Filming on Season 9 of the NBC drama Chicago PD was suspended Wednesday after a number of positive COVID tests, including cases in Zone A, which includes the cast and those who directly interact with them.
NBC continued handing out early renewals late Monday, picking up Dick Wolf procedurals Chicago Fire and Chicago PD for the 2016-17 season. Chicago Fire will return for its fifth season, while spinoff Chicago PD will begin its fourth season.
Earning additional season orders for the 2015-16 television season are The Blacklist (season three), Chicago Fire (season four), Chicago PD (season three), Law & Order: SVU (season 17) and Grimm (season five), the network announced. Still waiting for word on their futures are midseason entry Hannibal, which typically is renewed over the summer; as well as NBC’s one returning comedy from last season About a Boy.
