When Do New Episodes Of Chicago Pd Start

Okay, let's talk Chicago PD. Specifically, when do new episodes finally grace our screens again?

Because let's be honest, refreshing Peacock every Wednesday night is getting old. And my social life is suffering.

The Never-Ending Hiatus: A Personal Lament

It feels like forever, doesn't it? Like we're trapped in some sort of TV time warp, doomed to re-watch reruns of Voight glowering at perps.

Don't get me wrong, I love Voight. But even his intense stares lose their luster after the fifth time.

And honestly, between the cliffhangers and the character drama, the wait is pure torture. I think I deserve danger pay.

The magic question. The one we all Google incessantly. The one that keeps us up at night.

Usually, Chicago PD follows a pretty predictable schedule. Fall premieres, mid-season breaks, and then a spring finale.

But life happens, right? Strikes, production delays… it all throws a wrench in the One Chicago machine.

And trying to decipher when exactly the show will return feels like trying to predict the lottery numbers. Good luck with that.

Okay, here it comes. Brace yourselves. I think the hiatuses are too long.

I know, I know. Hot take. But hear me out. It's hard to maintain the same level of enthusiasm when there are months and months between new episodes.

I start forgetting plotlines! I forget who's mad at who! It's chaos.

"Honestly, I spend half the first new episode trying to remember what happened last season," I confessed to my friend last week.

So, what are we supposed to do? Besides obsessively check the internet and re-watch old episodes, I mean.

Well, we can speculate wildly, of course. That's half the fun, isn't it?

We can also stalk Dick Wolf's Twitter account. Just kidding… mostly.

My current theory? They're secretly filming a super-secret episode with a crossover event involving all the One Chicago shows AND Law & Order.

Okay, maybe that's just wishful thinking. But a girl can dream, right?

In the meantime, I'll just be here, patiently (sort of) waiting for the return of Chicago PD. With a bowl of popcorn and a very strong drink.

Hey, at least we have reruns, right?

It's a small comfort, but hey, I'll take what I can get.

Just please, NBC, let us know soon when our favorite officers will be back on the beat!
