The “One Chicago” franchise continues to perform very well for NBC in the ratings. Despite airing late on a weeknight, Chicago PD was the network’s third-highest-rated scripted series last season. Is it possible that the show could still be cancelled, or is it essentially guaranteed to be renewed for a 12th season? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A police procedural drama series, the Chicago PD TV show stars Jason Beghe, Patrick John Flueger, Marina Squerciati, LaRoyce Hawkins, and Amy Morton. This TV show follows the personal and professional lives of the men and women of the Chicago Police Department’s elite Intelligence Unit. They combat the city’s most heinous offenses including organized crime, drug trafficking, and high-profile murders. Detective Sgt. Hank Voight (Beghe) is at the center of the department’s war on crime and he’ll do anything to bring criminals to justice. The series also features crossovers with Chicago Med and Chicago Fire.
