Just days before the high-stakes season finales of Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago P.D., NBC has given fans the update they’ve been hoping for. All three series are officially coming back for the 2025–2026 TV season. It’s a reassuring move, letting viewers know that while cliffhangers and character exits might be around the corner, the shows themselves are not going anywhere.
This major renewal means Chicago Fire is set to return for its 14th season, Chicago Med for Season 11, and Chicago P.D. for its 13th. The One Chicago universe continues to defy the odds in a TV landscape where few series survive beyond a couple of years. NBC’s commitment confirms the franchise’s strength, fanbase loyalty, and storytelling power.
That said, change is definitely brewing. Over on Chicago P.D., Tracy Spiridakos’ exit as Detective Hailey Upton looms large. Her departure is set to be one of the most emotional moments in the series’ recent history. Will she leave quietly, or will her farewell rock the Intelligence Unit to its core? With the show renewed, writers have the freedom to deliver a stunning exit—perhaps one that leaves a trail well into the next season.
Chicago Fire is also facing its share of shake-ups. The long-awaited return of Taylor Kinney’s Severide has brought stability, but Firehouse 51 has been anything but predictable. Whispers of character burnout, possible reassignments, and emotional tension are all setting the stage for a finale packed with pivotal decisions. And with relationships heating up on multiple fronts, fans are bracing for either heartbreak or long-awaited happiness.
Meanwhile, Chicago Med continues its balancing act between fresh medical drama and evolving leadership. With some familiar faces possibly stepping away and new ones rising, the hospital is at a turning point. Who will step up, and who might say goodbye?
Beyond character arcs, this moment reminds us just how far the One Chicago franchise has come. What started with a single firehouse drama has grown into a network-spanning powerhouse, connecting first responders, medical teams, and law enforcement across a richly woven narrative. Few shows maintain this kind of relevance and audience connection after more than a decade, but One Chicago continues to adapt and thrive.
As finale week approaches, viewers are gearing up for huge moments, but this time with one key difference—they know the story continues. These final episodes aren’t farewells; they’re transitions to the next chapter.
So get ready. The tears may fall, the sirens may scream, but One Chicago isn’t closing its doors anytime soon. In fact, it’s just getting started.
