Last season, NBC aired 15 scripted series and, for one reason or another, only nine of them are expected to return this season -- and five of them are produced by Dick Wolf. How many NBC shows will be cancelled or renewed by the end of the 2024-25 TV season? Stay tuned.

NBC shows this season (so far): The Americas, Brilliant Minds, Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, Chicago Pd, Dateline NBC, Deal or No Deal Island, Found, Grosse Pointe Garden Society, Happy's Place, The Hunting Party, The Irrational, Law & Order, Law & Order: Svu, Lopez vs Lopez, Night Court, St. Denis Medical, Suits LA, and The Voice.

There's lots of data that NBC execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but the ratings are typically the biggest piece. Here's how the network's 2023-24 TV shows are...

The latest episode of “Chicago Fire,” titled “In the Rubble,” promises to deliver an emotional and gripping story. Set to air on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, at 9:00 Pm on NBC, this episode dives deep into the challenges faced by the characters at Firehouse 51. With a title like “In the Rubble,” it hints at both physical and emotional struggles that will unfold.

In this episode, Pascal finds himself in a tough situation as he searches for justice amidst adversity. His journey will likely resonate with many, showcasing the determination and resilience that firefighters often embody. Viewers can expect to see how he navigates the complexities of his quest, possibly facing obstacles that test his strength and resolve.

Meanwhile, Violet is grappling with her own challenges as she tries to write a letter to Carver. This personal struggle adds a layer of depth to her character, highlighting the emotional toll that comes with the job.

We get why Christopher Herrmann (David Eigenberg) didn't get promoted to Chief when Wallace Boden (Eamonn Walker) left Firehouse 51. The character didn't have the experience needed to do the job, nor did he really spend the time to prepare to take on such a responsibility.

It was slightly disappointing to see him get earmarked for the gig, only to have an outside, Chief Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney), come in, but the more time has passed, the more we understand why. We think the character is ready to embark on the next chapter of his career, though.

In season 13, Herrmann has taken more of a leadership role in the firehouse. He not only passed the captain exam, which is a huge feather in his cap, but he has worked directly under Pascal,...

Dr. Jake Heller has been a hero in the Fox medical drama Doc, whether it's saving the lives of patients or standing by his girlfriend Dr. Amy Larsen. But that might be about to change in the Season 1 finale -- because Jake doesn't know that Amy was kissing her ex-husband. And as a massive emergency hits Westside Hospital, it's a terrible time for him to find that out.

In an interview with Cbr, actor Jon Ecker teased how Episode 9's closing scene may affect Jake's feelings toward both Amy and Dr. Michael Hamda, who also happens to be Jake's boss. He also spoke about where the dynamic between Jake and Dr. Sonya Maitra might go, and what he wants to uncover about Dr. Jake Heller as a person. Plus, learn about his favorite moments from Doc Season 1 so far.

Cbr: What was it about the idea of Doc or the character of Dr.

There are some great NBC shows still on the bubble. That’s nothing too major to worry about just yet, as we’re only into March. NBC has a habit of waiting until closer to the May Upfronts to make some final decisions.

However, with so many shows on the bubble, we can look at the ones likely to be renewed and canceled. While NBC doesn’t only just rely on the linear ratings, this is usually a strong indication as to whether a show will get another chance.

Something I do want to point out is that Friday and Sunday linear ratings tend to be lower than other nights, and that is something that needs to be considered when look at the ratings to determine which NBC shows could be canceled.

NBC shows likely canceled: Grosse Pointe Garden Society, Lopez vs. Lopez, and more

I hate to put this new series on the list,...

There has been a lot of change going on at Firehouse 51 this season on Chicago Fire but one former member of the 51 family might soon be making their way back to the firehouse in a more regular capacity.

As revealed in the synopsis for Chicago Fire season 13, episode 16, “In the Rubble,” Damon will be looking to make his way back to 51 following his exit from the firehouse earlier this season. The synopsis teases that Damon heads back to the floater pool with his hope being to secure a permanent spot at 51 and honestly the timing makes perfect sense.

Early in the season, we saw Damon getting put back into the floater pool after tensions rose at 51 with Damon stepping out of line by trying to make a name for himself. Damon eventually landed at another firehouse and things seemed to be going well, but this storyline resulted in him missing...

Chicago Fire fans get a treat this spring.

Boden is returning to the show for the first time in Season 13.

Actor Eamonn Walker exited the show as a full-time cast member during the Season 12 finale.

Never Say Goodbye was Walker’s final installment, ending a long and successful run.

Chicago Fire fans miss his character — Chief Wallace Boden — and many hope he will return to take back Firehouse 51.

In Boden’s stead, Chief Dom Pascal entered the picture. Dermot Mulroney plays Chief Pascal, and the character is much different in leading than Boden.

Boden returns to Chicago Fire

Deputy Commissioner Wallace Boden is featured on the April 16 episode of Chicago Fire.

That night features Chicago Fire Season 13, Episode 18 at 9/8c on NBC.

This sounds like a one-off, providing fans an episode centered on Boden while showcasing that the character still works for the Chicago Fire Department.

Actor Shawn Hatosy has teased some intriguing Chicago P.D. spoilers.

Hatosy joined the Chicago P.D. cast as new Deputy Chief Charlie Reid.

Reid was suspicious from the jump, often knowing things about Hank Voight and his team that were supposed to be secrets.

Reid also knew Officer Dante Torres (played by Benjamin Levy Aguilar) had a romantic relationship with a confidential informant (Gloria Perez).

Detective Kim Burgess helped cover for Torres. Later, Voight covered for Torres and Burgess.

Reid revealed to Voight that he knew but brushed it off so they could be “friends” moving forward.

Reid finally called in those favors on Voight during the most recent episode. And Voight has been compromised.

“Reid has a scene with a vulnerable Torres, and he asks him to do something, which he then does,” Shawn Hatosy revealed.

Chicago Fire has been on another hiatus, but new episodes are coming.

We have only seen the first 15 episodes of Chicago Fire Season 13, meaning seven are left to debut.

The writers killed off an important character during the latest episode. It will have many repercussions later this spring.

As a reminder, Chief Dom Pascal’s wife died. Dermot Mulroney plays the new chief on the Chicago Fire cast.

KaDee Strickland played Monica Pascal, and the character died in a car accident.

Dom was called to the hospital, but he arrived too late. A saddened Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith) greeted him with the bad news written all over her face.

Moving forward, the fallout from Monica’s death will gravely impact the rest of the Chicago Fire season.

What is the Chicago Fire return date for Season 13?

The next new episode of Chicago Fire debuts on Wednesday, March 26. It’s only...

The US Golf Association has let its exclusive negotiating window with NBCUniversal expire without a deal.

NBC and Peacock may have a little less golf to offer in the coming years. NBCUniversal had been in an exclusive negotiating window with the U.S. Golf Association (Usga) until December, but that window lapsed without a new deal being made. Now, Usga rights will head to the open market, where they could draw interest from a number of streaming platforms.

Key Details: The Usga rights package includes the U.S. Open and more. The two could revive their partnership if the Usga doesn’t get more compelling offers. Netflix could be a logical destination for at least some Usga events. Sign Up $7.99+ / month peacocktv.com

NBCU’s current deal to offer Usga championship events expires in 2025. The two sides engaged in a 90-day exclusive negotiation period, but that expired on Dec. 31 without a new agreement being made.

The extension is worth $3 billion, and includes two additional Olympic games.

The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris were a huge win for NBC. Not only did the channel draw more than 30 million viewers to the Games, it also saw audiences around the world stream them for a combined 23.5 billion minutes. The International Olympic Committee (Ioc) was certainly pleased by the results, as it has agreed to an extension of the broadcast deal between it and Comcast — NBCUniversal’s parent company — that will keep the games on the company’s platforms through 2036.

Key Details: The extension includes the 2034 Winter Games in Utah, and the 2036 Summer Games. The deal is reportedly worth $3 billion. NBC will continue to offer every event of the Olympics on Peacock. Sign Up $7.99+ / month peacocktv.com

The new deal between the Ioc and NBCU will extend the already decades-old relationship between the Olympics and the network for at least another decade,...

Based on the novel of the same name, “Long Bright River” features Amanda Seyfried in an all-new on-screen uniform for the Emmy-winning actress.

Seyfried stars as Mickey Fitzpatrick, a Philly beat cop dedicated to solving the mysterious murders targeting young women on the Avenue, many of whom struggle with addiction and turn to sex work to survive. While other men on the force are quick to categorize them as overdoses, Mickey sees something they do not.

The eight-episode limited series attempts to solve both a murder mystery and a family one. As Mickey pieces together evidence to solve the murder mystery, she unveils memories from her own past.

Seyfried stars in the series alongside Nicholas Pinnock, John Doman and Dash Mihok. For a full breakdown on all of the cast of the Peacock series, keep reading.

All episodes of “Long Bright River” are available to stream on Peacock.

Amanda Seyfried in “Long Bright River.

“The White Lotus” was a surprise hit when it first arrived back in 2021, offering viewers a look at luxury travel while many remained stuck at home deep into the Covid-19 pandemic.

Now well into its third season, “The White Lotus” is a certified hit series, sitting atop the Samba TV Weekly Wrap Report’s streaming chart for the third consecutive week.

The multi-week run at the top of the chart puts “The White Lotus” in the illustrious company of Max’s gigantic IP titles like “House of the Dragon,” “The Penguin,” and “Dune: Prophecy.” Not bad for a show written entirely by just one person, creator Mike White.

The show following “The White Lotus” is another rare thing in TV, as it is both the product of an IP juggernaut and from the mind of a single creator. That show is “1923” on Paramount+. The western series is one of many...

Something is in the air right now. Networks have taken an axe and decided to cut down several shows that otherwise looked primed for renewal. CBS has been the biggest culprit in this regard. It has taken down two of its FBI spinoffs, FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International.

CBS has also canceled Swat, despite bringing it back from the dead twice. Did we mention that fans are still irate over the network's decision to end Blue Bloods, despite the fact that a spinoff is in the works? Cancelations have been all the rage over the last few weeks, and One Chicago shows are off the air for the next few weeks. Should we be worried? Could our beloved franchise be next?

Stellaride are set to be parents! It's a wonderful development in the lives of the married couple, and one that will greatly shift their priorities as people. Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) and Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) have always placed an emphasis upon their careers.

Now, they will be tasked with emphasizing the lives of a small child. The actors who play Kidd and Severide have been mostly quiet on the matter, but Miranda Rae Mayo finally broke her silence in a recent interview with Us Weekly. She broke down what fans can expect from a Stellaride parenting arc, and how the duo will go about their newfound duties.

I’m sorry, but Chicago Med has a couple problem that can’t be ignored anymore.

As much as I complained about Will and Natalie back in the day, I’d take ten episodes centered around them over one Mitch and Hannah story.

They’re not the only couple on Chicago Med, but they seem to be the only one to get decent stories, and the other couples don’t get much, either.

The best speed skaters in the world will compete this weekend in two separate world championship events. The 2025 Isu World Speed Skating Championships will take place in Norway while the Isu World Short Track Championships will happen in China. Fortunately for winter sports fans, they won’t need to have a jet on standby to catch all of the action, because Peacock will have full coverage of both events beginning on Thursday, March 13 at 1 p.m. Et. Additionally, CNBC will air four hour-long highlight shows to recap the action over the weekend.

Chicago Fire is full of married couples. A lot of the veteran characters have tied the knot at some point over the show's thirteen seasons. There are precious few that are single, but we are starting to think there may be something brewing with Lyla Novak (Jocelyn Hudon).

The medic has tried to keep the details about her past under wraps, but there is something going on between her and Jack Damon (Michael Bradway), a firefighter who recently returned to the show after getting booted from 51.

The dramatic series sees Seyfried embody a police officer trying to do her best in one of Philadelphia’s roughest neighborhoods.

It’s hard enough to be a police officer on the mean streets of Philadelphia, as Amanda Seyfried’s character Mickey knows all too well in “Long Bright River.” The suspenseful series premieres on Peacock on Thursday, March 13, and sees Seyfried’s character on the trail of a series of murders that connect far more closely to her past than she ever thought possible. You can watch the series with a subscription to Peacock.

Tom Cavanagh cemented himself as one of the key elements in The Flash’s success throughout its 9-season run. Now, the actor is making his way to the CBS procedural, FBI, as a major character’s spouse.

Per TV Line, Cavanagh has been cast as Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille’s husband, Phillip. Isobel Castille is played by Alana de la Garza, who is a crime procedural veteran, having appeared in four seasons of Law & Order as well as its spinoffs like Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, as well as CSI: Miamias Horatio Caine’s wife. Fans, and even some of the show’s cast, didn’t know that her character had a husband, so the casting news came as a big surprise to all.

Cavanagh spent nearly a decade playing a variety of roles on the most popular of The CW’s Arrowverse lineup. Really, they...

One Chicago went big in 2025. It had six years since the franchise brought all three of its titles together for a singular narrative event, but "In the Trenches" proved to be worth the wait. It was a delight to see the characters interact, and to save lives on a citywide scale that, frankly, they don't usually need to.

Because there are three episodes, and three shows, with their specific narrative requirements, we decided to break down "In the Trenches" and determine which part of the story worked best, and which fell short a bit. We like them all, but here's always going to be one hour chunk in a crossover that plays better than others. Here we go, from worst to best.

It's officially confirmed by NBC that they're not airing the next, new episode 16 of Chicago Med's current season 10 tonight, March 12, 2025, and next Wednesday night, March 19. We're not sure why, but we do have an air date for the new episode 16. According to NBC's official episode 16 press release, they plan to finally air it on Wednesday night, March 26, 2025 in its usual, 7 pm central standard time slot. So, definitely be on the lookout for the new episode 16 to show up on that very important date. As for tonight and next Wednesday night, TV Guide is telling us exactly what NBC is going to air instead of a new Chicago Med episode. Tonight, they're going to air a repeat episode of Chicago Fire. It will be the 11th episode for its current season 13 titled, "In the Trenches: Part I."...

It really seemed as though Joe Cruz (Joe Minoso) had crossed the point of no return. The character had jeopardized his career, his family, and his future as a free man because of a decision he made in season one. Thankfully, he got out of it with a suspension and a slap on the wrist.

Part of the reason Cruz was able to avoid disaster was because he had Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) in his corner. The two men have had their differences over the years, but Severide advised him and helped ensure that the firefighter would fight to see another day. And we think Cruz has repaid the favor offscreen.

Fans of the One Chicago franchise won’t be happy that there are no new episodes of the fan fave shows – Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, or Chicago Pd tonight (March 12).

As fans of the shows know, they air every Wednesday night on NBC during the TV season.

Keep reading to find out more…

However, both tonight and next week, they are off. Why? It’s simply scheduled re-run dates in the lineup. Each season has a specific number of episodes, and there are re-run Wednesdays sprinkled throughout. All three shows will be back with new episodes on Wednesday (March 26).

NBC has, so far, renewed several big TV shows so far this year. Be sure to find out what is returning in the 2025-2026 season.

Chicago Fire also has a big cast update happening for a future episode.

Chicago Fire struck a pretty compelling balance during the episode "Too Close." A lot of the attention went toward Chief Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney), and the tragic death of his wife. The second most important developement in the episode, though, was the confirmation that Stellaride are going to be parents.

The couple were told at the episode's onset that they have been approved for adoption. It's a thrilling revelation, but one that Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) and Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) have been reluctant to share given Pascal's grim news. Don't worry, though, there will be plenty of time to gush over the Stellaride baby in upcoming episodes.

Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. are on hiatus again.

Another long break has arrived, covering most of March for the hit dramas.

New Med, Fire, and P.D. episodes debuted on March 5. The night featured some intense drama.

Chicago Fire killed off an important character, setting the tone for upcoming episodes.

Chicago Med almost killed off a main character as well, treating fans to a small crossover with Fire.

The latest Chicago P.D. episode put Hank Voight in a tough spot. Now Voight is under the thumb of his new boss.

One Chicago hiatus at NBC

The One Chicago crossover event is being shown again on Wednesday, March 12.

While the event was exciting, there were no new episodes.

NBC also has an opening on Wednesday, March 19. Med, Fire, and P.D. remain on hiatus until the last Wednesday of the month.

When do Med, Fire, and P.D.

Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati) is in an interesting spot. The tenth season of Chicago Pd will go down as one of the character's most important, between her promotion to detective and wedding to Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger), but in truth, she hasn't had much to do.

The character has spent most of the season in supporting character mode, whether it be during the One Chicago crossover event or the storyline involving Ruzek's dad, Bob (Jack Coleman). Thankfully this will change in the March 26 episode of Chicago Pd.

Burgess' Ptsd seemingly resurfaces

The promo for the episode sees Burgess take lead on a crime that takes place at her favorite diner. She recognizes the victims as fellow regulars at the diner, but struggles to determine what the cause could have been or who the culprit could be. "You notice a lot, Kim, you just have to remember," Adam Ruzek tells her.

CBS canceled FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted last week, and fans are now wondering if NBC could swoop in and save the two TV shows from cancellation.

It’s not the norm for other networks to save canceled content from their competitors. It has happened though. 9-1-1 moved from Fox to ABC, and ABC also picked up American Idol when it was axed.

The reason fans think this could happen is because the FBI dramas are from Dick Wolf, who has ties to both CBS (with the FBI franchise), as well as NBC (with the One Chicago shows and Law & Order shows).

However, there’s another side to this that makes it seem unlikely.

Keep reading to find out more…

One reason fans think NBC would not be able to save those two shows is the network already has a full schedule. They have Chicago Wednesdays with Chicago Fire,...

Wednesday nights are One Chicago Night. We settle in for a night of first responder drama, starting with Chicago Med. There’s some bad news when it comes to episodes tonight, Wednesday, March 12.

There isn’t a new episode of Chicago Med tonight, and it’s not alone. There won’t be a new episode of any of the three shows. NBC needs to put a break in the schedule to spread out the remaining episodes for the season to ensure the finales air in May. This also allows time for episodes to film and get through post-production, so they’re ready for us.

In some good news, there is a rerun of the series on tonight, but it’s at the slightly later time of 9 p.m. Et/Pt. You will still want to tune in from the start of primetime,...

We start off with some bad news about Chicago Fire tonight, Wednesday, March 12. There isn’t a new episode of the series. The entire One Chicago lineup is off for the next couple of weeks.

This is purely a scheduling need. Once again, we’re at that point in the season where there are more weeks to fill than available episodes. The networks know that they need to space out the new episodes, or they need to delay the returns in January. While ABC opted to delay a few shows, NBC brought shows back as soon as possible, and that means more weeks off now.

What’s on tonight instead of Chicago Fire?

Well, we start with the first bit of good news. While there isn’t a new episode of the series, there is a rerun of Chicago Fire. You’ll want to tune in at 8 p.m. Et/Pt instead,...

Chicago Fire might not be the only blaze on NBC’s primetime lineup.

The network is developing a drama series based on Candice Fox’s 2023 novel Fire With Fire, which would star This Is Us alum Jon Huertas. According to our sister site Deadline, which first reported the project, Huertas will also executive-produce alongside The Rookie creator Alexi Hawley, while onetime Arrow co-showrunner Wendy Mericle will write the script.

Kidd and Severide’s adoption storyline isn’t the first time that this has been done in Chicago Fire. However, Cruz and Herrmann seemed to forget about the first time.

During Chicago Fire season 13, episode 15, Kidd and Severide met with the case worker about getting approved as adoptive parents. It was a nervous time for the two of them, and Cruz and Herrmann ended up getting involved due to their mistake when it came to a video call still potentially connected.

The two decided to go see the case worker in person and explain the situation. While their visit wasn’t necessary in the end, it was something that helped Kidd and Severide get the good news they needed. However, the two seemed to forget that Cruz isn’t the first person at the firehouse to go the adoption route.

An Og Chicago Fire character is back, and we cannot wait. The only downside is that it’s just for a temporary storyline rather than full time.

Chief Boden is back. Actually, it’s Deputy Commission Boden now! At the end of season 12, Boden opted for a promotion, which took him to HQ rather than keep his office at Firehouse 51. When the exit was announced, there was the promise that it wouldn’t be forever, and that with Boden at HQ, it would open the door for his return when the story and schedules allowed.

Everything has now aligned. It’s just in time as well, considering the grief Chief Pascal is going to face in the coming episodes.

When will Boden return in Chicago Fire?

Tracker as a series is far from light, but some cases take on a much more sinister tone than others and this one was about as sinister as it gets.

Colter was on the hunt for a missing mother, and the person who took her was decapitating victims, which meant time was truly of the essence.

(Sergei Bachlakov/CBS)

The missing person’s case of Alice Bear was odd from the start, considering the mother put her son to sleep and then just vanished in the middle of the night.

Did she run off? Was she taken? Or was it something else entirely?

All Tracker cases typically start one way and end up somewhere else, and this was no exception, as preliminary findings had Colter believing maybe Alice’s disappearance had something to do with a date gone wrong or even drug addiction.

It doesn't come more lovable than Mouch (Christian Stolte) on Chicago Fire. He's one of the most consistent members of Firehouse 51, and his steady presence has helped to save countless lives over the last 13 seasons. 2025 has been a particularly rough period for the firefighter, though, and the latest batch of episodes has proved it.

Let's start with the One Chicago crossover. Mouch got into a spat with his wife, Chicago Pd standout Trudy Platt (Amy Morton), only to discover her gunned down during a chase. The character rushed to her side in the hospital, and was forced to stand by as she flatlined and came back multiple times. It's a devastating crossover to watch from his perspective, and one we thought would serve as an outlier for the Mouch stories to come.

The character was absolutely horrified to learn that his estranged wife had perished the very same night they were scheduled to have an anniversary dinner. It was a gut punch to end all gut punches, but it's something Chicago Fire showrunner Andrea Newman felt was important for the show.

NBC’s nature series The Americas has struck a chord with viewers since it premiered last month.

Nature series excel when they have visionary storytellers narrating the events.

The Americas has Tom Hanks’ engaging personality at its core, and it’s elevated the first four episodes.

The Americas has awe-inspiring visuals that set it apart from some of the other series in the genre.

It’s clear a lot of care and consideration went into crafting the series, and all of the vital ingredients come together on-screen very well.

The Way Home Season 3 Finale Beautifully Answers Questions...

This week’s Samba TV Weekly Wrap Report presents an interesting juxtaposition. The Oscars telecast, on Sunday, March 2, was far and away the most-watched linear program of the week, with 13.1 million households tuning in. While that celebration of movies drew massive viewership, the nominated movies themselves were not big draws over on streaming, where many are currently available across a variety of services.

During the weekend of the Oscars, Feb. 28 to March 2, the most-viewed Best Picture nominee was “A Complete Unknown,” was seen in 182,000 households, likely aided by its Feb. 25 launch on VOD. Meanwhile, eventual Best Picture winner “Anora” was seen in 82,000 households, placing it fifth among the nine nominees.

Now, many of these films may have been seen in theatres during their initial release, and some can expect a bump in the weeks to come. But the main story on streaming this week is TV series, which hold eight of the 10 spots.

“Too Close,” this week’s Chicago Fire, didn’t pull any punches, delivering a potent cocktail of joy and grief, underlining just how quickly life at Firehouse 51 can turn on a dime. While Severide and Kidd celebrated a milestone in their adoption journey, Chief Pascal’s world was shattered by an unexpected tragedy. The episode also turned […]

Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 15 Recap: “Too Close”...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 15 “Too Close.”] Firehouse 51 has just suffered a devastating loss, especially for its chief, Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney). The latest Chicago Fire ended with the heartbreaking death of Pascal’s wife Monica (Kadee Strickland), in a car accident, as he waited for her in a restaurant for their anniversary dinner. The house responded to the call, but by the time Pascal got to the hospital, it was too late. Elsewhere in the episode leading into a brief hiatus (the show returns on March 26), Pascal urged Mouch (Christian Stolte) to think about his future as a lieutenant possibly away from 51 — the plan is for Herrmann (David Eigenberg) to become chief, but the man currently holding that position doesn’t seem so sure he wants it — and Severide (Taylor Kinney) and Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) were approved to become adoptive parents. Below, showrunner Andrea Newman answers our burning questions...

We're all excited for Wallace Boden (Eamonn Walker) to return to Chicago Fire. We have been waiting all season for the beloved former 51 chief to pop back up, and we were starting to fear that we would have to wait until season 14 to see him again.

We aren't here to talk about Boden, though. We did that here. We're here to talk about another former 51 member who is going through some professional turmoil at the moment. A character who left the firehouse until less than stellar circumstances, but has made huge improvements.

When the trailer for this week's episode of Chicago Fire was released, it was abundantly clear that tragedy was around the corner for Firehouse 51. While the preview hinted at it, it only became conclusive after Season 13, Episode 15, "Too Close," aired on Wednesday. Unfortunately, Chief Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney) loses his wife, Monica (portrayed by KaDee Strickland), to a nasty car accident. Chicago Fire is set to embark on a mini-hiatus, and when the show returns on March 26, audiences will get to see how Pascal is handling this loss. Ahead of the episode titled, "In the Rubble," NBC has released a sneak peek teasing the state of affairs.

It’s bad news for One Chicago fans, as NBC has made it clear that the three shows are taking some time off. There will not be a new episode on Wednesday, March 12, and fans will want to know when the shows return.

In some good news, there will be some reruns. Next Wednesday, March 12, will see a rerun of the three-way crossover event. This means that Chicago Fire will air first again, and we’ll get a chance to relive the horror of some of our favorite characters’ lives on the line. The details of the rerun after that haven’t been shared just yet.

When will the One Chicago shows return to NBC?

This break is a little longer than the last couple we’ve had. It’s a two-week break, with all three shows confirmed to return on Wednesday, March 26. This was in all the promos for...

The following contains major spoilers from Chicago Med Season 13, Episode 15, "Down in a Hole," which debuted Wednesday, March 5 on NBC.

Chicago Med Season 10, Episode 15, "Down in a Hole" feels like a relief, because it seems to end the show's most frustrating storyline. The NBC medical drama diverts from normal by moving most of its action outside Gaffney Chicago Medical Center, and succeeds in creating lots o tension. But what's most important is its use of character -- including one from Chicago Fire.

"Down in a Hole" is the brainchild of Chicago Med showrunner Allen MacDonald, and most viewers will be able to guess quickly which real life situation the plot is based on. But the medicine is actually secondary in this case; in fact, there are only two patients of the week, both tied to the same case. MacDonald is primarily focused on getting Dr. Mitch Ripley out of a proverbial hole,...
