Chicago Fire Season 12 & Other One Chicago Shows Get Premiere Date By NBC

With fans of the “One Chicago” ready for the new seasons of their shows, this development is pretty exciting, especially after they were left hanging due to the strikes. Due to concerns over streaming residuals and the advent of artificial intelligence — amongst other issues — pretty much every major show had its premiere delayed, and “One Chicago” fans will be able to settle in for new episodes of “Chicago Med,” “Chicago P.D.,” and “Chicago Fire” right after the start of the New Year.

The shows are all, quite obviously, set in Chicago and in specific (fictional) hospitals, fire departments, and police precincts, and just like Dick Wolf’s “Law & Order” franchise, the shows frequently experience crossovers. (In fact, the first episodes of both “Chicago P.D.” and “Chicago Med” were backdoor pilots initially.) The one big thing that ties the shows together, though, is Molly’s, a bar where doctors, nurses, firefighters, and cops frequently gather. In 2015, former “Chicago Fire” showrunner Matt Olmstead expressed the importance of Molly’s to The Hollywood Reporter. “We always keep an eye on that in the room on all the shows: how can we find storylines that bring together characters that normally don’t hang out? That’s what gave us Molly’s,” he explained. 

Before the “One Chicago” franchise makes its emphatic return next year, fans can go back and stream all their favorite episodes on Peacock.
