When Season 8 of Chicago Med ended, fans saw the series regulars leave and live happily ever after. Dr. Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) is no longer on the show, but that doesn't mean fans are any less eager to see what's going on at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center. He has to sell the hospital because billionaire Jack Deighton (Sasha Roiz) has ruined his hospital's reputation and his own bank account with his OR 2.0. That means there will be another change in management.
After a long fall without any new One Chicago programming, we finally have a premiere date for Chicago Med season 9. Here, we discuss when Chicago Med will return, who is expected to appear in Season 9, and what we know so far.
