Last season, Chicago Med was the highest-rated scripted series on NBC. It’s highly unlikely that this long-running series will be cancelled and season 12 looks like a sure thing. How many cast members will remain on the show seems to be the more pertinent question. At some point, do cast departures negatively affect the ratings? Stay tuned.
A medical drama series, the Chicago Med TV show stars S. Epatha Merkerson, Oliver Platt, Steven Weber, Jessy Schram, Luke Mitchell, Sarah Ramos, and Darren Barnet. Nick Gehlfuss and Torrey DeVitto recur. The story follows the doctors, nurses, and staff of the city’s state-of-the-art trauma center, Gaffney Chicago Medical Center, through the chaos of their day-to-day lives. They confront the Windy City’s most critical medical cases as a team and challenge ethical dilemmas with courage, compassion, and cutting-edge medicine. The series, which weaves cutting-edge medicine with the personal drama of working in a high-intensity environment, sometimes features crossovers with Chicago Fire and Chicago PD.
