Fans of the One Chicago franchise are in for a major treat this season as Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. are gearing up for a highly anticipated crossover event. According to Deadline, scheduled to air in a special three-hour block, the upcoming event promises explosive action, heart-pounding drama and emotional twists.”
According to an exclusive report from TVLine, the crossover will center around a massive explosion at an office building that will ripple through the entire city—affecting its first responders and medical teams.
Deadline caught up with Chicago Med showrunner Allen MacDonald (CSI, 13 Reasons Why) to discuss the challenges of producing such an ambitious crossover. MacDonald acknowledged that while the desire for crossover has always been strong, logistical hurdles—like coordinating schedules between multiple casts—have made it a difficult endeavor. The challenges only grew when the pandemic halted production, followed by the recent actors’ and writers’ strike.
“We are always interested in doing crossovers, and I know the fans are always excited about it. While there’s no current plan, the conversation is ongoing,” MacDonald explained. “It’s complicated. Even though we all shoot on one lot, scheduling becomes a huge issue. The actors have to hop between sets, shooting scenes for multiple shows. And, of course, finding a storyline worthy of all three shows across three hours is no easy task,” he continued via Deadline.
While fans wait for the full details, one thing is clear: the event will be monumental for all three series.
Meanwhile, back in the halls of Chicago Med, fans are also buzzing over the possibility of a major shift for hospital administrator Sharon Goodwin (The Gabby Douglas Story, The Good Wife) as S. Epatha Merkerson. After years of unwavering professionalism and dedication to her team, Goodwin may finally take a personal step forward—one that could have a profound emotional impact on her character. Speculation is mounting that this season could see her tie the knot, a surprising but welcome development that would offer a refreshing change of pace for a character who’s long prioritized her work over her personal life.
As the season progresses, it seems viewers can expect a thrilling blend of high-octane action, complex storylines and deeply personal moments. Whether fans are tuning in for the explosive crossover or Goodwin’s long-awaited emotional evolution, this season promises something for everyone.
This event will be a must-watch for fans of the One Chicago franchise. NBC is bringing all three shows to fans’ screens for three hours of non-stop drama, making it the perfect time to catch up on the latest twists and turns.
