A Star-Studded Summer Reunion
The stars of the One Chicago universe took a break from their intense filming schedules to gather in Monte-Carlo for a fabulous summer reunion at the 64th Monte-Carlo Television Festival on June 15. Chicago Fire’s Jocelyn Hudon and Hanako Greensmith, Chicago Med’s Darren Barnet, and Chicago P.D.’s Benjamin Levy Aguilar were spotted together, posing for a chic red carpet photo that instantly had fans buzzing with excitement. This unexpected crossover moment made waves, as fans of the popular One Chicago franchise couldn’t get enough of the talented stars hanging out and sharing their love for each other on social media.
Celebrating the Best of One Chicago
All three shows in the One Chicago franchise were well represented at the prestigious event. From Darren Barnet, who plays an essential role in Chicago Med, to the fierce women of Firehouse 51, Jocelyn Hudon and Hanako Greensmith, the actors brought their A-game with stylish and sophisticated outfits that perfectly matched the glamour of the Monte-Carlo setting. Benjamin Levy Aguilar from Chicago P.D. was also present, sharing a carousel of snaps on Instagram from the event. His post was a heartfelt thank you to his fans, who came out in droves to meet him at the festival.
Aguilar captioned his post, “What an unforgettable experience at the Monte Carlo Film Festival! It was amazing meeting so many of you. Thank you for the incredible support and love. More to come!” These glimpses into the actors’ fun-filled reunion at the festival remind fans of the camaraderie that exists behind the scenes of these gripping dramas. Their heartfelt gratitude is a reflection of the warmth and authenticity that shines through the One Chicago family.
A Family Beyond the Screen
While the glitz and glamour of the event made it a show-stopping moment for the actors, it also highlighted the special bond that has developed among the cast over the years. The One Chicago shows, created by Dick Wolf, are known for their explosive storylines, high-stakes action, and emotional depth. But it’s the behind-the-scenes relationships that truly bring the magic to life.
Dick Wolf, the mastermind behind the franchise, has often spoken about how the cast gets along seamlessly. “It’s a pretty big family,” Wolf shared in a 2019 interview. “Everybody gets along. I mean, there are no squeaky wheels in the cast… I’ve never had anything like it, which is, I think, only visible to the audience by the fact of how good they are together.” This supportive, collaborative spirit is clear both on-screen and off, and it’s a major reason why fans have remained so connected to the characters over the years.
As Patrick John Flueger (Chicago P.D.’s Adam Ruzek) put it, “We goof around the whole time. Everyone is so serious, but at the same time, we goof around. Every set says, ‘We’re a family, we’re a family.’ I’ll tell you what: we are a family!”
What’s Next for One Chicago Fans?
With the cast continuing to show support for each other both on and off-screen, One Chicago fans can look forward to even more unforgettable moments when the shows return this fall on NBC. Whether you’re eagerly awaiting more explosive firehouse rescues on Chicago Fire, complex medical cases on Chicago Med, or intense police action on Chicago P.D., now is the perfect time to revisit past episodes on Peacock.
From heart-pounding moments to family bonds that extend beyond the screen, the One Chicago franchise proves time and time again that it’s not just about the action—it’s about the people who make the stories come to life. And as the new episodes approach, fans can count on more powerful performances, behind-the-scenes fun, and, of course, the unbreakable ties that bind the One Chicago family together.
