‘Chicago Med’ Taps Darren Barnet and Sarah Ramos as Series Regulars for Season 10

The “Never Have I Ever” and “The Bear” stars join the cast following Dominic Rains’ exit

“Chicago Med” enlisted “Never Have I Ever” Darren Barnet and “The Bear” actress Sarah Ramos to join the cast of the NBC medical drama.

Barnet and Ramos will board the NBC procedural as series regulars when “Chicago Med” returns for Season 10 this fall, joining existing cast members S. Epatha Merkerson, Oliver Platt, Marlyne Barrett, Jessy Schram, Steven Weber and Luke Mitchell. Barnet is set to play Dr. John Frost and Ramos will be playing Dr. Caitlin Lenox.

The new additions follow the exit of series regular Dominic Rains, who has played emergency room surgeon Dr. Crockett Marcel since Season 5. It’s unclear whether Rains will return for a guest star role in the upcoming season.

“Chicago Med” co-showrunners Diane Frolov and Andy Schneider also departed their responsibilities after nine seasons earlier this spring, explaining they “feel it’s time for [them] to move on and explore other possibilities.” Allen MacDonald replaced the duo as showrunner for the upcoming season.

Best known for starring as Paxton Hall-Yoshida in Netflix series “Never Have I Ever,” Barnet has also appeared in “Anyone but You” opposite Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, as well as “Gran Turismo,” “Road House” and “Love Hard.” When it comes to voice acting, he has credits in “Blue Eyed Samurai,” “Skull Island,” “Jurassic World: Chaos Theory,” “Summit of the Gods” and “Sumarai Rabbit.”

The “Chicago” franchise has also added several actors to its other series, including Dermot Mulroney, who will play Chief Dom Pascal in “Chicago Fire.” Mulroney will take the baton after Eamonn Walker, who played Battalion Chief Wallace Boden since the show’s start, exited as a series regular after 12 seasons.
