Chicago Med season 9 premieres on January 17, 2024 on NBC.

From Emmy Award-winning executive producer Dick Wolf (the “Law & Order,” “Chicago” and “FBI” brands), “Chicago Med” is an emotional thrill ride through the day-to-day chaos of the city’s newest state-of-the-art trauma center and into the lives of the courageous doctors, nurses and staff who hold it all together. Dr. Daniel Charles (Oliver Platt) remains the Sherlock Holmes of psychiatry and his past resurfaces with the addition of Dr. Mitch Ripley (Luke Mitchell), who joins the team as the new E.D. doctor and brings their complicated medical relationship from years ago back to the present. Sharon Goodwin (S. Epatha Merkerson), the venerable head of the city’s largest hospital, is under intense fiscal scrutiny to preserve the bottom line while continuing to ensure that all patients receive nothing short of quality care and compassion. She is given the unimaginable role of final decision maker for who will receive medical supplies and care when materials are scarce. Dr. Dean Archer (Steven Weber) is the talented but feisty chief at the helm of the E.D., who is tasked with running the city’s most trusted and busiest ER’s, while personally dealing with his own medical issues and his impending kidney transplant surgery. Maggie Lockwood (Marlyne Barrett), the charge nurse and eyes, ears and brain of the ER, is skilled and confident but finds herself dealing with profound marital issues of her own. Ace surgeon Dr. Crockett Marcel (Dominic Rains), the New Orleans-raised surgeon with a breezy manner, juggles the relentless work of an ER surgeon while serving as lead surgeon for Med’s revolutionary 2.0 surgical suite. Rounding out the group is Dr. Hannah Asher (Jessy Schram), an experienced attending who is the heart and soul of the center’s emergency OB/GYN service. Together they will confront Chicago’s most critical medical cases and challenging ethical dilemmas with courage, compassion and state-of-the-art treatment. Inspired by ripped-from-the-headlines cases, “Chicago Med” will weave cutting-edge medicine with the personal drama that comes with working in such a high-intensity environment. Through it all, familiar faces from “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D” will intertwine with Chicago’s finest medical heroes.
