Taylor Kinney, Marina Squerciati share details of ‘epic’ new One Chicago crossover
One Chicago fans, the crossover we’ve been waiting for since 2019 is finally coming. NBC has confirmed that the three-part crossover will air on January 29 and will track the ripple effects on the Intelligence Unit, Firehouse 51, and Gaffney after a gas explosion in a high-rise leaves hundreds of civilians in danger.
“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,” reads the NBC synopsis.
Chicago PD’s Marina Squerciati teased the crossover, sharing a selfie she took with Chicago Med actor’s Luke Mtchell, Sarah Ramos, and Jessie Schamer, writing: “The secret’s out…we are filming an EPIC crossover #onechicago!”
A second picture included Chicago Fire’s Taylor Kinney, David Eigenberg and Dermot Mulroney posing with Marina.

“We’re thrilled to have the best talent in every department to meet this challenge.”
The three-hour crossover will air on Wednesday, January 29 – however unlike the normal One Chicago Wednesday line-ups, the evening will begin with an episode of Fire at 8/7c then followed by Med and PD.
The last three-way crossover took place in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic forced TV productions to limit what they could do and when, and it told the story of a flesh-eating bacteria that spread throughout Chicago and forced CDC to become involved.
In 2020 Chicago Fire and Chicago PD enjoyed a smaller crossover; a series of teen opioid overdoses sees Fire’s Severide partner with PD’s Sean Roman, but begins to suspect there’s more to the story than his old friend is telling him.
