Why a New Chicago PD, Fire & Med Episode Won’t Air Next Week (April 28 – May 4)

Many viewers are puzzled as to why there won’t be fresh episodes of Chicago PD, Chicago Fire, and Chicago Med next week in their usual time slots. These One Chicago shows often take a break between episodes for different reasons. However, these series will air this coming week, but they have been scheduled for a brief pause on April 30th. After a one-week hiatus, people are asking what will fill the gap and when the programs will resume. Here’s the information you need.

Why Chicago PD, Fire and Med will be on a break next week

Based on TV Insider’s schedule, NBC plans to broadcast re-runs of the shows Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, and Chicago Med.

Networks often schedule brief pauses during a season to ensure a seamless progression up until May, when most seasons end. These pauses can offer production teams extra time to complete forthcoming episodes or enable the network to insert special broadcasts. In this case, it appears they’re focusing on finishing remaining episodes, as no alternative programming has been scheduled instead.

NBC has planned repeat broadcasts of the One Chicago series for the week commencing April 30th. This lineup includes “Chicago Med” Season 10 Episode 6 (“Forget Me Not”), “Chicago Fire” Season 13 Episode 6 (“Bird of Prey”), and “Chicago PD” Season 12 Episode 6 (“Pawn”). These shows will resume with fresh episodes on May 7, 2025, in their regular airing times.

  • Chicago Fire’s new episode, “Up and Walking,” airs at 9:00 PM. The team faces staffing shortages while a performance evaluator arrives. Elsewhere, Kidd and Severide connect with the mother of the baby they hope to adopt.
