However, unlike the others, NBC has new episodes of several original scripted shows ready to go. Will this give the Peacock Network a significant leg up in the ratings for the whole 2023-24 television season? How many NBC shows will be cancelled or renewed by the end? Stay tuned.

We finally know why Tracy Spiridakos decided to leave Chicago P.D.
The announcement was made ahead of Season 11 that it would be her final season playing Detective Hailey Upton. But she never went public with the information.
Instead, Tracy let the season play out, and ahead of the season finale, she has finally addressed her departure.
Tracy joined the show at the end of Season 4, becoming an important part of the Intelligence team and vital to the show following the exit of Sophia Bush (she played Detective Erin Lindsay).
Her character had many fans, especially when Upton’s relationship with Detective Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer) moved forward.
Many Chicago P.D. fans still share the hashtag UpsteadForever when posting about the couple and the show on social media.

A big change is coming to Firehouse 51. Longtime Chicago Fire cast member Eamonn Walker will make his last appearance as a series regular in the show’s May 22 season 12 finale. Unsurprisingly, Deputy Chief Boden’s exit will be an emotional one, based on a teaser for the upcoming episode.
Eamonn Walker says goodbye in ‘Chicago Fire’ Season 12 finale
Chicago Fire’s strike-shortened season 12 has already seen a few major cast shakeups. Kara Killmer (Sylvie Brett) and Alberto Rosende (Blake Gallo) left early in the season, and Jocelyn Hudon joined the show midway through the season as paramedic Lyla Novak.
Now, one of the NBC drama’s longest-serving cast members is on his way out. Walker has decided to leave the show after 12 seasons. Though he’s expected to be back in a recurring capacity in the future, his last episode as a series regular will be “Never Say Goodbye.” (NBC...

Hank Voight is in harm’s way during the Chicago P.D. season finale.
During the penultimate episode of Season 11, Voight was taken from his home after being seemingly drugged.
It appeared that Voight had been drugged, leading to hallucinations and immobilizing the Intelligence leader.
As Intelligence began zeroing in on a lead suspect in the serial killer case, his team had no idea that Voight had been taken.
When Detective Hailey Upton went by his house, she became suspicious that his car was there, his backdoor was unlocked, and Voight was missing.
Was Voight about to become the latest victim of a serial killer that had plagued Intelligence for most of the season?

As a show about the first responders, Chicago Fire loves to kill off fan-favorite characters and constantly remind viewers that no member of Firehouse 51 is safe. But perhaps this attitude toward characters – only as tools of increasing drama – has not served the show well.
Chicago Fire Fans Have Seen Enough of Their Favorites Die
Chicago Fire began with a death – Andy Darden died in a fire in the premiere episode. This was followed by the death of Shay, one of the show's biggest fan favorites. She was hit by a pipe during a call in the season two finale, leaving viewers with a huge cliffhanger, but fans didn't learn of her death until the season three premiere.
The same was true for Otis, another character for whom viewers grew increasingly sympathetic. Like Shay, Otis died a heroic death in a fire. Once again, the seventh season ended with the tense call,...

Actress Miranda Rae Mayo shared some Chicago Fire spoilers about the big season finale.
One of the recognizable stars from the One Chicago shows, Miranda plays Lieutenant Stella Kidd.
Kidd was absent from the latest episode as Firehouse 51 dealt with the loss of Truck 81. Through character conversations, we learned she was in California hot on the trail of a new truck.
Things got more tense with Paramedic Chief Robinson, though, after Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) reported her right-hand man (Lennox) for nearly killing a patient in the field.
People have had to step up and lead the house recently. The absence of Chief Boden (Eamonn Walker) has led to some interesting storylines.
Unfortunately, part of the season finale includes an “emotional farewell” to Boden.

The most beloved series about firefighters right now is undoubtedly Chicago Fire – each episode is an exciting drama about selfless people. The unpredictability of the plot twists and the high level of drama have contributed a great deal to the popularity of the show.
On Chicago Fire, the stakes are high – anyone, even the main fan favorite, can die. And one such death is still haunting fans.
Otis' Death in Chicago Fire Season 7
Otis Zvonecek was one of the most beloved characters on Chicago Fire – the members of Firehouse 51 treated him like a little brother, and Otis always put a positive spin on even the most difficult and risky situations.
In Season 6, Otis began dating Lily, the daughter of the man who sold him the bar the firefighter called Molly's North, and their duo melted the hearts of many viewers. The fans wished the couple a happy ever after, but...

Gear up, Chicago Fire fans, because it's time to say goodbye.
At least for the season, we'll hang up our helmets and turnouts and leave Chicago's bravest to a much-needed break.
Sadly, we'll be saying a real goodbye to one of the show's longest-tenured cast members.
Eamonn Walker announced his exit recently, and we're told to expect some details about that during next week's finale.
If you've been following our reviews this season, you'll know that we haven't been overly impressed with Chicago Fire since it returned.
But let's be real, not much could keep me from watching.
Once you've invested over a decade of your life into characters, you're basically obligated to see them through to the end.
So, while it has been a disappointing season, that doesn't diminish the fact that the show is still great, and I'll be back in the fall like the loyal lapdog I am.

Jason Beghe has some intriguing thoughts about how Chicago P.D. will end its current season.
The Chicago P.D. Season 11 finale will likely wrap up an intense serial killer case, with fans fearing one particular casualty.
Fans must watch the previous episode first because it ended with a cliffhanger.
Previous episodes of the One Chicago shows are all available for streaming on Peacock. Jesse Lee Soffer — he used to play Detective Jay Halstead — directed the latest installment.
Before the season finale arrives, several One Chicago stars appeared on The Tonight Show. And they spoke with Jimmy Fallon about what’s coming.
As a reminder, the Chicago P.D. season finale arrives on Wednesday, May 22 at 10/9c on NBC.

8. Emma Jacobs Was Done Dirty & Didn’t Deserve It
Emma used to be one of the most hated characters in Chicago Fire, but that only proves she was a brilliant antagonist, and Caitlin Carver was among the best actors on the show. Emma never deserved being sent away like she was, especially since she was right every single time… And “not being cut out for 51” is no valid excuse.
7. Leslie Shay’s Death Was Completely Justified
Throughout the many seasons of Chicago Fire, Shay’s death is often called the most tragic and traumatizing. Fans loved her character, and seeing her go so randomly was a real sucker punch… But if you take a step back from your feelings and look at the show as a whole, you have to admit: Shay’s death was a great choice storywise.

There is something extremely beautiful about the shows with an ensemble cast. When picking favorites, there are so many people to choose from that every watching session turns into a quest.
The most powerful effect always comes from those who triggered you enough to remember them even when they’re gone. This is the case with Chicago Fire: the show is ending its season 12 right now, but here we have redditors still screaming about how they hate a particular character that left 6 seasons ago.
Chicago Fire’s Most Hated Character
Well, the person we are talking about is none other than Gabriela Dawson, first known as a paramedic on Ambulance 61. Since season 1 she was one of the main characters of the series, and by the way, you might remember that it was Gabby who was Matthew Casey’s wife.

Due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the new seasons of the Chicago One shows have undergone some not so pleasant changes, and Chicago P.D. has taken a big hit in terms of budget cuts, cast shifts, as well as the reduction of the total number of episodes in Season 11, and that's why the final episode will be hitting our screens very soon. The events of the past week have pushed the risks to the limit and none other than the head of the Chicago P.D. Intelligence Unit, Hank Voight (Jason Beghe), is now in mortal danger.

The Washington, D.C. native spent the first stretch of her acting career in the Big Apple on the stage, only branching out to film and television after a move to L.A.
Since then, you've seen her in countless television shows and miniseries. She's done just about every genre, and with every role, she's knocked it out of the park.

Modern procedurals are moving more and more towards realism. If fifteen years ago even viewers could understand that the scenes shown to them looked completely unrealistic and unreliable, in today's projects the discrepancy with reality is often noticed only by the professionals themselves.
The creators of series about paramedics and police officers invite special consultants to the set, such as retired police officers, who regulate the actions of the characters so that they look as realistic as possible.
However, no matter how much the level of authenticity has increased in recent years, the procedural TV shows still cannot be considered completely reliable.
Chicago Fire Focuses Heavily on Personal Stories of First Responders
Chicago Fire is not just about firefighters and paramedics, it is about the entire flawed system of the Chicago Fire Department. Bureaucracy, waste of budget, deception of taxpayers, conflicts with superiors and everything that gets in the way of saving lives.

Three One Chicago stars were featured on the Wednesday night episode of The Tonight Show.
NBC celebrated One Chicago Wednesday with new episodes of the three hit dramas, followed by three stars sitting down with Jimmy Fallon.
After comedian Will Forte served as the primary guest on May 15, Jimmy welcomed three recognizable faces from One Chicago.
Jason Beghe (Hank Voight on Chicago P.D.), Miranda Rae Mayo (Stella Kidd on Chicago Fire), and S. Epatha Merkerson (Sharon Goodwin from Chicago Med) sat down with the Tonight Show host.
The trio brought something fun for the host to enjoy while they filmed a new episode at Rockefeller Center in New York.
It was a good plug for the Chicago-based dramas, giving the shows some added buzz as the season finales approach.

I hate to say it, but I'm so glad this was the penultimate episode of season 12.
This season has had a couple of decent storylines, but frankly, the majority of it has been pretty dull. For a show predicated on action and drama, there's been a definite shortage of those things over the last dozen episodes.
This installment lacked the exciting follow-ups we hoped to see after Chicago Fire Season 12 Episode 11 and answered none of our questions. What do we have to do to get some background around here?
The episode wasn't all bad. To be entirely fair, the growing bond between Violet and Novak has been lovely to see.
Novak opened up a lot more, giving Violet and the viewers some insight into who she is. For someone who has made it clear she prefers to move on frequently and stay free from attachments, it's starting to become clear...

There won’t be a dry eye in the station, and not because of spray from a hose. Chicago Fire original cast member Eamonn Walker is stepping away from his series regular duties on the hit NBC series after 12 seasons portraying boss Wallace Boden.
His finale is next Wednesday, and the promo for his farewell promises a lot of emotion.
While there have been multiple cast changes of late on OneChicago, his Wallace Boden character is still very much alive and well, sources said, and Walker is expected to return to the show in a recurring capacity in the future.
Fans will find more clarity regarding what’s been happening with Boden and his plans moving forward in the Season 12 finale, “Never Say Goodbye,” airing on May 22.
The character has been on a short leave of absence due to personal family matters, leaving Severide (Taylor Kinney) in charge, but will return for the finale.

In almost any series, no matter what it is about – superheroes, medieval magic or mysterious murders – there will definitely be a love line or two. In the 90s, Brazilian soap operas were watched by whole families. In the 21st century, soap operas have been replaced by procedurals, but in addition to investigations, saving lives and legal troubles, such series still devote a significant part of their running time to romantic storylines.
Of course, Chicago Fire has not escaped this fate, where love passions boil no less than the rescuers' professional lives. Over 12 seasons, viewers have witnessed the rise and fall of many couples' feelings.

In interviews Tom Selleck has repeatedly said that despite the fact that he was a movie fan, he never dreamed of becoming an actor. It is known that in his teenage years the future actor devoted himself entirely to sports – basketball and athletics.
Tom Selleck Couldn't Even Dream of Becoming an Actor
Tom went to Los Angeles Valley College to live with his family and not spend extra money. During his junior year, Selleck transferred to the University of Southern California on a basketball scholarship.
One of his teachers advised him to try his hand at acting, so Tom dropped out of college his senior year and threw himself into studying the basics of acting. At the time, he was also working as a model, which is how he got noticed.

Every show that hits a decade milestone needs to evaluate whether it still has great stories to tell, or whether it is continuing with renewals just to extract more profit from its loyal audience. Regardless of the outcome, if the show is struggling to keep its original stars in the franchise, it may be time to say goodbye.
Of course, you can't expect every actor to play a character forever. While some crave stability and love to grow with their characters, others need the variety of roles that acting offers. Chicago Fire season 12, however, is an example of the most radical cast changes that will likely lead to the show's demise.
Is Chicago Fire Renewed for Season 13?

Unfortunately for all Chicago Fire viewers, the show's cast has undergone quite a few changes since season 1. A good half of the original characters introduced in the show's pilot have been let go.
And while some of them, like Gabriela Dawson, have been peacefully written off and sent overseas, others, like Leslie Shay and Otis Zvonecek, have met darker ends.
While NBC's firefighter hit isn't known for being as gruesome as Grey's Anatomy when it comes to killing off characters, both Shay and Otis' deaths left a big impression on viewers. While Lauren German, who portrayed Shay, almost immediately moved on to Fox's supernatural hit Lucifer, Yuriy Sardarov, who portrayed Otis, has been a bit more reserved.

Many Chicago Fire characters have been missing in action this season, leading to questions about their whereabouts.
The absences became particularly pronounced during the latest episode (Inside Man), where Kelly Severide (played by Taylor Kinney) got taken for a ride by some domestic terrorists.
Truck 81 was stolen from Firehouse 51, forcing the remaining people on shift to work together with Chicago P.D. to track down and save Severide.
With Chief Boden still on leave and Severide mysteriously gone, it fell upon the other leaders of the firehouse to lead the rescue.
The action helped shift some of the focus away from the fact that Mouch (Christian Stolte) and Sam Carver (Jake Lockett) were also gone.
Within the storylines, Mouch was at a training session, Carver was on furlough, and Boden was off helping his stepson.

The final Chicago P.D. episode for Detective Hailey Upton debuts soon on NBC.
Actress Tracy Spiridakos has played Upton for many years, but her run ends with the Chicago P.D. season finale.
Hints about something going on with Upton have been dropped during many episodes this season, increasing the likelihood of something boiling over.
Having Upton exit so soon after the show lost Detective Jay Halstead (played by Jesse Lee Soffer) could be difficult for viewers.
Many fans and even people from the show have posted #SaveUpton on social media. And die-hard fans still post #UpStead as the relationship name for Upton and Halstead.
Those same fans hope Halstead makes a surprise appearance in Upton’s final episode to provide some closure.

Hints about something going on with Upton have been dropped during many episodes this season, increasing the likelihood of something boiling over.
Having Upton exit so soon after the show lost Detective Jay Halstead (played by Jesse Lee Soffer) could be difficult for viewers.
Many fans and even people from the show have posted #SaveUpton on social media. And die-hard fans still post #UpStead as the relationship name for Upton and Halstead.
Those same fans hope Halstead makes a surprise appearance in Upton’s final episode to provide some closure.

Chicago Fire will look different when it opens Season 13 this fall. Several cast members are leaving the show, and things appear to be in for a shakeup at the station. Eamonn Walker (Deputy District Chief Wallace Boden) is leaving the show as a full-time cast member. Now, another beloved character might also exit the series.
Here is who else might be leaving and what might be next for Chicago Fire.
Chicago Fire Losing Beloved Veteran Firefighter?
One of the original Chicago Fire firefighters has been missing for a few episodes now and many fans are asking if he is leaving the show. This is even more distressing since so many other characters are also departing after Season 12.
