

All three series are crucial to NBC’s Wednesday night lineup, airing back-to-back. On March 4, NBC showcased a “One Chicago” crossover event, leading to season highs in total viewers for each show.

Production and Executive Team

All three series are produced by Universal Television in partnership with Wolf Entertainment, which has a long-standing relationship with NBC. Notable executive producers include:

• Chicago Fire: Andrea Newman, Reza Tabrizi, Matt Whitney
• Chicago P.D.: Gwen Sigan, Chad Saxton, Gavin Harris, Jason Beghe
• Chicago Med: Allen MacDonald, Stephen Hootstein

Lead Cast Members

The cast of these successful shows features talented actors:

• Chicago Fire: Taylor Kinney, Miranda Rae Mayo, David Eigenberg, Christian Stolte, Dermot Mulroney
• Chicago P.D.: Jason Beghe, Patrick John Flueger, Marina Squerciati, LaRoyce Hawkins
• Chicago Med: Oliver Platt, Luke Mitchell, S. Epatha Merkerson, Steven Weber

Other NBC Decisions

NBC has also renewed the comedies “Happy’s Place” and “St. Denis Medical.” However, decisions are still pending for freshman comedies like “Stumble” and “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins.” Additionally, the network will need to finalize decisions regarding “The Hunting Party” and “Brilliant Minds.” Notably, “Brilliant Minds” was recently removed from the schedule, indicating potential cancellation.

This year, NBC is revisiting pilot season, considering reboots such as “The Rockford Files” featuring David Boreanaz, along with a new show from Dick Wolf titled “What the Dead Know.” The future looks promising for the “Chicago” series as they continue to capture viewers’ interest.
