How to Watch Chicago Franchise in Order? Easy Series Guide (2024)

The Chicago franchise known as One Chicago is one of the most successful franchises running on the NBC channel. Four shows are dedicated to characters in a particular field or profession.

The franchise format is quite similar to Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19, where we follow the lives of a few characters in each show, with crossover events every season. If you’re looking for a proper watcher for all the shows, you’ve come to the right place.

One Chicago consists of four shows: Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, Chicago Med, and Chicago Justice. Justice was canceled after one season, and the remaining shows are still running.

1. What is the recommended order to watch the Chicago Franchise?

Since the Chicago Franchise is a never-ending one with at least 601 episodes across 30 seasons, it becomes very confusing chronologically. Therefore, the most recommended watch order is as per the release order.

This avoids any confusion regarding the timeline, and the experience remains the same.

There are no confirmed One Chicago crossover episodes in 2024 as of yet. However, there have been rumors that a crossover between Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. is in the works.
