Even though NBC’s Chicago PD TV show has dropped some in the Nielsen ratings over the last few years, it is still a top-five performer. Still, as shows age, they usually shed audience members. It’s always just a matter of time before the Television Vulture swoops in and has one good day. How will this series do in its sixth season? Will Chicago PD be cancelled or renewed for season seven? Stay tuned. **Status update, below.
An NBC police procedural, Chicago PD stars Jason Beghe, Jon Seda, Jesse Lee Soffer, Patrick John Flueger, Marina Squerciati, LaRoyce Hawkins, and Amy Morton. The Dick Wolf 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. This Dick Wolf TV series crosses over with the other shows in the franchise, Chicago Fire and Chicago Med.
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.
