What happens

Chicago Justice is an American legal drama television series created by Dick Wolf, the fourth series of the Chicago franchise. It stars Philip Winchester, Jon Seda, Joelle Carter, Monica Barbaro, and Carl Weathers. It aired on NBC from March 1 to May 14, 2017. A backdoor pilot aired on May 11, 2016, as part of the third season of Chicago P.D. before being ordered to series. The show follows the prosecutors and investigators at the Cook County State's Attorney's Office as they navigate their way through Chicago area politics, the legal arena, and media coverage while pursuing justice. 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 space for other programs. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
