More news from One Chicago

After the long winter hiatus, the One Chicago dramas are returning on the evening of Wednesday, January 4. It will have been nearly a month since any new episodes have aired on NBC, so fans are definitely looking forward to this day on the calendar.

Each of the shows has some drama to address, including that shocker at the end of the Chicago Med fall finale. It will lead to the show going in a new direction for the time being.

Actor Brian Tee, who played Dr. Ethan Choi on Chicago Med, has moved on to other projects following the big wedding that just took place. Brian and Nicole Kidman star in a new show that will debut in the coming year.

There is also a lot of drama coming to Chicago Fire, especially with the storyline revolving around that villain.

And on the winter premiere for Chicago P.D., a new actor has joined the show, with his character coming from Ruzek’s past.

Previous episodes from Chicago Med Season 8 are available for streaming on Peacock. So far, the first nine episodes from the 2022-2023 television season have debuted.

Chicago Med airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC.
