NBC is taking on another Chicago-based Dick Wolf series — Chicago Med. The new hour drama series will debut during the 2015-16 season but the network hasn’t announced a start date as yet.
Here’s the network’s description and some images from the backdoor pilot:
Executive producer Dick Wolf delivers the newest installment of the compelling “Chicago” franchise, an emotional thrill ride through the day-to-day chaos of the city’s most explosive hospital and the courageous team of doctors who hold it together. They will tackle unique new cases inspired by topical events, forging fiery relationships in the pulse-pounding pandemonium of the emergency room, and through it all, familiar faces from the Chicago police and fire departments will intertwine as this third team of Chicago heroes hits the ground running.
The cast includes Oliver Platt, S. Epatha Merkerson, Laurie Holden, Nick Gehlfuss and Yaya Dacosta.
Dick Wolf, Matt Olmstead, Michael Brandt and Derek Haas serve as writers and executive producers. Danielle Gelber, Peter Jankowski and director Joe Chappelle (pilot) also executive produce. “Chicago Med” is produced by Universal Television and Wolf Films.
What do you think? Do you plan to tune in to check out this new TV show? Do you think it will be a hit? Cancelled after one season?
I plan to watch the new series Chicago Med when it starts and am sure it will be every bit as great as Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. I was looking for the start date online and came across this site.
Very excited about new franchise…LOVE Chicago Fire & Chicago PD!…LOVE good medical shows, but there hasn’t been one as good as ER since it ended, but based on the other 2 shows Chicago Med could be the one. Also agree Chicago Law would be cool. Just very well written series with great actors, exciting every week. Wish the producers would hire Esai Morales for one of the shows…he would be great. Steal him away from Blue Bloods, I don’t like that show.
i am ALSO looking forward to Chicago Med. if it is anything like Chicago Fire & Chicago PD it will be a hit and will be renewed after the season. Can’t wait to see it. Keep on with all three shows.
Now all we need is CHICAGO LAW, I am a huge fan of this franchise!
I called it when I saw it on Chicago fire! I can spot a spinoff from a mile away! 🙂
If this is as well done as the other two Chicago shows it’s sure to be a big hit! I know we’ll be watching it.
Can’t wait!!!
I’m a big fan too. I’m looking forward to the spin off after this one “Chicago…Streets, Water, and Sewage, Where all the fire fighting, ambulance running, and cop car chases really depend on the the Street Dept. having those roads up to snuff. Of course the Water Dept. has some horror stories of their own about water breaks they can’t find….Just when there’s a three alarm fire. The back and forth between the water dept and fire dept will have us all on the edge of our seats. As well as strange critters found lurking in the sewers that of… Read more »
Can’t wait! I love “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago PD”.
