Season 14 of Chicago Fire, Season 13 of Chicago P.D., and Season 11 of Chicago Med — officially in the books. 🎬 🚒 🚓 🚑

We closed out the season with a final ADR session for Chicago Fire featuring Miranda Rae Mayo (@mrmayo), marking the first time she recorded the final cues of the season!

A huge shoutout to our incredible ADR recording and supervision crew, and the team behind the scenes keeping everything running smoothly day in and day out.

We’re always grateful to our partners at Wolf Films and NBCUniversal, the teams coordinating talent across the country, and the post audio crews who help bring every episode to life.

And of course, thank you to the amazing actors who step into our studio. Your talent, time, and passion you bring into each session means everything to us.

From in-studio sessions to connections with remote studios around the world, it takes a global effort to make it all happen.

14 seasons of Fire, 13 of P.D., and 11 of Med — and counting!

Thanks to everyone who helps make the One Chicago universe sound its best. See you next season. 🎙️🎬
