Chicago Med season 11: Release date, cast and latest news
It's time to return to Gaffney Chicago Medical Center.
With the likes of Pulse, The Pitt and Grey's Anatomy, medical drama fans have never had more stellar shows at their fingertips. So, they'll be best pleased to learn that Chicago Med will be making a return with season 11 this week in the US, only further adding to the repertoire of hospital-based series.
The series was renewed along with the other One Chicago shows earlier this year by NBC, a fact that won't come as a surprise to any fans of the shows seeing as they continue to prove ever popular.
Continuing to follow the doctors and nurses of the Gaffney Chicago Medical Center's emergency ward, we're sure the 11th season will be just as great as its previous instalments. And there's even set to be the return of an OG cast member in the form of Nick Gehlfuss, who reprises his role as Dr Will Halstead.
But when is it due for release and who will return?
Read on for everything we know so far about Chicago Med season 11.
Chicago Med season 11 release date
Chicago Med will return with season 11 on Wednesday 1st October on NBC in the US at 8/7c, and will also be available to stream on Peacock the next day.
As of now, a UK release date hasn't been announced yet either but we can expect the series to land on Sky Witness and NOW when it does.
Chicago Med season 11 cast: Who will return?
While there haven't been any cast exits announced for Chicago Med, there is set to be one exciting return for one cast member. Nick Gehlfuss is set to return as Dr Will Halstead in a guest-starring role but it's unclear how many episodes he'll be in.
Gehlfuss obviously starred in the show since its inception in 2015, right up until the season 8 finale. So, it'll be a welcome homecoming for many fans.
The cast we'd expect to see return for season 11 are as follows.
- S Epatha Merkerson as Sharon Goodwin
- Oliver Platt as Dr Daniel Charles
- Marlyne Barrett as Maggie Lockwood
- Steven Weber as Dr Dean Archer
- Jessy Schram as Dr Hannah Asher
- Luke Mitchell as Dr Mitch Ripley
- Darren Barnet as Dr John Frost
- Sarah Ramos as Dr Caitlin Lenox
- Conor Perkins as Dr Zach Hudgins
- Henderson Wade as Dr Loren Johnson
What is Chicago Med season 11 about?
As is the usual format of the series, Chicago Med centres on the doctors and nurses at the Gaffney Chicago Medical Center's emergency ward. As well as the different cases unfolding each episode, another main draw of the series is the way it digs into the main characters and their personal lives.
The season 11 finale was certainly one for the books, with it being left on a major cliffhanger for many reasons. Lenox's biggest fears came true when she tested positive for rare prion disease, Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker (GSS), putting into question how she'll deal with the prognosis in these new episodes.
Hannah also found out she was pregnant but as to who could be the father, we're none the wiser just yet. As for what she'll decide to do, showrunner Allen MacDonald told TVLine: "I think that it’s too early to know that. I think that she’s just stunned, and she just needs to work that all out in her head."
There's also the small matter of Sharon and Dennis breaking up, with Dennis officially resigning from the hospital. There's plenty to dig into in the new season, so we'll just have to keep our eyes peeled for what will happen.
Is there a trailer for Chicago Med season 11?
Not yet! With Chicago Med set to return in the US later this year, we're sure a teaser or official trailer will land sooner than we think.
Chicago Med season 11 will premiere in the US on NBC on Wednesday 1st October. Season 10 and previous seasons are available to stream on NOW in the UK.
