Is Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, Chicago PD new tonight, July 12?
Also, let’s just say that this is where we also continue to become a little bit of a broken record. After all, there is no installment of any of these shows on the air tonight, and nor will there be for quite some time.
At this point in most years, we are at a point when production is gearing up to start in the Windy City. However, things are rather different this time around, and for a handful of reasons. The writers’ strike has been going on for an extremely long period of time and for now, it does not appear as though it’s going to be ending anytime soon. That’s the first major impediment to these shows coming back, as it cannot happen without there being any scripts. There’s also the looming threat of an actors’ strike, and that is something else that you have to consider at the moment.
The longer the writers’ strike lasts, the more likely it is that we don’t see this franchise back at any point this calendar year. There is still a chance for it, but things do have to get moving sooner rather than later.
Our big hope
Why can’t the writers get what they deserve? The networks and streaming services have to realize eventually that public sentiment is not on their side and there are ways to get a deal done. Without that, losing One Chicago is a huge financial blow, given that this is one of the most successful franchises on network TV at the moment.
What are you most hoping to see on Chicago Med, Chicago PD, and Chicago Fire when the three shows come back?
Be sure to share right now in the attached comments! Once you do just that, remember to keep coming back for some other updates in due time.
