[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 438532, member: 19949"] Are you a fan of the Chicago franchise, called One Chicago? When Chicago Fire premiered on NBC in the fall of 2012, it didn't look like it would be a big hit; the first season only reached number 51 in the ratings. When the series climbed into the top 40 the following season, producer Dick Wolf decided to create a spin-off called Chicago P.D., which premiered in January 2014 and performed similarly to the parent show. This led to another spin-off, Chicago Med, in 2015. The three series aired on different nights, and the same was true for the fourth series: Chicago Justice, which premiered on Sunday nights in March 2017. However, its ratings lagged behind the three other Chicago series, which had by then become solid top 30 performers, so Chicago Justice was canceled after 13 episodes. In the following season (2017-2018), Chicago Fire was given a new timeslot (Thursday 10:00 p.m.), during which ratings dipped slightly, leading NBC to fear that the Chicago franchise might have peaked. Therefore, starting in September 2018, NBC aired the entire Chicago franchise, henceforth known as One Chicago, on Wednesday nights. This decision proved to be the right one for the ratings: all three Chicago shows have consistently ranked in the top 20 ever since, with Chicago Fire even managing to stay in the top 10 for five consecutive seasons. It's highly likely that One Chicago will continue for a long time, and so the official renewal announcement comes as no surprise: [URL unfurl="true"]https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/chicago-fire-chicago-pd-chicago-med-renewed-nbc-2-1236701747/[/URL] Because the three Chicago series air on the same night, crossovers have become more frequent, and efforts have been made to ensure that viewers see all three series by having characters from one series interact with, be related to, or be involved with someone from another series.

Is there a Chicago series you like more than the others? Who are your favorite characters? [/QUOTE]
