Chicago Med hiatus: When does the show return and what should fans expect from the next new episode?
Chicago Med is still on an extended spring hiatus as the show takes a break before racing toward the season finale.
Some fans may already be upset that the One Chicago shows have taken such a long break during April, but new episodes are on the horizon.
As a reminder, two Hollywood strikes paused the production of the NBC dramas. It delayed the new seasons from premiering for many months.
When the shows finally returned in January, Chicago Med fans were reminded that Dr. Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) had left the show.
Dr. Halstead’s final episode was the Season 8 finale, where he quit working at the hospital and traveled to Seattle. When he got off the plane, he was greeted by Dr. Natalie Manning (Torrey DeVitto) and her daughter.
Several new doctors have joined the fold on the Chicago Med cast this season, adding some freshness to the show.

The Bear‘s third season may have yet to hit your TV screens, but rumors of a fourth season are already swirling as filming on additional episodes is supposedly taking place in Chicago. According to Deadline, the series about chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) and his ragtag kitchen team comprised of Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), Marcus (Lionel Boyce), Tina (Liza Colón-Zayas), Fak (Matty Matheson), and more will be back for another chapter after the forthcoming season slated to arrive this June. (Credit: Chuck Hodes/FX) Season 3 of the FX series that streams exclusively on Hulu was picked up in November 2023, and filming began earlier this year in Chicago. Filming back-to-back isn’t an uncommon strategy, especially as the superstar cast becomes busier with other projects. But considering Atlanta was FX’s last show to follow this filming schedule, some people are speculating that Season 4 could be The Bear‘s last.

If you haven’t yet seen Ebon Moss-Bachrach in all his on-screen glory, you may have at least heard people define The Bear‘s season 2, episode 7, ‘Forks,’ as one of the best things to have graced the screen in television history.
That’s why, amid an array of ‘Cousin’ jokes, there’s a legitimate reason why the Emmy-winning sensation casting as Ben Grimm/The Thing has taken the internet by storm. Marvel Studios’ recent unveiling of the faces slated to portray the beloved superhero quartet in The Fantastic Four has led many to explain why the 46-year-old actor’s selection for this particular role makes ample sense.
And it has something to do with a similarity Moss-Bachrach’s upcoming superhero stint may find with his character Richie’s arc in Christopher Storer’s uber-acclaimed comedy-drama series.

FX is cooking and viewers are going to enjoy what they’re serving as the network’s chairman John Landgraf revealed at the Television Critics Association press tour that Season 3 of The Bear will officially arrive on Hulu this June. The Emmy-winning series follows chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) as he transforms his late brother Mikey’s (Jon Bernthal) sandwich shop into a fine dining restaurant with the help of fellow culinary expert Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), his “cousin” Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and a rag-tag team of kitchen workers. (Credit: Chuck Hodes/FX) Created by Christopher Storer, the series was recently awarded its first batch of Emmys as White, Edebiri, Moss-Bachrach, and the show overall received accolades at the 75th annual event. Along with the show’s critical praise, fans have devoured episode after episode of the streaming series since its Season 1 debut in 2022. When the show’s Season 3 renewal was announced,...

Whether it’s the conclusion of juggernaut hits or new shows that sparked conversation, the television medium delivered in 2023.
The anticipated adaptation of “Daisy Jones & the Six” kept us dancing (and crying) in the spring, while the brilliantly devastating conclusion of “Succession” left us catching our breath in May. “The Last of Us” reminded us of the real emotional stakes of a zombie apocalypse, and Netflix’s “Beef” showed us the depths a person can go to when seeking retribution.
The historic Hollywood double strikes delayed the returns of our favorite broadcast series in the fall, but streaming series like “The Buccaneers” and “The Curse,” and linear hits like “The Golden Bachelor” and “Fargo” kept us glued to our screens this year.

Before handing over the long sought-after murder weapon, Trennell (Joseph Anthony Byrd) asks Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) a simple question: “You sure you can use it?” Can Raylan take this gun, a gun that could’ve saved Sweety (Vondie Curtis Hall) on more than one occasion, and use it to, if not avenge his death, then bring his killer to justice? Raylan says he can. He’s sure he can. Except, by the end of Episode 7, “The Smoking Gun,” that firearm isn’t locked up in an evidence locker or even held by law enforcement. It’s at the bottom of a river. And how it got there neatly sums up Raylan’s continued frustrations with the maddening depths of a labyrinthine Detroit legal system.
Of course, the most straightforward use comes and goes the quickest. Raylan turns the gun over to Maureen Downey (Marin Ireland), as he should,...

He knows what’s been done and who did it. He knows where to find the man he’s looking for. And yet, try as he might, Raylan can’t seem to keep the cuffs on his bounty.

This story about Jeremy Allen White first appeared in the Down to the Wire: Comedy issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine. All actor interviews in that issue were conducted before the SAG-AFTRA strike began.
Jeremy Allen White has become one of TV’s most beloved figures since last June, when a little show called “The Bear,” about the machinations of an inherited Italian beef sandwich shop, made its quiet debut on FX on Hulu. The eight episodes quickly took hold of viewers in the early summer, becoming endlessly quotable (“corner!”) and debatable (what about those tomato cans?). Before long, White, best known for growing up before our very eyes as Phillip “Lip” Gallagher on Showtime’s “Shameless,” became a household name.
White’s Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, the sensitive, tousled-haired, classically trained chef saddled with the responsibility of overseeing his late brother’s restaurant in Chicago, launched countless think pieces...

Heading into “City Primeval’s” second half, two Episode 5 conversations — neither, ostensibly, about the case at hand — provide a little something extra to chew on. The first savory chat takes place as Sweety (Vondie Curtis Hall) and Clement (Boyd Holbrook) wait for Bulldozer Burt’s (David Cross) lawncare workers to punch out for the day, so they can blackmail their first mark from the late Judge Guy’s little black book. As they sit idle, without music blasting (for once), Sweety remembers a time many years ago when he was roused from a sound slumber for the right reasons. His friend wanted him to come jam with Miles Davis! Sweety hustled over and did just that, slapping da bass until 6 a.m. “No chit chat, mother fucker just played,” Sweety says about Miles. But the jazz legend did share a few choice words with the future bartender.

Justified: City Primeval Pictured:Boyd Holbrook as Clement Mansell. Cr: Chuck Hodes/FX One of the things that drew fans to the original Justified series was that the battles between good and evil were fair fights — there were bad guys who definitely gave the show’s good guy, Timothy Olyphant’s U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, a run for his money. In the new sequel series, Justified: City Primeval, Boyd Holbrook has been given the task of being the show’s new antagonist, and he told us he found the idea daunting, but that the script did a lot of the work for him.

After Justified ended its six-season run in 2015, Timothy Olyphant figured he was saying goodbye to the role of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens forever. But here we are, eight years later, and the Justified universe has been resurrected for the new miniseries Justified: City Primeval. Though Olyphant is the only returning member of the original series’ s main cast, the sequel does take place in the same “show universe” as the original, and he told us that assurance was good enough for him to want to get on board the project.

The original “Justified,” developed by Graham Yost from Elmore Leonard’s book, “Fire in the Hole,” stands the test of time for several reasons. Its case-per-season approach makes each new investigation as accessible as it is arresting. Its star, U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant), is a classic cowboy in a modern world, not always bucking against the trends but still stubbornly adhering to his own sense of right and wrong. Olyphant’s soft drawl and charming fortitude — peppered with terse quips and curt advice — go a long way on their own, though any assessment of “Justified” must give equal weight to Boyd Crowder, embodied with iconic verbosity and verve by the great Walton Goggins.
For six seasons, “Justified” thrived as a two-hander; it wasn’t that Raylan and Boyd were always on opposite sides, so much as their lives ran in such consistent parallel to one another that...

Season two of FX’s “The Bear” saw no shortage of guest stars, and some heavy-hitting ones at that. So, series star Jeremy Allen White already has at least one idea of who he’d like to see in season three: Sam Rockwell.
Throughout this season of the show, now streaming on Hulu, fans were treated to appearances from Olivia Colman, Will Poulter, Sarah Paulson, and even Jamie Lee Curtis, who showed up as Carmy’s (White) mother, Donna. So, when we put him on the spot, White was temporarily stumped — but only temporarily.
“Oh, man. Oh, man, it’s so hard,” he told TheWrap. “You know who I love, and I’ve always loved so much, is Sam Rockwell, and I feel like he would fit somehow into the world. Like a buddy of Ebon [Moss-Bachrach, who plays Richie], or something. You know, I feel like he would really, I don’t know.

If “The Bear” Season 2 proved anything, it’s that our man Carmy Berzatto desperately needs some therapy. And apparently series star Jeremy Allen White has debated getting him there — even though he doesn’t think it’ll happen onscreen.
The second season of the FX dramedy saw Carmy (White) and his colleagues working at a breakneck pace in an effort to open their new restaurant. Of course, it became abundantly clear in Season 1 that Carmy has some hang-ups to work through in order to do that, and those struggles only escalated this time around.
We do actually see him speaking in some kind of group-share setting in one episode, but it isn’t really explained or explored further. At this point, White believes that Carmy could use the help therapy provides — and he’s actually gone so far as considering taking him there himself while still in character.
“It’s so interesting.

The new FX limited series “Justified: City Primeval” is a fish-out-of-water story featuring a long, lanky fish in a Stetson hat. His name is Raylan Givens, and you might know him from “Justified,” the FX crime series that made itself at home in the hollers of Kentucky among white supremacists and other Southern miscreants from 2010 to 2015. Played by Timothy Olyphant with a smooth gait and seen-it-all demeanor, Deputy U.S. Marshal Givens, created by the unmatchable crime fiction writer Elmore Leonard, now finds himself in Detroit, where a maniac is sowing chaos, a dirty judge has been murdered and the rules of engagement are as wild as the West ever was.
But if Raylan is new to the criminal ways of Motor City, Leonard, who died in 2013, most certainly wasn’t. This was his home, and the setting for much of his most memorable work. He knew the crooks and the crooked cops,...

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for “The Bear” Season 2, Episode 7, “Forks.“]
Sometimes, it’s hard just to wake up. Some of the best moments in “The Bear” (particularly in Season 2) do such an effective job of detailing all the steps that even get you to the crucible. A key part of the prologue in Episode 7 “Forks” is watching the city wake up along with Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach). Some creative pursuits (especially ones as part of a team) are all-day endeavors.
That tracks with what “The Bear” is at its heart: a seasons-long food metaphor for the very show you’re watching. It’s no coincidence that the series and the restaurant share a name. Everyone involved is working together in a kitchen, but nearly every detail has its TV storytelling analogue. (The giant wall calendar that looms over Season 2 is both production checklist and a collection of story beats.) So when Richie gets sent to Ever...

“The Bear” isn’t giving up its crown as one of TV’s most stressful shows.
In Season 2, the FX “comedy” cranks up the ante with Episode 6, “Fishes,” an hourlong flashback to Christmas at the Berzattos written by Joanna Calo and creator Christopher Storer. Complete with jaw-dropping guest stars, top-tier family drama, and a fork scene so acutely distressing it will leave the viewer scared to eat for days, it’s not only the best of “The Bear” but some of 2023’s best TV so far.
It’s time for cozy Christmas in the perennially wintry Chicago of “The Bear,” as Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) comes home for the holidays with a gigantic chip on his shoulder. He’s not the only one though; the entire extended Berzatto-Jeremovich-Fak community knows that Carm has better places to be, and he’s barely hiding it. He’s reluctant to help mother Donna...

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “The Bear” Season 2, including the ending.]
Richie’s arc in “The Bear” Season 2 is at once the most practical and the most endearing. Prompted by last season’s near-manslaughter scare and buoyed by Olivia Colman’s Episode 7 assurance that it’s “never too late to start over,” Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s character, who was once an obstinate obstacle to change, transforms into a definitive new man. Richie’s reading leads him to realize he doesn’t have a particular set of skills, or otherwise irreplaceable function at work, and if he’s going to provide for his daughter, then he needs a reliable source of income, preferably one that will bring a little happiness, too — whether The Bear succeeds or not.
With a little nudge from Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) and a lot of patience from the good folks at Ever, he recognizes that source. He steps up. He finds his purpose.

“The Bear” : (l-r) Jeremy Allen White as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, Ayo Edebiri as Sydney Adamu. Cr: Chuck Hodes/FX. The Bear has accomplished something amazing: Both the show’s first season and its new second season have achieved perfect “100% fresh” scores on the Rotten Tomatoes website. That’s something only a handful of shows — most recently Hacks — have been able to claim. The show’s creator, Christopher Storer — who also writes, directs, and is an executive producer on the series — told us what he wanted to accomplish with The Bear’s second season. (Click on the media bar below to hear Christopher Storer) https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Bear.mp3 The Bear is currently streaming on Hulu.

There’s a convenient little portrait of exactly how “The Bear” has progressed, and what it’s pulled off, in the first shot of the Season 2 finale. The episode opens with a virtuosic, 12-minute long take that is, intentionally, a rejoinder to the 18-minute single take from the first season’s penultimate episode. Whereas the Season 1 shot maneuvered through the crumbling hellscape that is the sandwich shop known as The Beef, this one weaves through the carefully controlled chaos and polished corners of the newly opened, high-end establishment The Bear.
That juxtaposition is the easy answer to what the sophomore season of “The Bear” is about, as Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney (Ayo Edibiri), and the ragtag Beef crew pick up right from where we left off and get to building an ambitious new restaurant.
But in a season that is in many ways a complete, daring reinvention of “The Bear” — remarkably,...

The first season of “The Bear” opens with an invitation to chaos, before tossing you into the anarchic party itself. Carm (Jeremy Allen White) is asleep, dreaming that he’s on a bridge in the Chicago loop, where he opens a bear cage to release, what else, a live, snarling, somewhat perturbed brown bear. When he wakes up, it’s time to cook. The restaurant he inherited from his late brother Michael (Jon Bernthal) beckons, and Carm has to serve up the signature beef while putting out figurative and literal fires left and right. It’s chaos compounded with chaos, or to use a cooking metaphor: He’s out of the frying pan and into the fire.
“The Bear” Season 2 opens in silence. Well, near silence. Rather than the clicking of a gas stove flickering to life, there’s the methodical beep of a heart monitor. Marcus (Lionel Boyce) is looking over his mother,...

Why is Fox‘s new show Empire extremely likely to win them good ratings? Because there seems to be no depth of reality television that won’t get people to watch. Except for Fox‘s own grand-scale effort, Utopia, which unfortunately only focused on several, specific stupid people, and not stupidity as a lifestyle.
If you’re curious about what’s in store for you, imagine that instead of a new reality show featuring the Kardashians, we instead created a scripted show which follows the life of… let’s say, “a similar family,” only we take a few outlandish liberties with reality… such as giving one of the Kardashian sisters a pimp, or a record for stabbing a paparazzi… or whatever.

Chicago – Pardon the obvious metaphors, but when you name a show “Hung” and feature a motivational speech about the lead character finding “his tool,” it’s damn-near impossible not to fall into the same pattern. Despite a clever set-up and talented cast, the new HBO comedy starring Thomas Jane, Jane Adams, and Anne Heche is missing that spark, that chemistry that elevates an experience from being just another TV one-night stand.
Television Rating: 3.0/5.0 “Hung” uses male sexuality to comment on the state of the economy today. What is the one thing they can’t take away from the unemployed, divorced, miserable modern man? His enormous pecker.
