For those who thought essentially the most thrilling information out of NBC’s One Chicago world this week could be that the autumn finales are shortly approaching within the 2024 TV schedule, you might be comfortable to be improper! Chicago Fireplace, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med are reportedly set for the franchise’s very first three-show crossover since again in 2019. The information comes shortly after stars from the sequence advised CinemaBlend how far into the present seasons they’ve filmed for episodes that can air as a part of the 2025 TV schedule.
One Chicago’s Lengthy-Awaited Crossover
Whereas no one from NBCUniversal has confirmed the thrilling information on the time of writing, TVLine cites sources {that a} three-part, one-night crossover occasion is within the works for later within the 2024-2025 TV season. This may be One Chicago’s first for the reason that pre-pandemic three-parter that was about – of all issues – an an infection requiring quarantines in Chicago in late 2019. (You possibly can revisit the “An infection” crossover with a Peacock subscription now.)
In line with the outlet, the storyline would contain an workplace constructing explosion large enough to have an effect on the whole metropolis each under and above floor. That already sounds just like the sort of disaster that actually would require the providers of firefighters, cops, and medical professionals!
That mentioned, Deadline experiences (additionally through sources) that one single storyline has not been settled on with any particulars, which means that this crossover – if formally transferring ahead, as anticipated – remains to be within the very early planning phases. That is the primary information of a three-parter within the 2024-2025 TV season, though the Chicago Fireplace, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med showrunners revealed that they had a textual content thread to maintain their sequence aligned when talking with CinemaBlend early within the fall.
Extra just lately, I spoke with stars from all three exhibits, and so they shared how far forward they’ve filmed this season. Their feedback might give away a bit about this potential crossover, if we glance carefully.
What The Stars Informed Us About The 2024-2025 TV Season
I used to be lucky sufficient to talk with Chicago Fireplace‘s David Eigenberg about Herrmann’s path, Chicago P.D.‘s Benjamin Levy Aguilar about BTS enjoyable, and Chicago Med‘s Steven Weber about Archer’s powerful arc throughout NBC’s One Chicago press junket. The occasion occur earlier than information broke of the potential three-show crossover, and simply days earlier than the most recent episodes aired on November 13. I requested the three stars how far they’ve filmed of their respective seasons. First up, Eigenberg shared:
We’re taking pictures Episode 11, I imagine. I used to be out for a pair [episodes]. I snapped my Achilles tendon, so I received knocked out for a bit. It has been been a bizarre 12 months.
Filming Episode 11 in mid-November meant that the Fireplace staff has already shot a number of episodes past the upcoming fall finale, which would be the eighth installment of Season 13. David Eigenberg wasn’t dropping any fall finale spoilers, although, as he joked over Zoom:
You’d must be right here and break my arm to get something out of me!
I spoke subsequent with Benjamin Levy Aguilar, forward of an episode that may contain some undercover motion. He shared what Chicago P.D. has filmed:
We’re at the moment filming Episode 11, so we’re midway there.
Steven Weber was the third of the One Chicago stars I spoke with throughout NBC’s digital junket, and he commented on extra than simply Archer and Lenox’s breaking level. He mentioned this about what Chicago Med has shot:
We’re as much as, I need to say, Episode 10 or 11, so we have performed loads. About midway by.
Do these feedback shed any mild on an explosion that might rock the Windy Metropolis for a full evening of primetime in 2025? After all not, however all three exhibits filming their respective eleventh episodes signifies that Fireplace, P.D., and Med have remained in sync ever since beginning the brand new seasons with the identical time bounce. In idea, maybe that might make a crossover go a bit of extra easily behind the scenes.
With the scarcity of particulars about plans for the plot of a crossover, we are able to additionally fairly safely guess that the occasion would air significantly later in 2025 than Episode 11 of every present. If One Chicago returns to NBC’s lineup very early within the new 12 months like common, then Episode 11 possible airs in late January or early February for the reason that fall finales are every present’s eighth episode.
Mainly, if I used to be a betting girl, I would not predict a One Chicago crossover occasion any sooner than March, however solely time will inform. I did ask David Eigenberg the way it feels for him to return to a common 22-episode season after the shorter-than-usual Season 12, and he gave this response:
We now have a bizarre present as a result of we’re a bit of bit incestuous, in a loving work household sense. We have had powerful days when life happens and issues happen round us in all people’s lives which are onerous, however when it comes to the personalities, we genuinely actually like one another, so we chortle nearly all day. The those that run the set… when any individual new is available in, they’re like, ‘It is like herding cats.’ They usually must calm us down… as a result of we’re not a mopey set, and folks aren’t involved closely with their careers in a means that generally occurs within the business. We’re all there for one another. I used to be speaking to a bunch of individuals this morning about some life stuff occurring, and we simply care.
Sadly, followers are almost out of latest episodes for the remainder of the 12 months, and a three-parter hasn’t even been formally confirmed with any particulars but. The One Chicago fall finales air on Wednesday, November 20 beginning with Chicago Med at 8 p.m. ET, persevering with with Chicago Fireplace at 9 p.m. ET, and ending with Chicago P.D. at 10 p.m. ET, all on NBC.
You possibly can at all times revisit earlier crossovers throughout winter hiatus, although, with each episode of all three exhibits to date streaming on Peacock.
