The popular One Chicago spinoff Chicago Med has already enjoyed a 10-season run on the air thus far, but will the medical procedural score a season 11 renewal? Created by TV legend Dick Wolf and Matt Olmstead, Chicago Med chronicles the doctors, nurses, and staff of Gaffney Chicago Medical Center, one of the busiest hospitals in the Midwestern metropolis. Branching off as the third series in the One Chicago shared universe, Med follows in the footsteps of its medical show contemporaries by telling gripping stories of hospital drama mixed with the riveting personal lives of the characters.
The 2023-2024 TV year was a complicated ride for the One Chicago franchise as all three series were faced with major delays caused by the 2023 Hollywood strikes. Despite the fact that the Dick Wolf series missed its fall 2023 release window and was forced to air midseason, nothing has dulled the popularity of One Chicago and Chicago Med specifically. While the other One Chicago series saw major departures in recent seasons, Chicago Med was relatively stable going into season 10, meaning anything is bound to happen. With that in mind, Chicago Med season 11 seems like a foregone conclusion.
The One Chicago franchise includes:
Show | Release Years | # Of Seasons |
|---|---|---|
Chicago Fire | 2012-Present | 13 |
Chicago P.D. | 2014-Present | 12 |
Chicago Med | 2015-Present | 10 |
Chicago Justice | 2017 | 1 |
Chicago Med Season 10 Is Not Confirmed
NBC Hasn’t Renewed Yet
One Chicago has proven to be one of the most popular franchises on TV in recent years, and NBC has continued to find great success with Dick Wolf’s programs. Nevertheless, Chicago Med has not been picked up for an 11th season yet, and none of the other One Chicago shows have been renewed either. This isn’t particularly surprising considering the newness of season 10, and there’s little doubt that NBC will make a decision sooner rather than later when it comes to One Chicago.
Chicago Med
season 10 debuted on September 25, 2024.
When Chicago Med was renewed for season 10 in March 2024, NBC renewed the medical drama alongside its sister series. This mass renewal not only speaks to the ongoing popularity of One Chicago, but to NBC’s confidence in the franchise as a whole. With that in mind, it’s expected that Chicago Med will get renewed (along with Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D.) around midseason. This slight delay allows NBC to assess the ratings of the series, though it’s assured that viewership will be high.
Chicago Med Season 10 Cast Details
Which Of The Gaffney Staff Will Return?
Though nothing is confirmed regarding the cast of Chicago Med season 11 yet, it isn’t difficult to guess who will be reprising their roles. S. Epatha Merkerson has led the series as Sharon Goodwin since season 1, and there’s a high likelihood that she’ll reprise her role. The same goes for TV veteran Oliver Platt, who will be back as Dr. Daniel Charles, and Marlyne Barrett as Maggie Lockwood. While any number of shakeups could happen throughout season 10, the rest of the familiar staff is expected to return unless information arrives to the contrary.
While some changes have happened within the Chicago Med cast in recent seasons, the 10th season actually saw a net gain when it comes to staff members at Gaffney. Newcomers Sarah Ramos and Darren Barnet arrived in season 10 as Dr. Caitlin Lenox and Dr. John Frost, respectively, and they’ll likely return for season 11 as well.
The presumptive cast of Chicago Med season 11 includes:
Actor | Chicago Med Role | |
|---|---|---|
S. Epatha Merkerson | Sharon Goodwin |  |
Marlyne Barrett | Maggie Lockwood |  |
Oliver Platt | Dr. Daniel Charles |  |
Luke Mitchell | Dr. Mitch Ripley |  |
Steven Weber | Dr. Dean Archer |  |
T.V. Carpio | Grace Song |  |
Alet Taylor | Liliana Wapniarski |  |
Jessy Schram | Dr. Hannah Asher |  |
Henderson Wade | Dr. Loren Johnson |  |
Sarah Ramos | Dr. Caitlin Lenox |  |
Darren Barnet | Dr. John Frost |  |
Chicago Med Season 11 Story Details
What’s Next For Gaffney Medical Center?
the only thing that’s certain is that
Chicago Med
season 11 will see the doctors, nurses, and staff of Gaffney using their medical know-how to tackle a slew of health emergencies that strike the city.
Predicting the plot of Chicago Med season 11 is difficult at this juncture because the scope of season 10 is unknown. Like the rest of its One Chicago contemporaries, Med has never shied away from dramatic storylines that branch from season to season, but the plots going into season 10 will probably be resolved by the time season 11 rolls around. With that in mind, the only thing that’s certain is that Chicago Med season 11 will see the doctors, nurses, and staff of Gaffney using their medical know-how to tackle a slew of health emergencies that strike the city.
