The temperature should still be scorching and the Dick Wolf Leisure motion within the Windy Metropolis should still be on repeat, however the weeks are counting down till the returns of NBC’s One Chicago exhibits within the 2025 TV schedule. The community had been airing reruns of all three exhibits on Wednesday nights over the summer time, and that may proceed as the autumn season approaches… for one of many exhibits, anyway. The Wednesday lineup is altering, and solely P.D. of the TV trio appears prone to proceed getting weekly reruns.
I’m usually recognized to tune in to One Chicago reruns whereas engaged on Wednesday nights, and it was a pleasant contact of consistency to maintain that typical primetime lineup going even over summer time hiatus. Now that America’s Bought Expertise has moved into the reside present portion of Season 20, nonetheless, it’s getting Med’s typical 8 p.m. ET time slot for the outcomes episode for the subsequent a number of weeks.
Hearth reruns are being changed within the 9 p.m. ET time slot, beginning on August 20 with Contained in the Worlds of Epic Universe airing as an alternative. At 10 p.m. ET, you’ll be able to nonetheless catch a rerun of Chicago P.D., with the Kiana Prepare dinner-centric “Title Picture Likeness” episode of Season 12 on August 20. I used to be a bit stunned to see that episode getting a repeat as fall approaches, with Toya Turner not returning as Kiana Prepare dinner in Season 13.
Seeing that “Title Picture Likeness” is the subsequent rerun, I made a decision it was time to do some math whereas the remainder of NBC’s summer time schedule. That was Episode 19 of Season 12, with simply three subsequent episodes earlier than hiatus kicked off again in Might. The community schedule has Chicago P.D. off on August 27, which means that even the cop drama gained’t be getting weekly reruns. Warning: It is all hypothesis from right here on.
Counting August 20, there are 5 Wednesdays left earlier than the October premiere, and NBC hasn’t launched the schedule for the 4 of them beginning in September simply but. If we assume that there shall be two Wednesdays with out repeats (which looks as if a secure wager since AGT will doubtless get all three hours for its finale on September 24 as typical), then P.D.’s reruns might completely align for the Season 12 finale with all of the metaphorical marriage ceremony bells ringing to be the final repeat of the summer time. Nothing has been confirmed, however my hopes are excessive.
So far as I’m involved, having a refresher on the finale that near the premiere can be nice. Curiously, Chicago Hearth is 4 episodes away from repeating its finale in comparison with P.D.‘s three, in order that drama could not make all of it the way in which to re-running the Season 13 conclusion earlier than Season 14 begins. Chicago Med did end its Season 10 collection of repeats on August 13 with the tear-jerking Season 10 finale.
This isn’t the primary time that Chicago P.D. has gotten extra reruns than Med or Hearth because of having the ten p.m. time slot, and it doesn’t counsel that NBC has misplaced religion in both of the 2 different exhibits. Plus, it’s not prefer it’s arduous to rewatch any episode from any of the three for anyone with a Peacock subscription. Nonetheless, as somebody who watches a lot of TV with a whole lot of finale tales to maintain monitor of, I’m undoubtedly crossing my fingers that the schedule does align for the P.D. finale rerun to air so near the premieres.
One Chicago returns this fall on Wednesday, October 1 on NBC, with Med at 8 p.m. ET, Hearth at 9 p.m. ET, and P.D. at 10 p.m. ET, as typical. Not one of the three ended final season on life-or-death cliffhangers like we’ve seen previously, however that definitely doesn’t imply that they don’t all have massive tales to proceed this fall.
