Chicago P.D. Off to a Promising Start on NBC

A rare 10 p.m. win for broadcast

In a season marred by wholly forgettable 10 p.m. launches, NBC thus far is the only broadcaster showing signs of life in the final hour of prime time.

The Peacock on Wednesday introduced a new Dick Wolf cop drama, Chicago P.D., and the preliminary ratings are promising. According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, the Chicago Fire spinoff delivered 8.59 million viewers and a 2.0 in the 18-49 demo, making it the second-biggest 10 p.m. debut of the season.
