Chicago Med Season 11 returns to the TV screens next Wednesday. The popular medical drama has kept audiences hooked to their screens for a decade ever since it premiered on NBC in November 2015. Since then, the Dick Wolf series has managed to stay on air despite the cast changes. It must be noted that Chicago Med is a part of the Chicago franchise, and therefore shares continuity with Chicago Fire, Chicago Justice, and Chicago P.D.

Considering that we have a release date, it seems that the wait for the eleventh season of the Chicago franchise's medical drama is minuscule. You can catch the Chicago Med Season 11 premiere on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, and the other episodes will air on NBC weekly every Wednesday.


Chicago Med Season 11 release date:

The eleventh season will air on NBC at 8/7c PM on October 1, 2025. However, the airtime of the episode will not be the same across the globe. The release time of the episode depends on your geographical location and time zone. Therefore, if you are not a U.S. citizen, you can't catch the episode at the aforementioned time. If that's the case, this is when you can catch the first episode of Chicago Med Season 11:

  1. Eastern Standard Time: 08:00 PM, October 1, 2025
  2. Central Time: 07:00 PM October 1, 2025
  3. Pacific Standard Time: 05:00 PM, October 1, 2025

  7. Australian Eastern Standard Time: 10:00 AM, October 2, 2025

How to catch the entirety of Chicago Med Season 11?

As mentioned earlier, the eleventh season will air on NBC from October 1, 2025. However, if you failed to catch any episode on live TV, it will be streamed simultaneously on Peacock or a streaming platform available in your country. Therefore, make sure that you have a subscription to the OTT platform that has the show.


Who stars in Chicago Med Season 11?

Here are some actors who are returning in the eleventh season of Chicago Med:

  1. Oliver Platt: Dr. Daniel Charles
  2. Darren Barnet: Dr. John Frost
  3. S. Epatha Merkerson: Sharon Goodwin
  4. Luke Mitchell: Dr. Mitch Ripley
  5. Steven Weber: Dr. Dean Archer
  6. Sarah Ramos: Dr. Caitlin Lennox
  7. Jessy Schram: Dr. Hannah Asher
  8. Nick Gehlfuss: Dr. Will Halstead (guest role)

However, there is one cast member who is not returning in the upcoming 11th season.


Marlyne Barrett will not be returning in the eleventh season:

Actress Marlyne Barrett played Maggie Lockwood in the medical drama from the very first season of the series. However, a month ago, Deadline reported that season 10 was her last appearance as Maggie Lockwood for now. Personal reasons were cited behind her exit. It should also be noted that Barrett was diagnosed with a health complication a few years ago as well.

It remains to be seen if she appears in a guest role in the future, like another actor from season 1.


Nick Gehlfuss returns as Dr. Will Halstead in a guest role:

A month ago, it was confirmed that actor Nick Gehlfuss, who had played Dr. Will Halstead between seasons 1 and eight, will return in the eleventh season. However, his role this season is that of a guest star rather than one of the main roles. At the time of his exit, Gehlfuss said this in a 2023 Variety interview:

“It was a difficult decision, but ultimately, I felt I’d taken Dr. Halstead as far as I can go with him. I think that comes down to a creative part of you, or the energy or spirit you have that you’re either built for a very long time with one person or not. I am attracted to the profession for the variety in it, and eight years is a long time. It’s two college degrees! I’m joking now that I basically have a doctorate in television.”

Thus, the people working on the upcoming season of Chicago Med have managed to balance the loss of one cast member with the return of another one.


As we wait for Chicago Med Season 11, binge the previous ten seasons of the medical drama on Peacock.
