NBC welcomed back its Chicago trio with new, shutdown-delayed seasons, which were all down nearly a tenth across the board compared with their previous season averages. However, they still stayed strong with the Season 6 premiere of Chicago Med (1.1, 7.61M) leading the way, delivering the night’s biggest audience. It was followed by the Season 9 debut of Chicago Fire (1.0, 7.02M) and the Season 8 premiere of Chicago P.D. (0.9, 6.27M).
The premieres come after Deadline reported that Chicago Fire shut down production on Sunday for two weeks due to multiple positive COVID-19 tests.
