NBC Renews One Chicago Franchise and More: What's Next for Your Favorite Shows?
The One Chicago franchise continues to thrive on NBC, with Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med all receiving renewals for upcoming seasons. The network has yet to announce the schedule for the 2026-2027 season, but it is likely that the shows will continue to air on Wednesday nights. A recent crossover event on March 4 saw all three shows hitting season highs in total viewers, further solidifying their popularity and success.
In addition to the One Chicago shows, Happy's Place and St. Denis Medical have also been renewed for their respective seasons. However, there are still six NBC shows whose futures are uncertain, including long-running dramas Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU, as well as newer dramas like The Hunting Party and Brilliant Minds, and comedies such as The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins and Stumble.
Based on ratings and viewership, Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, and The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins seem to have better chances of renewal. The longevity of the first two shows also suggests the possibility of farewell season runs. On the other hand, The Hunting Party, Brilliant Minds, and Stumble face more uncertain prospects, especially with Brilliant Minds' delayed return for the final episodes of Season 2.
As fans eagerly anticipate the continuation of the current seasons and look forward to future seasons of the One Chicago shows, there is also excitement about potential crossovers and storylines. Share your thoughts and expectations for the upcoming seasons in the comments below.
