Thanks to Netflix, CHICAGO P.D. will find an international audience.
“We can currently confirm that Netflix UK and Netflix France are definitely on the roster, alongside a broader rollout across much of Europe, including the Netherlands and Spain. We can also see it’s set to release in Latin America, including Brazil, and in other global territories, such as some Asian territories and Australia,” What’s On Netflix reported.
It’s run on Netflix isn’t necessarily a surprise, considering that other Chicago One franchise installments — CHICAGO MED and CHICAGO FIRE — also had stints on the streamer.
Unfortunately, Netflix subscribers in the US shouldn’t expect to see the hit Dick Wolf-created series on the streamer anytime soon. It’s currently available to stream on Peacock.
The series launched in 2014 as a spinoff from CHICAGO FIRE. Still going strong 13 seasons later, NBC officially renewed the gritty police procedural in March.
According to Collider, the cast includes Jason Beghe as Hank Voight, Patrick John Flueger as Adam Ruzek, Marina Squerciati as Kim Burgess, Amy Morton as Trudy Platt, Benjamin Levy Aguilar as Dante Torres, Toya Turner as Kiana Cook and Shawn Hatosy as Deputy Chief Charlie Reid.

LaRoyce Hawkins, an original cast member who plays fan-favorite Kevin Atwater, is leaving, though he’ll make a few appearances early in the new season to wrap up his storyline, Parade reported.
“NBC is the No. 1 most-watched entertainment network on Wednesday nights thanks to the strength of the One Chicago lineup,” NBC reported. CHICAGO P.D. was the third most-watched show on NBC last season.
A few CHICAGO P.D. episodes show strong themes of faith.
An episode from 2023 titled “New Life” earned Movieguide®’s Best Television for Mature Audiences award at the 2024 Movieguide® Awards Gala.
The review called it one of the show’s “most Christian, redemptive episodes. The episode promotes Christian faith, baptism and salvation from sin.”
Episode 13.10, titled “Faith,” which debuted earlier this year, also earned high praise.
“It’s riveting and emotionally powerful. It also has multiple references to faith and Christianity. CHICAGO P.D.: Faith is a great TV episode with an inspiring, soul-stirring ending. It not only shows the power of faith, but the final scene points to the Cross of Christ,” Movieguide®’s review says. “The last scene takes place in a church where the hero keeps looking at the large golden cross hanging prominently on the wall.”
It’s unclear if all 13 or only a select few seasons will be available on Netflix internationally starting Aug. 1.
