After more than five years of no crossovers, theOne ChicagoTV series —Chicago Fire,Chicago PD, andChicago Med— will come together for one big event in 2025, and one actor is setting high expectations for the three-part story.The three NBC procedural shows last teamed up in October 2019 for “Infection,“butsince then, they have kept to themselves. The COVID-19 pandemic (resulting in more safety precautions) was a huge factor in the crossover drought, but that will all end on one special night in late January.
Steven Weber, who stars as Dr. Dean Archer in the medical drama, discussed the highly-anticipatedOne Chicagocrossover withScreenRant. He couldn’t say too much about the event, including whichChicago FireorChicago PDcharacters Archer might share scenes with. However,Weber drew parallels between the upcoming crossover and one of the biggest movies ever.Check out Weber’s full quote below:
I don’t want to give anything away, but I will say that I’ve heard that it’s very, very difficult to act while wearing 40 to 50 pounds of gear, oxygen tanks, and masks. This is what I’ve heard. It’s really hard. But the thing is that this particular crossover is the equivalent of the audience going to a One Chicago amusement park and combine that with all these amazing actors. It’s not just a couple here and there mincing through the ER or some doctor shows up at a crash site or something like that. This is like Avengers: Endgame. Everybody comes in and they are going! And the audience is going to be screaming. That’s all I’m going to say.
