Chicago Med season 9 preview
NOTE: This article contains spoilers for Chicago Med season 8
Pushed back to January from its usual fall slot thanks to 2023's lengthy writers' strike, the shortened season 9 of Chicago Med finally had its premiere on January 17 to lead off NBC's popular 'Chicago Wednesday' television line-up.
As such, it looks likely that we'll get only 13 instalments from the Gaffney Chicago Medical Center instead of the usual 20+, but that will still be plenty to catch up with Sharon Goodwin (S. Epatha Merkerson), Dr. Daniel Charles (Oliver Platt) and co.
No spoilers for season 9 here, but it picked up after we left Gaffney on a bombshell as Dr. Will Halstead said his final goodbyes to colleagues as he left Chicago for Seattle. That left Dr. Dean Archer (Steven Weber) heading up the E.D. – probably not ideal with his focus more than a little distracted by his imminent kidney transplant operation.
New doctor Mitch Ripley (Luke Mitchell) was drafted in to ease the load, but will his troubled background exacerbate the problems? And what's that niggling feeling of familiarity that Dr. Charles has about his new colleague?
It's time to divert your Wednesday evenings back to Illinois, with Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. following after Chicago Med. To make sure you don't miss a moment – either as it goes out or later on catch-up – follow our guide to watch Chicago Med season 9 online and wherever you are. And you we have all the information on Chicago PD season 11 and Chicago Fire season 12 too.
