Last year, although the Chicago PD TV slipped a little bit in the ratings, it remained a top-five show for NBC. Can it hold steady in the fifth season? Will Chicago PD be cancelled or renewed for season six? Stay tuned. *See update below.
A police procedural from the Dick Wolf franchise, the Chicago PD stars Jason Beghe, Jon Seda, Jesse Lee Soffer, Patrick John Flueger, Marina Squerciati, Elias Koteas, LaRoyce Hawkins, Amy Morton, and Tracy Spiridakos. Mykelti Williamson recurs. The NBC drama centers on the men and women of the Chicago Police Department’s District 21, who pursue the perpetrators of major street crimes in the “Windy City.” Detective Sgt. Hank Voight (Beghe) is at the heart of the war on crime in Chicago and will do anything to bring criminals to justice.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/10 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
For comparisons: The fourth season of Chicago PD averaged a 1.37 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 6.536 million viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the Chicago PD TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a sixth season on NBC?
5/9/18 update: NBC has renewed Chicago PD for a sixth season for the 2018-19 season. Details here.
I love this show!! Should not be cancelled. Losing Erin+Jay storyline has definitely hurt the ratings, but still a great show especially Al.
I love the show! It should not be cancelled but Wiids should be written out of the show but cought killing him and dropping his body parts in the lake!
I couldn’t agree more!!!!!
I love this show! The acting is great. Can’t wait every week for each episode. If u gonna cancel shows cancel some of these reality shows
I love this show don’t cancel!!! I look forward to watching the new episodes.
Great show. Bring it back!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Bring Chicago PD for a 6th season. My kids and I LOVE Chicago PD and we never miss an episode. We binge watch the reruns on Oxygen, USA Network and even watch episodes on demand. Best show ever!!!
The television series has slipped i interest. The writing is predictable and the tongue rolling in Voight’s mouth along with the diminished role of the other detectives, is tiresome at best. The same has occurred with Law & Order SVU. Lackluster writing
Chicago PD series is great !! I can hardly wait till it comes on each week . The scenes are realistic and fantastic ! Please keep on TV !!!
Please renew Chicago PD every year, it is the best show on TV
Renew and for all complaining about Sophia Bush She chose to leave
Keep it going, Voight has to go back to his tough guy days, not this crap..
Ttoughen the show up again, get rid of Denny, the guy can’t act..
The show should be cancelled. You’ll ruined this show when you did not keep Sophia Bush. Have you not seen how many of her fans want Erin&Halstud together? Why did you not do the right thing of a show closure for Sophia Bush & Jesse Soffer? The one to replace Sophia Bush is a joke. Get rid of her!!!
I hop its cancelled! That voice on the gray haired guy (I don’t know his name as I cant stand to watch him) is like nails on a blackboard or someone with a throat disease.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A 6TH SEASON BUT PLS KEEP LIBERAL POLITICS OFF THE SHOW OR I WILL NOT WATCH IT. OTHER THAN THAT THE SHOW IS GREAT. NO LIBERAL POLITICS. UR DECISION
Absolutely expect a season six. Never did understand why the rating charts are based on the 18-49 age bracket only. Also, wonder if they factor in the DVR/TIVO watchers in their statistics. Happy to have this site to voice my thoughts, opinions and questions.
