What to Expect From the Fall Finales

Each show is set to end 2025 with intense drama and powerful storytelling:

Chicago Med: “Double Down”

Doctors Asher and Archer work together to treat a cancer patient facing life-threatening complications just as he’s about to become a father. Hannah battles concerning pregnancy symptoms, while Dr. Lenox puts herself in danger to protect a patient. Meanwhile, Dr. Charles begins to suspect that a colleague might be hiding dangerous motives.

Chicago Fire: “Pierce the Vein”

At Firehouse 51, Severide takes the lead on an investigation into a suspicious high school fire that may have been deliberately set. Novak receives an unexpected call that could change her storyline completely, and Violet teams up with a fellow firefighter for a day on the ambulance. Even with Stella absent, this episode promises major emotional payoffs and turning points for the team.

Showrunner Andrea Newman told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year:

“There is one main theme this season — Stories. The stories we’re told, the stories we tell ourselves, and how those stories shape our choices.”

Chicago P.D.: “Impulse Control”

Voight’s suspicions about Raymond Bell reach a boiling point when a violent break-in ties back to a dangerous case from the past. The episode also shines a spotlight on Officer Eva Imani, who has formed a tense working bond with Voight. As the team scrambles to prevent further bloodshed, loyalties will be tested — and one character may not make it out unscathed.

Will There Be Another One Chicago Crossover?

Fans are still buzzing about last season’s crossover event, which brought all three shows together for one blockbuster night of action. When asked about another crossover, showrunner Gwen Sign told Deadline:

“It would be wonderful to bring them back. The pairings were unexpected and full of tension — there’s definitely more to explore in the future.”

While there’s no official confirmation of a crossover in 2026, NBC insiders have hinted that future episodes could feature surprise appearances and interconnected storylines across the three series. The Fall Finales for Chicago Med, Fire, and P.D. (Nov. 2025)

When Will One Chicago Return in 2026?

Following the November finales, One Chicago will take an extended winter hiatus before returning in January 2026. Although NBC hasn’t released an exact premiere date, fans can expect the shows to return around Wednesday, January 7, 2026, in their usual lineup.

The early break is designed to accommodate NBC’s holiday programming schedule and prevent midseason interruptions.

Bonus for Fans: The Official One Chicago Podcast

For the first time, One Chicago fans will be able to dive deeper into the franchise with The Official One Chicago Podcast, produced by Wolf Entertainment and USG Audio. Announced by Steven Weber and Marina Squerciati at the 2025 ATX TV Festival, the podcast will feature behind-the-scenes interviews with the cast, writers, and producers from Chicago Med, Fire, and P.D.

New episodes of the podcast will drop Thursdays throughout the TV season, offering inside stories, production insights, and exclusive content to tide fans over during the hiatus.

The Bottom Line

Mark your calendars — One Chicago’s fall finales air Wednesday, November 12, 2025, on NBC. Expect shocking revelations, emotional cliffhangers, and setups for explosive storylines when Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. return in January 2026.
