Where to watch
Catch the premiere on NBC. Quick refresher for the broadcast nerds among us: NBC launched in 1926, making it the first and oldest U.S. broadcast network, and it still anchors a monster lineup across genres. Think The Tonight Show, Today, Law & Order, America's Got Talent, and Saturday Night Live.
What show are we talking about again?
Chicago P.D. is the Chicago Fire spin-off that dials in on the 21st District's Intelligence Unit, led by Sergeant Hank Voight. It leans hard into grounded, no-frills police work and those big, messy cases that test the unit's limits. The vibe is straightforward: street cops on the beat and Voight's team tackling the heavy hitters like organized crime, trafficking, and headline-grabbing murders.
The gist: day-to-day patrol officers handle the city's immediate trouble while the Intelligence Unit takes on the major offenses - organized crime, drug networks, high-profile homicides, and whatever else blows up big enough to threaten the city. It's a put-it-on-the-line kind of job, and this crew treats it like Tuesday.
