NBC One Chicago franchise return

Overview

NBC has launched the return of its ‘One Chicago’ franchise. Chicago Med premiered its 12th season with the episode ‘Shots Fired’, which depicts a crisis at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center following gunfire at a wedding. The premiere focuses on Sharon Goodwin defending her job against termination and Hannah Asher navigating major decisions during maternity leave, while Dr. Mitch Ripley and Dr. Dean Archer manage the influx of wounded patients. The episode also featured a mass casualty event and a vehicle crashing into the emergency department. In a development for the season, actor Colin Donnell is set to return as Dr. Connor Rhodes for two episodes, beginning with the fall finale on December 9. In that episode, Dr. Rhodes will return to the hospital at Sharon Goodwin’s request to assist with a risky surgery for a young heart patient. In the Season 12 episode ‘Third Rails’, the emergency department treats subway surfers with serious injuries. The plot involves a controversy regarding the unauthorized release of a former doctor’s private medical files, which was traced back to the chief nurse, Doris, after she observed the files on Sharon’s computer. Chicago Fire premiered its 15th season with ‘New Blood’. Set three months after a chaotic warehouse fire, the episode resolves a previous cliffhanger. While major characters survived the initial incident, the character Cruz, played by Joe Miñoso, faces a career-ending injury. Following a spinal fracture, MRI results revealed limited healthy tissue, indicating that Cruz will be unable to continue his work as a firefighter and will require the use of a wheelchair. The season also introduces a new group of probationary firefighters and explores the team’s navigation of media scrutiny following the accident. Chicago P.D. returned for its 14th season, focusing on themes of reinvention and high emotional stakes.
