The NBC boss speaks about One Chicago cast exits

“Obviously it keeps the shows fresh,” President of Program Planning Strategy for NBCUniversal Entertainment Jeff Bader told TVLine.

He was asked what was happening with the various cast exits, including some popular folks leaving.

“It’s interesting because every year, there are cast changes, and every year, someone asks the same question. But [those shows] just keep going on,” he added.

The One Chicago shows continue to persevere the cast turnover. They remain among the most-watched programs on television, routinely winning their Wednesday night timeslots.

“Cast comes in, cast goes out. We’re thrilled with how the Chicagos do on Wednesday. We have no plans on changing anything on that night,” Bader also stated.

The continued ratings success made it easy for NBC to order news seasons of Med, Fire, and P.D. New episodes should arrive in late September 2024.

Thank goodness Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) is still featured on Chicago Fire, despite the episode clip below that almost took him out last spring.
