Chicago P.D. returns for Season 14 on Wednesday, Oct. 7, at 10 p.m. ET on NBC, following new episodes of Chicago Med and Chicago Fire. Episodes will stream on Peacock the next day. The premiere follows the series’ previous season, which ended in May.
For US viewers following NBC’s Chicago franchise, the new season brings three returning dramas to one Wednesday-night lineup. chicago p.d. Season 14 premieres at 10 p.m. ET on Oct. 7, after new seasons of Chicago Med and Chicago Fire.
NBC’s schedule puts Chicago Med at 8 p.m. ET, Chicago Fire at 9 p.m. ET and Chicago P.D. at 10 p.m. ET. Each new episode will be available to stream on Peacock the following day.
The release details were reported by Yahoo Entertainment, which cited NBC for the premiere schedule. The new Chicago P.D. season arrives after Season 13 concluded in May.
Chicago P.D. joins NBC’s Wednesday lineup
The three shows share a franchise known as “Chicago One.” Their new seasons premiere on the same night, with Chicago P.D. taking the final slot. For viewers who stream rather than watch the NBC broadcast, the episodes arrive the next day on Peacock.
That timing also places the police drama after Chicago Fire, whose Season 14 finale left several characters’ fates unresolved. NBC said Kelly Severide, Mouch McHolland, Joe Cruz, Tony Ferraris and Harold Capp failed to escape a burning building in the season-ending cliffhanger.
A sharp cliffhanger.
The source report identifies that unresolved fire as the close of Chicago Fire’s previous season; it does not describe the plot of Chicago P.D.’s Season 14 premiere. The two shows share the Wednesday schedule, but the reported cliffhanger belongs to the firehouse drama.
For the audience, the practical difference is straightforward: NBC carries the premieres on Oct. 7, while Peacock makes the new episodes available the next day. The source gives the broadcast times in Eastern Time and does not list a separate streaming release hour.
What the schedule says
Chicago Med Season 12 opens the night at 8 p.m. ET. Chicago Fire Season 15 follows at 9 p.m. ET, and Chicago P.D. Season 14 closes the lineup at 10 p.m. ET. All three premieres are set for Wednesday, Oct. 7.
The report also notes that Chicago Fire is filmed in Chicago. NBC says most interior scenes are shot at Cinespace Film Studio, while many exterior scenes for the fictional firehouse are filmed at Chicago Fire Department Engine 18, at 1360 S. Blue Island Ave.
Production manager Demetria Diamantopoulos said that the crew films at Engine 18 “at least three days a month” and called the station “our second home.” The firehouse’s members, she said, make room for production while continuing to serve the community.
Chicago P.D.’s Season 14 broadcast is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET on Oct. 7.
