The One Chicago universe is a captivating smash, and as Chi-Hards keep coming back for more, One Chicago crossover episodes remain some of the most memorable moments in the franchise’s history.
How to Watch
Watch Chicago Fire Wednesdays at 9/8c on NBC and next day on Peacock.
Combining the casts of the flagship Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago P.D., One Chicago crossovers weave together the challenges of the city’s most dedicated rescuers, creating a pulse-pounding narrative. These episodes not only raise the bar for twists and turns, but deepen the bonds between fan favorites across each show. Firehouse 51 never hesitates to run into danger alongside P.D.’s Intelligence Unit, and they’d never discount the critical role the Chicago Med nurses and doctors play when the ash finally settles. Every so often, the going gets so tough that Law & Order: Special Victims Unit‘s Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) receives a call from Chicago for backup.
