Why There Is No New One Chicago Episodes Tonight (June 29, 2025)
The Franchise Is On Its Midseason Hiatus
Many NBC shows are taking their fall hiatuses now.One Chicagoaired its final episodes of 2024 on November 20, 2024and will not be back until 2025.

It usually occurs around the holidays to also give the cast and crew a chance to rest.
The network will likely air reruns at some point during the hiatus, though it will follow its Thanksgiving programming with itsChristmas in Rockefeller Centerspecial on December 4.

When Will New Episodes Of Chicago Fire Season 13, Chicago PD Season 12, & Chicago Med Season 10 Release?
All Three Shows Will Return In 2025

8 New Tandems We’re Excited To See In One Chicago’s New Crossover
The three One Chicago shows – Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, and Chicago Med – will join forces in a crossover in 2025, meaning many new duos are possible.
Although midseason breaks are frustrating, they’re standard for many scripted television series. Most shows produce 18 to 25 episodes per season; without this and other hiatuses, NBC would run out of episodes long before the season is supposed to wrap up in May. It makes sense to air holiday-themed programming and reruns between November and January and return to releasing new episodes after the New Year.
What To Expect From Chicago Fire Season 13, Chicago PD Season 12, & Chicago Med Season 10 When They Return
All Three Shows Will Likely Pick Up Where They Left Off

Doctors, rescue workers, and police officers often deal with life-and-death situations in these shows, and that can be expected to continue once the three series return from their hiatuses. In addition, the shows will have to resolve their cliffhangers, so their next new episodes should be even more exciting than usual.
