One Chicago 2025: Cast Comebacks, Episode Reductions & Major Plot Teases

Chicago Fire‘s Taylor Kinney, Miranda Rae Mayo and Dermot Mulroney have all inked deals to return for Season 14 of the flagship firefighter drama; Chicago P.D.‘s Jason Beghe has re-upped for Season 13 of the police procedural; and Chicago Med’s S. Epatha Merkerson and Oliver Platt will scrub back in for Season 11 of the medical offshoot.

What’s more, our sister site Deadline reports that all three Dick Wolf shows will produce 21 episodes next season — each down one episode from their 2024-25 season orders. As an additional cost-cutting measure, most (if not all) cast members will sit out a couple of those 21 episodes.
