NBC’s Chicago Med has two new doctors joining the fold in Season 10: Sarah Ramos (Parenthood, The Bear) and Darren Barnet (Never Have I Ever, Road House). The new season begins Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 8 p.m. on NBC and next day on Peacock.
Ramos will play Dr. Caitlin Lenox and Barnet will play Dr. John Frost in series regular roles. Sources reveal to Deadline, Lenox is an ED Attending poised to get Gaffney Medical into shape. Frost is a pediatric resident who is harboring a secret.
Season 10 will also welcome a new showrunner, Allen MacDonald, following the departures of veterans Diane Frolov and Andy Schneider.
Chicago Med follows the emotional day-to-day chaos of the city’s newest state-of-the-art trauma center and the lives of the doctors, nurses and staff who hold it all together.
The addition of Ramos and Barnet to the cast follows the recent announcement that Dominic Rains was exiting the series. It’s as yet unknown if he will reprise the role of ER surgeon Dr. Crockett Marcel in Season 10 to wrap up his story.
As Deadline revealed exclusively last month, S. Epatha Merkerson, Oliver Platt and Marlyne Barrett all closed new deals to remain on the hit medical drama series. Emmy winner Merkerson plays Sharon Goodwin, the chief administrator of Gaffney Chicago Medical Center. Platt plays Dr. Daniel Charles, chief of the psychiatry department. Barrett plays Maggie Lockwood, charge nurse of the emergency department.
Jessy Schram, Steven Weber and Luke Mitchell also star.
The series is executive produced by Dick Wolf, Allen MacDonald, Stephen Hootstein and Peter Jankowski. Chicago Med is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Wolf Entertainment.
