A change is coming at the helm of Chicago Med: after nine seasons, co-showrunners Diane Frolov and Andy Schneider will step down at the end of the season.
The duo led the Dick Wolf series to nine successful seasons on NBC. The series has continually won its 8 p.m. Wednesday time period by averaging more than 10.5 million viewers.
“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,” said Frolic and Schneider in a joint statement. “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.”
“We’re grateful to Diane and Andy for nine fabulous seasons of Chicago Med,” continued Wolf in a statement. “They helped us give NBC a No. 1 bonafide hit for almost a decade.”
Chicago Med is produced by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
Frolov and Schneider are repped by WME.
