NBC’s One Chicago TV shows are airing new episodes tonight (October 14) on the fan favorite peacock network!
The franchise consists of Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D., and all three air back-to-back on Wednesday evenings.
Each season, however, fans always worry about casting changes and cast shakeups – and for good reason.

Now, as the NBC shows look to kick off once again in the fall, we’re learning about casting shakeups that have already happened.
Two stars from Chicago Fire are exiting, and one from both Chicago Med and Chicago P.D. will not return. In addition, there’s another piece of Chicago Fire shakeup news to share.
