After more than a decade on air, One Chicago remains one of NBC’s biggest Wednesday night franchises. The crossover episodes between Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med continue to attract huge audiences, with the most recent crossover event delivering the highest ratings of the season for all three shows while also generating massive social media engagement.

Beyond traditional television, all three series continue to perform strongly on Peacock, frequently ranking among the platform’s most-watched shows — proving that the One Chicago universe remains as popular as ever.
