'Chicago' Universe Fall TV Schedule - When Every Episode and Rerun Is Set to Air
September is finally here and you know what that means! It's now almost time for the Chicago [...]
September Reruns
Since the good folks at NBC know that everyone is beyond ready for new episodes, the network is using the weeks leading up the premieres to get everybody prepared.
On September 14, the first September episode of Chicago Fire airs. NBC will rerun the episode titled "Telling Her Goodbye," which you'll remember as the time when Firehouse 51 was taken over by gang members.
One week later, on September 21, the network will air "My Miracle." This episode is the season finale that ended with the terror of seeing many of the main characters trapped inside a burning building, with no way out.
That finale will lead right into the Season 6 premiere of Chicago Fire, just one week later.
The biggest thing to remember here is that all of these episodes are on a new night for Chicago Fire. The series is moving to 10 p.m. on Thursday nights.
prevnextWhat About 'Med' and 'Justice?'
There has been plenty of talk about both Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D., but no one has been mentioning the other two series in the Chicago line-up.
As far as Chicago Justice is concerned, there's sadly nothing else to watch. NBC cancelled the show earlier this summer. While the show is gone, some of the stars will be moving on to other programs in the franchise. Jon Seda is returning to P.D. as a series regular, while Philip Winchester will have a substantial role on Law & Order: SVU.
Now for the good news! Chicago Med is still going strong but it won't be airing right away. The show will premiere sometime in the midseason.
Hopefully there will be enough Fire and P.D. to carry the load through September.
prevnextWhat to Expect
While both Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. have established characters and stories, both were start with some pretty major shake-ups when they return.
As we already talked about, Chicago Fire ended with a big cliffhanger as Season 5 came of a close. Many of the firefighters of House 51 were trapped in an explosive fire and no one is sure who made it out. Showrunner Derek Haas didn't explicitly say that someone was going to die, but he did reveal that at least one character will be leaving in some way.
Over on P.D., there are two big changes to look out for this year. First and foremost, the show is facing the massive departure of Sophia Bush. After starring as Detective Erin Lindsay for four seasons, Bush has left ahead of the premiere.
Secondly, P.D. has a new showrunner in Rick Eid. The new boss has promised that the upcoming season will be more rooted in real-life issues facing the people of Chicago.
