The One Chicago universe is set for a thrilling return to crossover events with a high-stakes, action-packed special scheduled for 2025. This upcoming crossover marks

a major event for Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago P.D., as the three shows unite for the first time since the unforgettable 2019 crossover, Infection.

The three-part special will air on January 29 and promises an intense, life-threatening rescue operation following a catastrophic train accident caused by a devastating gas explosion.

The Catastrophic Disaster

NBC’s teaser trailer offers a sneak peek into the chaos that unfolds during the crossover event.

The consequences of the explosion are far-reaching, and several beloved characters find themselves trapped in the wreckage, heightening the danger for everyone involved.

Chief Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney) and Lieutenant Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) take the lead in the rescue efforts, racing against time to save those caught in the wreckage as the building teeters on the edge of collapse. However, the danger intensifies when Kidd and Officer Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger) become trapped aboard the damaged train. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) is shown desperately trying to rescue his wife, Kidd, whose safety is his top priority. The emotional stakes are high as Severide’s worry and determination to save her deepen the tension of the situation.
