NBC has officially confirmed the premiere date for the upcoming season of One Chicago, bringing fans of the franchise the drama they’ve been waiting for. After much anticipation, it has been revealed that Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med will return to television on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.

The night kicks off with Chicago Med Season 11 at 8:00 PM ET/PT, followed by Chicago Fire Season 14 at 9:00 PM ET/PT, and wrapping up with Chicago P.D. Season 13 at 10:00 PM ET/PT.

While some fans hoped for an earlier return in September, the October premiere guarantees a thrilling start to the fall season for all three shows. Viewers can look forward to more high-stakes cases, heroic rescues, and emotional rollercoasters as the beloved characters of the One Chicago franchise face new challenges.

What to Expect from Chicago Med Season 11

Season 11 of Chicago Med will see the continuation of Hannah’s pregnancy storyline, which will raise the stakes for the team, as well as a deeper dive into Dr. Charles‘ personal life. Additionally, new characters such as Dr. Mitch Frost and Dr. Ivy Lenox are expected to play more prominent roles this season, adding fresh dynamics to the hospital setting.

Changes in Chicago Fire: A New Era for Firehouse 51

In Chicago Fire, fans can rest assured that Taylor Kinney’s Kelly Severide will continue to anchor the team at Firehouse 51. However, the 14th season will also mark the exit of Daniel Kyri’s Darren Ritter and Jake Lockett’s Sam Carver. These departures will leave noticeable gaps in the cast, and it remains to be seen who will step into these key roles. Despite the change, the show is expected to introduce new characters and storylines that will keep the audience engaged.

Chicago P.D.: Voight Continues to Lead Intelligence

Chicago P.D. will maintain its focus on Hank Voight, portrayed by Jason Beghe, as the center of the Intelligence unit. Officer Kiana Cook is expected to gain more screen time this season, bringing new energy to the team. While NBC has kept details under wraps, fans can expect high-intensity cases and deep dives into the moral complexities of the police force.

Why the October Premiere Is Worth the Wait

Though fans initially hoped for a September premiere, NBC’s decision to bring the entire One Chicago lineup back in October is a strategic move. A synchronized premiere across all three shows ensures that the interconnected stories will unfold in real-time, providing viewers with a cohesive experience that emphasizes the interwoven world of Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med.

The decision to keep the three shows aligned promises an exciting and immersive experience for fans, where each show’s events will ripple into the others, adding new layers to the drama.

As anticipation builds for the fall premiere, fans can prepare for another year of explosive action, emotionally charged moments, and captivating storylines when One Chicago returns to NBC on October 1, 2025.
