Chicago PD Season 12 could be preempted: Here's what we know

As a seasoned gamer and TV enthusiast who’s been through countless debates between politicians (both in real life and in-game), I can’t help but feel a sense of déjà vu with this upcoming clash between the highly anticipated Chicago PD Season 12 premiere and a presidential debate.

There’s a lot of anticipation for the autumn TV lineup, with Chicago PD Season 12 being one of the initial premieres. However, it might get postponed.

The TV series “Chicago PD” is scheduled to debut its 12th season on Wednesday, September 25, coinciding with the airtime of the other two “One Chicago” shows. Given that NBC aims to keep all three programs in sync, if one show encounters a delay, the others will likely follow suit.

A Presidential Debate could happen on the same night as the Chicago PD premiere

2020 is shaping up to be a significant year in terms of politics. This year marks another round of elections, which typically brings about numerous discussions and debates. On Wednesday, September 25, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are scheduled to hold a debate.

Although the debate is scheduled for broadcast on ABC, it doesn’t necessarily imply that other networks will adhere to their initial programming. Given that they wouldn’t want to clash with the debate, it’s probable that they’ll adjust their schedules to direct viewers towards these debates instead.

The Chicago PD Season 12 opener might be postponed. Although the discussion won’t air concurrently with the cop series, it will coincide with the medical drama Chicago Med. Given this, there’s a possibility that all three One Chicago shows could be delayed until the next week.

At this point, NBC has not officially announced its plans regarding the debate date. However, for now, you might want to mark September 25 in your calendar as a potential premiere day. Bear in mind that there’s always a chance the debate won’t take place at all due to the unpredictable nature of politics. One possibility is that one of the Presidential candidates may decide to withdraw from the debate. This uncertainty could be why NBC hasn’t definitively said they will preempt episodes, and they might make that decision closer to the event itself.

Chicago PD Season 12 is currently set to premiere on Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 10/9c on NBC.
