NBC wasted no time in bringing the One Chicago world again to primetime early within the 2025 TV schedule, full with the long-awaited three-show crossover set for the top of the month. Plans for Chicago Med, Chicago Hearth, and Chicago P.D. in January have already modified, although, with the community pushing again the episodes of all three reveals that had been scheduled for January 15.
The delay is unlucky information for followers who had been hyped by the promos on the finish of the winter premieres, however Med star Steven Weber defined to CinemaBlend why he thinks the Avengers: Endgame-style crossover may have followers going “bananas,” and I am so prepared.
One Chicago’s Delayed Subsequent Episodes
The unique schedule for NBC on January 15 had new episodes of Chicago Med at 8 p.m. ET, Chicago Hearth at 9 p.m. ET, and Chicago P.D. at 10 p.m. ET as normal for this time of 12 months. The promos that aired after Med and P.D.‘s winter premieres on January 8 additionally promoted that the subsequent installments would air inside every week, though Hearth curiously did not have a promo.
The schedule on January 15 has presumably been shifted on account of President Biden’s farewell deal with, which can broadcast on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET. One Chicago reruns will then air the remainder of the night time, with new installments scheduled for January 22. A break was at all times scheduled forward of the crossover on January 29, so NBC delaying new episodes by every week will not truly change a lot aside from followers having to attend slightly longer for the follow-ups to the winter premieres.
Plus, there are some particulars accessible courtesy of the upcoming episode descriptions. The following Chicago Med episode known as “Damaged Hearts,” and followers can anticipate this from Gaffney subsequent week, per NBC:
A military of surgeons put together to separate conjoined twins. Hannah reconnects with somebody from her previous. Archer treats a tyrannical boss with a coronary heart drawback.
The preview for “Damaged Hearts” signifies that the individual Hannah will reconnect with might be her sister, so hopefully we’ll get some extra perception on the tragic backstory Hannah shared again in Season 8. As for Chicago Hearth‘s subsequent episode, this is what “Chaos Concept” has in retailer on January 22:
The crew responds to a disaster at a group heart. Severide is compelled to research one in every of his personal Squad members. Kidd helps a instructor going by a post-incident spin-out.
Contemplating how the earlier episode of Hearth ended, I feel it is a protected wager that Cruz is the Squad member who Severide should examine. Cruz himself was a lot much less enthusiastic concerning the return of the Flaco drawback than actor Joe Mińoso was in taking part in it! As for Chicago P.D., Ruzek and Burgess will seemingly be within the sizzling seat in “Zoe” as the subsequent new ep:
An sudden customer causes disruption for Ruzek and Burgess amidst an emotional investigation involving an unidentified younger woman.
Circumstances on Chicago P.D. are at all times sophisticated when children are concerned, and maybe extra so for Ruzek and Burgess after changing into mother and father to younger Makayla. It stays to be seen who this “sudden customer” might be, and whether or not the disruption will assist or hurt their investigation with Chief Reid nonetheless in Voight’s orbit. Ruzek was in fact a part of Kiana Prepare dinner’s massive storyline of the winter premiere.
Clearly all three reveals have lots in retailer earlier than the crossover kicks off on January 29, however that actually does not imply that followers cannot begin getting excited for what’s coming within the three-parter after feedback from one star.
Followers Will “Go Bananas” For The One Chicago Crossover
For Steven Weber, the upcoming three-parter – referred to as “In The Trenches” – might be his first One Chicago crossover occasion, as Dr. Archer did not be a part of Chicago Med as a person from Ethan’s previous till Season 6 in 2021. The “An infection” occasion aired again in 2019, simply months earlier than the COVID manufacturing shutdowns that may stop a crossover for the subsequent a number of seasons. (You’ll find that crossover streaming with a Peacock subscription.)
I had the chance to talk with Weber throughout NBC’s latest One Chicago winter press occasion, and requested what it is like for him to lastly have the ability to speak concerning the crossover after followers had been asking for one more one for therefore lengthy. He shared:
It is nice. It is type of a aid, and it was an important expertise to be part of. To start with, this crossover goes to make folks go bananas, in the perfect sense. That is the One Chicago model of Avengers: Endgame. This isn’t just a bit trace of, ‘Oh, there’s a health care provider, and he or she goes to be speaking to a police officer, and oh, there’s one of many guys from Hearth, and he is speaking to –’ No. It is a experience that is like an invasion. It is improbable.
One Chicago has executed loads of mini crossovers lately like what Weber alluded to, with a star from one present popping over for a cameo on one of many different reveals each on occasion. An Avengers: Endgame-esque occasion is a giant step up from these, and even perhaps from the three-parters that aired earlier than COVID. The actor went on:
Persons are going to be so thrilled as a result of all their favorites are there, and in numerous capacities, in fact. It has the general impact [that] it is like a three-hour thrill experience. It is like going to the One Chicago amusement park, and everyone will get cotton sweet and popcorn… they usually’re all happening this main experience. It was actually enjoyable, fantastically executed, and I had the time of my life.
Apparently, the period of time that handed between the “An infection” crossover and upcoming “In The Trenches” crossover has included a number of forged modifications, so quite a lot of stars from the 2024-2025 TV season have not been a part of one in every of these One Chicago occasions earlier than. Archer actually rises to fulfill crises on Med each week; will he have the ability to do the identical for a city-wide risk alongside the casts of Hearth and P.D.?
Discover out when the One Chicago crossover airs on NBC on Wednesday, January 29 beginning with Hearth at 8 p.m. ET as a substitute of Med. Earlier than the occasion, you’ll discover all three reveals again of their normal slots on January 29.
