NBC‘s One Chicago franchise has set its first crossover episodes in five years.
The three-part event will air on Jan. 29 beginning at 8 p.m. Though “Chicago Med” typically kicks off the network’s Wednesday night lineup, “Chicago Fire” will be the first show of the night, followed by “Chicago Med” at 9 p.m. and “Chicago P.D.” at 10 p.m.
The official logline for the crossover reads, “When a gas explosion rocks a high-rise, Chicago’s first responders come out in force to rescue hundreds of civilians. It’s the calamity beneath the surface, however, that sends our heroes on a race to save 40 people trapped deep underground, including two of their own.”
The last time the three Dick Wolf-produced series overlapped was in October 2019. Titled “Infection,” those episodes followed a flesh-eating disease that spread throughout Chicago.
“Putting together what is essentially a three-hour action movie is an incredibly ambitious task requiring complete coordination across our writers, casts, crews and producers, along with help from the city of Chicago,” said Anastasia Puglisi, executive vice president of Wolf Entertainment and co-executive producer of all three series. “We’re thrilled to have the best talent in every department to meet this challenge, reinforce the #OneChicago brand and provide our fans with a unique and compelling viewing experience.”
The cast of “Chicago Med” includes S. Epatha Merkerson, Oliver Platt, Steven Weber, Marlyne Barrett, Jessy Schram, Luke Mitchell, Sarah Ramos and Darren Barnet. Along with Wolf, executive producers include Allen MacDonald, Stephen Hootstein and Peter Jankowski.
“Chicago Fire” stars Taylor Kinney, Dermot Mulroney, David Eigenberg, Miranda Rae Mayo, Joe Miñoso, Christian Stolte, Daniel Kyri, Hanako Greensmith, Jake Lockett and Jocelyn Hudon. Wolf executive produces alongside Jankowski as well as Andrea Newman, Reza Tabrizi and Matt Whitney.
“Chicago P.D.” stars Jason Beghe, Patrick John Flueger, Marina Squerciati, LaRoyce Hawkins, Amy Morton, Benjamin Levy Aguilar and Toya Turner. Wolf and Jankowski executive produce with Beghe, Gwen Sigan, Rick Eid, Chad Saxton and Gavin Harris.
Universal Television produces One Chicago in association with Wolf Entertainment.
