Despite slipping some during season two, the Chicago Med TV show was never in danger of being cancelled. The third member of Dick Wolf’s Chicago TV series franchise remained a top 10 demo performer and was the third most-watched scripted NBC TV show in the 2016-17 television season. It seems this third season is just what the doctor ordered, but will the ratings stay strong? Could Chicago Med be cancelled or is it certain to be renewed for season four? Stay tuned. *Update below.
An NBC medical drama, Chicago Med stars Nick Gehlfuss, Torrey DeVitto, Colin Donnell, Norma Kuhling, Oliver Platt, Rachel DiPillo, Brian Tee, S. Epatha Merkerson, Yaya DaCosta, Marlyne Barrett, and Norma Kuhling. Mekia Cox and Roland Buck III guest star. The story follows the doctors, nurses, and staff of the state of the art Gaffney Chicago Medical Center. As a team, they rise to the Windy City’s most urgent medical challenges while working through confounding ethical quandaries. The series also features crossovers with Chicago Fire and Chicago PD.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

I will not watch this show anymore after the antivaccination OUTBURST that we just saw on the most recent episode! NBC, what does it feel like to be so judgmental and feel so superior? By the way, have the writers of this fictional show or the actress who set the dad and the unvaccinated son “right” done their “due diligence” and looked at the research which the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) has to offer? Call Barbara Loe Fisher there. Consider being informed. Stop your fear mongering
This show is one of the most realistic medical show out there (behind Scrubs), therefore, this show is much more respectable. In regards to your “problem”, I agree with the show. You “people” endanger communities. Shame on You!
I DID enjoy watching this series,but after the language on tonights episode (using the Lords name in vain) I turned it off and will not watch again.
Absolutely Renew
.love this and all Chicago series
