What is the plot of Chicago Med?
The broad plot of Chicago Med is that fans follow the day-to-day chaos of Chicago’s newest state-of-the-art trauma center, as well as the lives of the doctors, nurses and staff who make it go.
As for what we can expect heading into season seven, here is the official synopsis from NBC:
“Dr. Will Halstead finds his career as an emergency medicine physician in jeopardy, following his cover-up involving a serious ethics violation. Dr. Daniel Charles remains the Sherlock Holmes of psychiatry. Sharon Goodwin, 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. Dr. Ethan Choi, a former Navy flight surgeon and chief of the E.D., begins the season in recovery mode after being shot by a former patient. Now it's up to the blunt but talented Dr. Dean Archer to show what he's made of as interim chief at the helm of Chicago's trusted and busiest ER. Maggie Lockwood, the charge nurse and eyes, ears and brain of the ER, is skilled and confident but finds herself dealing with profound family issues of her own. Ace surgeon Dr. Crockett Marcel, the New Orleans-raised surgeon with a breezy manner, has finally started to let his guard down, earning the respect of his colleagues. And now two new doctors have joined the E.D. family. Dr. Stevie Hammer is a brilliant, scrappy emergency medicine doctor with a surprising past and Dr. Dylan Scott is an ex-cop who's doing a dual residency in emergency medicine and pediatrics.”
Who is in the Chicago Med cast?
Two main cast members exited Chicago Med after its sixth season — Yaya DaCosta, who played April Sexton, and Torrey DeVitto, who starred as Natalie Manning. Both of which were with Chicago Med since the beginning
While two actors exited Chicago Med, two are coming in, as NBC has cast Kristen Hager (Wanted, Being Human, Gotham) as Dr. Stevie Hammer, a brilliant, scrappy emergency medical doctor with a surprising past, and Guy Lockard (Bull, The Village) as Dr. Dylan Scott, an ex-cop who’s doing a dual residency in emergency medicine and pediatrics.
The rest of Chicago Med’s main cast remains in place, consisting of:
Oliver Platt - Dr. Daniel Charles
S. Epatha Merkerson - Sharon Goodwin
Nick Gehlfuss - Dr. Will Halstead
Brian Tee - Dr. Ethan Choi
Marlyne Barrett - Maggie Lockwood
Dominic Rains - Dr. Crockett Marcel
Will there be a Chicago-series crossover episode?
There have been four official crossovers between Chicago Fire, Chicago Med and Chicago P.D. since 2015, occurring in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019.
After skipping a crossover event in the 2020-2021 season (likely impacted by the pandemic), there is a high expectation that fans will get one this season. Though nothing has officially been announced by NBC, Chicago Fire showrunner Derek Hass told TVLine in an interview that they’ve been brainstorming ideas.
Even when the shows don’t directly interconnect with a singular story, you will get the occasional character from one show popping up briefly in another.
