Chicago Med Season 10:- Are you a fan of Chicago Med, the medical drama series that follows the lives and challenges of the staff at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center? If so, you must be eagerly waiting for the next season of the show, which has been running for nine seasons since 2015.
But will there be a Chicago Med Season 10? When will it premiere? Who will be in the cast? What will be the storyline? And where can you watch it? In this article, we will answer all these questions and more, based on the information we have so far. Let’s get started!
Will There Be a Chicago Med Season 10?
The good news is that Chicago Med Season 10 is very likely to happen, although it has not been officially confirmed yet by NBC. The show is part of the One Chicago franchise, created by Dick Wolf and Matt Olmstead, which also includes Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D.
The franchise has been a huge success for NBC, dominating its Wednesday night lineup and attracting millions of viewers. Chicago Med, in particular, has been praised for its realistic portrayal of the medical field, its diverse and talented cast, and its balance between procedural and personal stories. The show has a 7.6/10 rating on IMDb and a 75% average audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The last renewal order from NBC involved all three One Chicago shows, as well as Wolf’s Law & Order franchise, for three more seasons each. This means that Chicago Med was renewed up to Season 9, which premiered on January 17, 2024, after being delayed due to the Hollywood strikes of 2023. However, given the popularity and longevity of the show, it is very likely that NBC will renew it for Season 10 and beyond, along with the rest of the franchise. We expect an official announcement to come soon, so stay tuned for updates.
When Will Chicago Med Season 10 Premiere?
If Chicago Med Season 10 is confirmed, we can expect it to premiere sometime in late 2025 or early 2026, depending on the production schedule and the network’s programming. The show usually follows a September-to-May cycle, airing on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
However, due to the pandemic and the strikes, the show’s ninth season was pushed back to January 2024, and the tenth season may also face some delays. However, we hope that the show will resume its normal schedule and return to our screens as soon as possible.
