Today is a good day for Chicago because NBC renewed Chicago Fire for a 15th season, Chicago P.D. for a 14th season, and Chicago Med for a 12th season. The news is not a surprise because they are the network’s most-watched shows.
The three Dick Wolf first responders procedurals join the two comedies, Happy’s Place and St. Denis Medical, on next season’s schedule.
The scripted shows still waiting to hear what the future holds for them are Brilliant Minds, Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, Stumble, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, and The Hunting Party.
Of those shows, I think that the Law & Orders and Reggie Dinkins have the best chance of coming back next season. When it comes to the Dick Wolf shows, while the series will be back, I doubt that all the series regulars will be back. The more time you are with a show, the more expensive you are. And broadcast television doesn’t have the money it once had.
