Everything to Know About One Chicago’s Upcoming Season Premiere and What to Expect

The One Chicago franchise is set to return next week with fresh episodes launching on Wednesday, January 7. Fans can look forward to new installments of Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D., each continuing their stories directly from where the fall season paused.

Chicago Med kicks off the night at 8/7c with the eighth episode of its eleventh season, titled "Triple Threat." The episode resumes after the intense cliffhanger where Dr. Caitlin Lenox was attacked by a patient during a power outage at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center, leaving viewers eager to see her fate. Those who missed the previous episodes, including the midseason finale “Double Down,” can stream them on Peacock ahead of the new premiere.

Following at 9/8c, Chicago Fire returns with the episode "A Man Possessed." This installment dives into the aftermath of firefighter Kelly Severide’s perilous situation inside a burning building, as seen in the earlier episode "Pierce the Vein." The episode promises to explore both Severide’s struggle and the unfolding challenges at Firehouse 51.

At 10/9c, Chicago P.D. presents "Born Screaming," focusing on the fallout from the November cliffhanger. The story picks up with Hank Voight and his team working to close the Raymond Bell case, while the suspense over officer Eva Imani’s perilous circumstances is finally addressed. This episode aims to resolve lingering questions that have had fans deeply invested for nearly two months.

The entire night of One Chicago premieres will air weekly on NBC and stream the following day on Peacock. Viewers can enjoy new episodes every Wednesday, creating a single night dedicated to the interconnected stories of these Chicago-based dramas.

This Wednesday night lineup will continue uninterrupted right through the start of the Winter Olympics coverage, which begins with the opening ceremony on February 6. Until then, Windy City Wednesdays will deliver the combination of medical drama, firefighting action, and police procedural that has made One Chicago a consistent favorite among audiences.
