How many seasons are there of 'Chicago Med'?
'Chicago Med' is a medical drama streaming on NBC since November 17, 2015. 'Chicago Med' centers on the emergency department doctors and nurses of the Gaffney Chicago Medical Center. The premise of the long-running show is that it is a medical drama set in Chicago. 'Chicago Med' is the third series in Dick Wolf's Chicago franchise. Fun fact, the show has some really dramatic moments when it has crossover episodes with the other two series of the Chicago franchise, 'Chicago Fire' and 'Chicago P.D'.
In the last season, fans saw how the season ended on a tense note. There were major changes for the characters, and two of them, Dr Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) and Dr Dylan Scott (Guy Lockard), were left in a deadly situation. Trapped in a burning building is not an ideal way to spend an off-season. However, fans are still excited to see how it all pans out. Wondering how many seasons are there in this medical drama?
