The announcement brings Chicago Fire into its 14th season, Chicago P.D. into its 13th, and Chicago Med into its 11th. Few television franchises have achieved such longevity and consistency, but
Paul Telegdy, NBC Entertainment Chairman, praised the creative teams behind the shows, noting that the franchise continues to push boundaries. “The One Chicago universe remains one of the cornerstones of our programming. It’s rare to find dramas that are not only this successful but also continue to grow in audience engagement after more than a decade. We are proud to bring these series back for another season.”
The success of the franchise lies in its ability to balance thrilling procedural plots with the personal lives of its ensemble casts. From the high-stakes rescues of Chicago Fire, to the tense police investigations in
Wednesday nights on NBC have effectively become “One Chicago Night,” where the shows air back-to-back. This programming block has consistently placed NBC among the top-rated networks on the evening, rivaling other powerhouse dramas across broadcast television. Streaming and syndication have only expanded the reach of the shows, with international audiences tuning in on platforms such as Peacock.
The renewal news comes at a time when fans have been speculating about potential cast changes and major story arcs for upcoming seasons.

The network has also hinted at potential crossovers, a fan-favorite tradition that brings together characters from all three shows in ambitious storylines.
For NBC, the One Chicago franchise is more than just television; it is a brand. Merchandise, streaming deals, and international distribution have turned the series into one of the most profitable assets in the network’s catalog. By locking in new seasons for all three shows, NBC signals its confidence that the franchise will remain a dominant force in the years ahead.
As the 2025–2026 season approaches, fans can mark their calendars for another year of heart-pounding rescues, gripping investigations, and life-saving medical cases. One thing is certain: Chicago’s bravest, boldest, and most compassionate will continue to hold center stage on NBC.
B&B DRAMA: Luna's Baby Mystery Deepens — Is Will Really the Father?
In the October 10 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Luna was forced to undergo a paternity test. This is a wise choice, as she’s known to cheat on tests. Now, there are questions as to whether Will is really the father of Luna’s baby.
Key Takeaways
- Luna announced the news that she’s pregnant with Will’s baby.
- She took advantage of him after she got him drunk at his promotion party.
- Luna ended up pregnant, which nearly destroyed Will’s relationship with Electra.
- No one’s convinced that she’s pregnant with Will’s baby.
Who’s The Daddy?
Luna (Lisa Yamada—who revealed the soap legends who helped her find her inner villain) is convinced that she’s pregnant with Will’s (Crew Morrow) child. However, no one can trust her since she’s not a reliable truth-teller.
She has changed the results of important tests in the past. Bill (Don Diamont) remembered when she conned him into thinking he was her biological father.
So, he had her take several pregnancy tests, but all of them showed that she was pregnant. Now, Bridget (Ashley Jones) was sent in to administer the paternity test to ensure the results were legit.
Luna couldn’t con her way out of this situation. Finally, Bill and Katie (Heather Tom) ensured they had the upper hand in this. They’re not going to have her bend to their ways and manipulate their son.
Is Luna Lying?
What’s surprising is that Luna is already seven weeks along. However, viewers witnessed her encounter with Will on August 21. Then, on September 19, she found out that she was pregnant.
B&B fans are confused by how far along Luna’s pregnancy is. The timing isn’t adding up. Unsurprisingly, her pregnancy continues to raise suspicions.
But she might’ve found herself in more baby daddy drama. Some fans wondered whether Luna slept with someone else around that time. Is it possible that Luna roped Remy (Christian Weissmann) into her drama?
However, it would be hard to believe since she literally came back from the dead. It’s just as hard to believe that she was able to get pregnant since she got shot in the stomach just months ago. This alone could prevent her from carrying her baby to full term.
So, Katie, Bill, and Will might get the answer to their prayers. But in the meantime, Luna could be right about being pregnant with Will’s child. She’s delusional about her situation involving Will, but this is the one thing she could be right about.
