Chicago Med season 8 rumors: Is Chicago Med really canceled?

A recent online rumor has some wondering whether Chicago Med has been canceled, but is there any truth to the rumor, or is Chicago Med season 8 happening?

Recently, Showbiz Cheatsheet ran an article speculating over the odds of Chicago Med being the second One Chicago drama to come to an end citing fan speculation over the show’s future as the root of the report.

While the article seemed to be designed as a reaction piece to fan speculation, some on social media have since been questioning the fate of the show and whether season 7 might actually be its last.

Is Chicago Med canceled?

Although Showbiz Cheatsheet‘s initial report seems to want to write Chicago Med off in trying to make it seem like it’s only a matter of when, not if the show will be canceled, the truth is there have been no indications that Med is in danger of being canceled by NBC anytime soon. And the show most definitely has not been canceled.

Seven years into its run, the series remains one of the network’s top dramas and is part of one of the most successful franchises on television. And while there has been some change in season 7, those changes have been for the better with many championing the season as one of the show’s best in recent years.

Is Chicago Med renewed for season 8?

Not only is Chicago Med not canceled, but Chicago Med season 8 has already been ordered by NBC as part of the show’s three-season pickup.

Season 8 is the final season in the multi-year renewal NBC handed out in early 2020, meaning we’ll have to wait to see what the future will hold for Chicago Med and its sister series, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. While season 8 is the final season under the multi-season renewal, we have a feeling NBC will look to extend Chicago Med‘s run — the real question will be by how many seasons when the time comes.

Chicago Med season 8 release date

At this time, NBC has not yet announced when Chicago Med season 8 will premiere but we do know the season will air as part of the 2022-23 season. Barring any unexpected changes, Chicago Med should once again air as part of NBC’s fall line-up meaning season 8 should premiere sometime in September 2022.
