“It’s tremendously impactful,” fellow showrunner Andrew Schneider says.
As for what else to expect from the season, Frolov previews a deeper dive into psychiatry.
“We’re exploring it a little bit more.
Charles [Oliver Platt] is going to have his own journey,” she says.
Furthermore, the show is interested in exploring supply chain shortages and how that will impact the hospital.
“So it really kind of becomes an issue for everybody coming together in the midst of this.”
Because if there’s one thingChicago Meddoesn’t need, it’s more chaos.
Chicago Fire
“There are roller coaters and then there are launch coasters.
This season’s a launch coaster,” co-showrunner Andrea Newman says ofChicago Fire’s return.
But don’t worry, the drama won’t last.
“We’re delving into marriage for Severide and Kidd this season,” Newman continues.
“For them, it’s really fun because things just get hotter.
They’re kind of unleashed, in a way.
We’re not shying away from the sort of heat between them.
If anything, we’re amping that up.”
“Decisions have to be made,” Newman says.
“I don’t think anything was definitive.
I mean, obviously it’s a struggle.
It’s a long-distance relationship and decisions need to be made.”
Chicago P.D.
Voight (Jason Beghe) is not in a good place.
“They’re sort of all in this interesting little triangle together,” Sigan says.
And it’s made more difficult by the fact that Upton is the one that pulled the trigger.
“He brings this fresh perspective on policing,” Sigan says.
