The Chicago franchise focuses on the professional and private lives of the firefighters, police officers, emergency medical personnel, and legal professionals who serve the city of Chicago. A recurring and unifying theme of the four shows is Molly's,[4] a small bar owned by three firefighters which has been frequented by characters from all four shows. Dick Wolf has stated that most episodes in the franchise will end with a scene at Molly's, saying that "it's a great note on the end of every show that connects all the shows".[5]
On September 26, 2018, NBC moved all three shows into consecutive time slots on Wednesday.[6] On February 28, 2019, NBC renewed Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med for their eighth, seventh, and fifth seasons, respectively.[7] All three Chicago shows will keep their respective time slots for the 2019–20 television season.[8] On March 13, 2020, the production of season 5 of Med, 8 of Fire, and 7 of P.D. were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
