On May 22, 2017, NBC canceled the series after one season, making it the first series in the Chicago franchise to end. After the show ended, Philip Winchester's character Peter Stone became a regular on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit where Chernuchin became showrunner, while Jon Seda's character Antonio Dawson returned to Chicago P.D. The show averaged a 1.5 rating (adults 18-49, Live+7) in comparison to 1.9 for Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med, with Chicago Fire receiving a 2.3 rating that season. Despite the show performing marginally better than Shades of Blue and Taken, NBC executives stated it was canceled due to sustainability and real estate for other programs.
