Where to watch Chicago Med season 11?
Chicago Med season 11 will be a major milestone for the One Chicago universe as it celebrates its 200th episode this season. Although the actual episode number hasn't been officially confirmed, the show typically releases around 20–22 episodes per season.
The initial episode will be broadcast on NBC. The broadcast network will keep its usual One Chicago launch going by broadcasting new episodes weekly on Wednesdays at 8 pm ET. For those without a cable subscription to NBC, the episodes can be seen through various online live TV providers like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, or FuboTV.
Episodes will also be available to stream the following day on Peacock. Subscribers can opt for either an ad-supported version for $5.99/month or an ad-free version for $11.99/month. Bundle discounts and student pricing are also available via Peacock.
What to expect from Chicago Med season 11?
Chicago Med season 11 is set to explore deeper into the lives of Dr. Hannah Asher, Dr. Ripley, Dr. Marcel, Sharon Goodwin, and others as they work through new professional and personal issues. Viewers can look forward to the hospital experiencing even more strain from internal budgeting stress and changing leadership issues, especially with Sharon Goodwin dealing with administrative pressures.
In a recent press junket, showrunner Allen MacDonald opened up about what fans could expect from Dr. Will Halstead in the coming season.
"When I started this job, I went back and I watched all the episodes, and I fell in love with Dr. Will Halstead very quickly. He was one of the characters I knew that I wanted to bring back. It took some time and some working out, but we have brought him back. It's for more than one episode. He is stopping by Gaffney to visit old friends with Owen, and that's all I'm comfortable saying right now," he said, as published on September 29, 2025, by CinemaBlend.
Though Nick Gehlfuss will return as Dr. Will Halstead, longtime cast member Marlyne Barrett will be exiting the series for personal reasons. The first episode is said to feature a dramatic medical crisis when a boy named Hudson Collins, following a traumatic incident, becomes a key character to tie together past and present plots.
Chicago Med season 11 is set to premiere on NBC on October 1, 2025.
