Telly’s Take
While Chicago Med‘s second season ratings have dropped, that was to be expected. In its freshman year, the medical drama’s lead-in was NBC’s most popular series, The Voice, and now airs on a night with tougher competition and weaker lead-ins. The second season ratings have been relatively stable and the series is performing relatively well by current NBC standards. I expect the network will renew Chicago Med for season three.
5/10/17 update: NBC has renewed Chicago Med for a third season. Details here.

Love this show, especially Oliver Platt.
PLEASE DO NOT EVER CANCEL CHICAGO MED & CHICAGO FIRE!!! I DO NOT miss these shows (also Chicago PD) but Chicago Fire & Med are THE BEST shows on tv! Wish they were all still on like they were last season! So please don’t ever cancel these shows!
Please do not cancel Chicago meds the show is great and should go on. I look forward to each different night to see chicago shows during the week
I love Chicago med, Chicago fire and Chicago pd. I love how they all work together. I would be sad if any of them were cancelled
Will Chicago Med start airing anytime soon? I keep watching for it, and still nothing!! After running all 3 Chicago’s Chicago Med is truly being missed!!
I have to admit if Chicago Med did not return would happily give up the channel, goes for Code Black too
Has to some reason to stay in the Neilson family
Missing the tri-fecta!!!! Can’t wait for next Chicago Med!!- I really like the combo of all three Chicagos!!!! Bring it back!!
I enjoy Chicago Med and have really missed it. I especially like when the other Chicago series characters go from one show to the other. I have missed it this season and hope it doesn’t get cancelled.
Please don’t cancel Chicago Med it addresses all emotions leaving you feeling good at the end. Chicago Med is 1 of 2 shows I truly enjoyed watching. I watched the other NBC Chicago shows because I’d be sure not to miss Chicago Med.
I like Chicago Med & I would miss it if it was canceled. Why should it be canceled? I liked it on Thursday night but if it wasn’t getting the audience then maybe Friday night at 8:00 Central. The show has relatable characters, there is humor, drama and I always had a smile at the end of the show.
