Chicago Med is getting a major change-up behind-the-scenes, with showrunners Diane Frolov and Andy Schneider exiting after nearly a decade.
The pair are set to depart after the end of the ongoing ninth season, having overseen the One Chicago medical drama since it began.
“We were honored to be chosen by Dick Wolf to run Chicago Med and have tremendously enjoyed our association with Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television,” they said in a statement (via TVLine).
“We love Chicago Med and have devoted all our creative energies to it, but after nine seasons we feel it’s time for us to move on and explore other possibilities.
“We’ve been privileged to work with a great writing staff, production team and a brilliant cast of actors. We will miss them all.”
The show’s executive producer Dick Wolf added: “We’re grateful to Diane and Andy for nine fabulous seasons of Chicago Med. They helped us give NBC a #1 bonafide hit for almost a decade.”
The news comes after Chicago Med and sister shows Chicago Fire and Chicago PD were all recently renewed for more seasons.
The showrunners’ departures aren’t the only recent Med exits, with cast members including Nick Gehlfuss and Brian Tee bowing out of the show as doctors Will Halstead and Ethan Choi, respectively, in season 8.
There have also been new additions, with Blindspot star Luke Mitchell recently joining season 9 as Dr Mitch Ripley.
In other Chicago universe news, Chicago Fire recently aired the exit of Rome Flynn as Derrick Gibson after one season.
