NBC has already renewed Chicago Fire (season five) and Chicago PD (season four) for the 2016-17 season. Now, the peacock network has renewed their third windy city series, Chicago Med, for a second season.
Chicago Med is set at the city’s new state-of-the-art trauma center. It revolves around the doctors, nurses, and staff members who treat the most severe trauma cases. The ensemble cast includes Oliver Platt, S. Epatha Merkerson, Nick Gehlfuss, Yaya DaCosta, Colin Donnell, Brian Tee, Torrey DeVitto, Rachel DiPillo, Carl Lumbly, Julie Berman, Brennan Brown, and Marlyne Barrett.
The series debuted on November 17th to a 2.16 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.64 million viewers. The ratings dropped over the course of the next six episodes (particularly once the fall edition of The Voice concluded) but it remains the network’s most-watched scripted series (per the season averages).
Word is that there may be a fourth Chicago-based drama next season. Series creator Dick Wolf has signed a new deal with NBC and Chicago Law is already in development.
NBC also renewed Wolf’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit today, for an 18th season.
What do you think? Do you like the Chicago med TV show? Are you glad that it’s been renewed for a second season or, do you think it should have been cancelled instead?
Please keep chicago med on.. and how come its not on tonight 11/17/2016 i look forward to Thursday nights cause i get to watcg greys and then chicago med. Really disapointed its no on.
This is a great show. I love medical shows and this one has all the elements of a great show. The cast is very good, anchored by Oliver Plat and S Epatha Meridian.
Wow Really NBC, u r bringing back at least one of my favorite shows! Thank u for bringing this show back! I am so happy looking forward too the second season!
Chicago Med is the best show on TV now, including cable shows. Great characters, excellent story line, effective score. Always gets me emotional, week after week
I really like Chicago Med. Especially since it intertwines with Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. I think this is one of the best roles Oliver Platt has ever done!!
I like Chicago Med a lot. Especially since the members of Chicago Fire and Chicago PD appear in it. I just wish it was not so gory. I don’t think it is necessary to show every bit of an operation. I don’t like when I have to turn my head away when watching a TV program. I love the characters in the show. The goriness in the show is my only complaint.
We love Chicago Med. It’s a great addition to Chicago Med and Chicago PD. I’m very glad it’s been renewed. Why isn’t it showing now? When will it be back? Heartbeat is starting in its place on my station as of 3/22/16.
I love Chicago Med, I am thrilled it has been renewed!
I am hooked on Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. – thank you for renewing them.
