Like its Chicago franchise contemporaries, Chicago P.D. returns after just 4 months with a new season premiering September 25 on NBC. The police procedural series follows the action and drama around the 21st District of the Chicago Police Department, where they catch perpetrators round the clock, and joins Chicago Med and Chicago Fire as part of the One Chicago universe. Season 11 sees Kim Burgess and Adam Ruzek get engaged for what many hope is for the permanenth time, which is just one of many other developments to look forward to this coming season.

Where to Watch Chicago P.D. Season 12

Chicago P.D. Season 12 premiers on NBC on Wednesday, September 25 at 10PM ET. (This is preceded by Chicago Fire at 9PM ET and Chicago Med at 8PM ET.)

Chicago P.D. Season 12 on NBC

You can watch Chicago P.D. Season 12 on NBC without cable on any of these cord-cutting services:

Fubo

Designed for the ultimate sports fan, Fubo is an on-demand and live TV service that streams games from multiple leagues including the NFL, NBA, MLB, and the Premier League. You can get up to 215 live channels on your lineup, which includes coverage on RSNs and local stations, though you might have to pay extra if you want premium entertainment channels like Starz and Showtime.

Hulu with Live TV

Combining the best of streaming and cable, Hulu with Live TV pairs Hulu’s original programming like Only Murders in the Building, imports like Normal People, and licensed ABC shows like Modern Family with live TV channels like CNN, CBS, and TCM to give you an all-in-one TV package. The plans start at $77/month (with ads), but for an additional fee, you can upgrade to a bundle that removes commercials and throws in Disney+ and ESPN+ to the mix.

YouTube TV

Often dubbed as the best cordless replacement to cable, YouTube TV is a live TV streaming platform that gives you access to more than 100 channels, sporting events, local channels, unlimited DVR space, and up to three simultaneous streams. But what really gives YouTube TV its edge is customization; depending on your needs, you can easily add premium channels like HBO, sports channels like NFL Redzone, and Spanish channels like Unimas to your preferred lineup.

Sling TV

Slings TV is a relatively affordable and wide-ranging live TV streaming service that has three main plans: the family-friendly Sling Orange, the sports-and-news-focused Sling Blue, and the comprehensive Sling Orange + Blue. The latter has a total of 46 channels, including IFC, TNT, and MGM, plus cloud DVR and simultaneous streams. You can also add multiple add-ons, like the Sports Extra, the News Extra, and the International Extra, to enhance your base package.

Fubo Elite

If you're a sports fan looking to cover all your bases, Fubo Elite has more than 256 channels and 130 live events that cover sports of all kinds, from basketball to cricket to golf. Channels include ESPN, CBS Sports Network, FS1 and FS2, beIN Sports, NFL Network, all the BIG Networks, and more. Depending on where you live, you should also have all the major local networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX. Even though Fubo Elite is a notch above the basic tier, with unlimited DVR and simultaneous screens, it still notably does not have Turner channels like CNN, TNT, and TBS.

New characters?

Toya Turner joins the cast as officer Kiana Cook, filling the void of the exit of Hailey Upton’s (Tracy Spiridakos) in the previous season. Shawn Hatosy also shakes things up as Deputy Chief Charlie Reid. Executive producer Gwen Sigan comments that though existing characters could step up to these roles, new characters could “shift up the dynamics of the unit and [add] new stories to tell [and] invigorate the show a lot.”
