Before Jeremy Allen White had an alcoholic mom on The Bear, his mom was a racist on Law & Order. He looks the same now as he did when he was 16 on that 2008 episode.
Fire leads off the night when they get a call about an underground gas explosion at a highrise.
They rush into the building to save as many people as they can. When they arrive, Firehouse 51 splits up to rescue people in different parts of the building. They don’t have a lot of time because the building is at risk of collapsing.
Almost all of them get out. However, Lt. Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) and Officer Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger) get trapped underground in a subway that derailed because of rubble from the explosion.
Ruzek is not the only PD member missing. So is Desk Sgt. Trudy Platt (Amy Morton). Even though the building is unstable, Mouch (Christian Stolte) and Hermann (David Eigenberg) go back in to look for her.
When they find her, she needs to be rushed to Chicago Med due to life-threatening injuries. That is when the medical drama takes over the three-hour event. They need to work on her and other injured victims from the explosion.
Not all the doctors are in the hospital. Dr. Archer (Steven Weber) and Dr. Frost (Darren Barnet) head out to the scene. Both will be important in different ways.
As lives are left in peril, Chicago PD has to investigate the source of the explosion. It turns out it was not an accident. Officer Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati) and Sgt. Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) are on the case.
In the final hour, they will have to find out who did it and why. There is one victim with burns all over her body who can be the person who will be able to help them the most. However, Dr. Caitlin Lenox (Sarah Ramos) won’t let them talk to the woman who is intubated after a surgery to save her life.
Will they be able to get the information they need? You will have to tune in to find out.
I am not usually a fan of the Chicago One crossover events because I don’t watch Chicago PD. However, this one flowed so naturally it truly feels like one show for three hours and not three individual shows.
Whether you watch the Chicago first responders’ drama or not, this is an exciting three hours that anyone can enjoy watching.
Next week, Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago PD are coming together for a one-night event.
When a gas explosion rocks a high-rise, Chicago’s first responders come out in force to rescue hundreds of civilians. It’s the calamity beneath the surface, however, that sends our heroes on a race to save 40 people trapped deep underground, including two of their own.
Will anyone we know die? We will have to tune into One Chicago on Wednesday at 10p to find out in what looks like it will be a thrilling three-hour crossover event.
NBC and Dick Wolf had some big news to share about their three Chicago shows. On Wednesday, January 29th, Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago PD are a three-part crossover event. This is the first one since 2019, believe it or not.
“Putting together what is essentially a three-hour action movie is an incredibly ambitious task requiring complete coordination across our writers, casts, crews and producers, along with help from the city of Chicago,” said Anastasia Puglisi, Wolf Entertainment Executive Vice President and co-executive producer of the #OneChicago series. “We’re thrilled to have the best talent in every department to meet this challenge, reinforce the #OneChicago brand, and provide our fans with a unique and compelling viewing experience.”
What can fans expect from the three-hour movie? When a gas explosion rocks a high-rise, Chicago’s first responders come out in force to rescue hundreds of civilians. It’s the calamity beneath the surface, however, that sends our heroes on a race to save 40 people trapped deep underground, including two of their own.
As someone whose favorite movie genre is Disaster film, I cannot wait for the explosive One Chicago Night.
Dick Wolf has three nights of programming on two different broadcast channels. On January 9th, he is giving streaming a try with his new beat cop procedural on Prime Video.
On Call is an adrenalized and visceral police drama that follows a rookie and veteran officer duo as they go on patrol in Long Beach, California. Incorporating a mixture of bodycam, dash-camera, and cellphone footage to create a cinema verité effect, the innovative series explores the morality of protecting and serving a community.
The series stars Troian Bellisario (Pretty Little Liars) as Officer Traci Harmon, a seasoned twelve-year veteran and training officer with a strong moral compass that has defined her approach to policing, even if that puts her at odds with new law enforcement policies. Brandon Larracuente (The Good Doctor) stars as Alex Diaz, an ambitious rookie who grapples with holding onto his optimistic outlook as he realizes the challenges he’ll face in today’s climate.
I was drinking coffee when I started watching the trailer. But then I poured it down the sink because that teaser woke me up better than caffeine ever could. What an adrenaline rush!
I also can’t wait to see how much further Wolf takes things now that he unrestricted on streaming.
