Chicago Med
Executive producer Dick Wolf delivers the newest installment of the compelling “Chicago” franchise, an emotional thrill ride through the day-to-day chaos of the city’s most explosive hospital and the courageous team of doctors who hold it together. They will tackle unique new cases inspired by topical events, forging fiery relationships in the pulse-pounding pandemonium of the emergency room, and through it all, familiar faces from the Chicago police and fire departments will intertwine as this third team of Chicago heroes hits the ground running. Chicago Fire creators Derek Haas and Michael Brandt will write and executive-produce with Matt Olmstead and Dick Wolf. Cast: Yaya DaCosta, S. Epatha Merkerson, Oliver Platt, Laurie Holden.
Blindspot
From executive producer Greg Berlanti (“Arrow,” “The Flash,” “The Mysteries of Laura”) comes “Blindspot”: A vast international plot explodes when a beautiful Jane Doe is discovered naked in Times Square, completely covered in mysterious, intricate tattoos with no memory of who she is or how she got there. There’s one that’s very clear, however: the name of FBI agent Kurt Weller, emblazoned across her back. “Jane,” Agent Weller and rest of the FBI quickly realize that each mark on her body is a crime to solve, leading them closer to the truth about her identity and the mysteries to be revealed. Martin Gero will write and executive-produce with Greg Berlanti. Cast: Jaimie Alexander, Sullivan Stapleton, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Ashley Johnson, Rob Brown, Audrey Esparza, Ukweli Roach.
Heartbreaker
Based on the real life and achievements of Dr. Kathy Magliato, this unique character-driven medical drama follows Dr. Alex Panttiere (Melissa George, “The Slap”), an outspoken world-renowned heart-transplant surgeon and one of the few women in her field. Stubborn and fearless, Alex always operates on her own terms. She revels in a racy personal life that’s a full-time job in itself, manages the daily demands of skeptical faculty and dutiful interns, and pushes the boundaries of medical science to impressive new heights. Cast: Melissa George, Dave Annable, Don Hany, Shelley Conn, Maya Erskine, Jamie Kennedy, Joshua Leonard, J. Louis Mills, Rudy Martinez, D.L. Hughley.

wow it started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd NBC's getting started a few days early. I love this time of year!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I'm interested in but yay with Jaimie Alexander and Ashley Johnson's show getting picked up!
I usually don't look who wrote, I just look at the avatar and I was like who is this now??
ReplyDeleteAnd than I see Klutzy_girl! O.O Barely recognized U ;-)
P.S. I think Blindspot will be a good thing.
Nne of this sounds inetresting to me, maybe Blindspot.
ReplyDeleteBlindspot sounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteWith 2 medical drama TNS is a goner
ReplyDeleteHeartbreaker has flop written all over it
My personal favorite among the announced pilots and now pick up! *yay (screaming inside)*
ReplyDeletePass on all 3 for me. NBC never interests me, I've only ever watched 4 of their shows and other than Friends, all of them were either cancelled or I dropped them.
ReplyDeleteI will watch Blindspot, sounds pretty cool. But I also want Endgame and... especially... Game of Silence. Pleaseee
ReplyDeleteI wasn't interesting by the name at first so I didn't bother looking it up on google or anything and I'm glad I now have read the article! Interesting, interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'll try Blindspot.
ReplyDeleteSame for me. The only shows that I've watched on NBC are Revolution (RIP) and American Odyssey (soon RIP)
Quite interesting and Berlanti being behind the project is just a plus.
ReplyDeleteJust not a fan of the male lead, at least what he his 300 sequel performance wasn't for me.
You should add that Sony wants to bundle TNS,The Player and Game of Silence hence why The Player wasnt ordered to series yet.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I've never heard of him... I guess I'll be able juge his performance on Blindspot! :p
ReplyDeleteNone of this sounds good. I gave up on the Chicago shows and then there is another doctor show and yet another boring crime procedural. Nothing about Blindspot sounds new and interesting. The premise is probably different from other shows but in the end it will be nothing more than we have already seen a thousand times.
ReplyDeleteBlindspot doesn't sound like my thing at all but even if it did, Berlanti would seriously put me off it.
ReplyDeleteI watched Revolution too but dropped it, same with Heroes, and Constantine isn't coming back.
Good for U. A clean slate is always better than a bad or good one. Nothing to fear and nothing to expect.
ReplyDeleteI bet Sony wants them to renew TNS first
ReplyDeleteDeadline says that Sony wants to bundle TNS, Game of Silence and The Player(Endgame)
ReplyDeleteNone of these really interest me. I'll wait though for the first promos, maybe they will change my mind.
ReplyDeleteDeadline reports that Sony is trying to bundle the night shift together with game of silence and endgame. I would be so pleased if they managed to get all three!
ReplyDeleteChicago Med? Like, ER 2.0? I mean, it's set in an hospital in Chicago too, and it also airs on NBC...?
ReplyDeleteI hate medical dramas... so much.
ReplyDeleteI'll give Chicago Med a try.The other two is not my cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteWell they have gone full circle now. First it was Fire fighters in Chicago Fire then the police in Chicago PD and now the doctors come along. Dick Wolf just wants to create another franchise. like Law & Order.
ReplyDeleteGood to see Melissa George, Jamie Kennedy and Jaimie Alexander in regular roles on TV again
ReplyDeleteHardly. As mentioned in the article, Sony is packaging it with Game of Silence and The Player. Which, everyone, saw coming being Sony.
ReplyDeleteThere's no reason why there can't be three medical dramas... spread out through fall, midseason, and summer. Not to mention, Heartbreaker, was sold to France before TNS even began its run (and they weren't going to not produce something they received money for already) and CM operates in its own sphere.
The name "Blindspot" sounds like cancellation ahahah
ReplyDeleteMean! #lmao
ReplyDeleteSo These have been ordered to a series?
ReplyDeleteYes, Sony is trying to bundle all three per deadline
ReplyDeleteOnly that this time all the characters interacting will have their own shows and have an organic flow. If you see a plice officer show up in hospital you can be pretty sure that you'll see that guy on Chicago PD.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for Chicago Zombies, Chicago Hookers and Chicago Canines
Yes. Blindspot sounds really cool, but I am even more excited for Game of Silence
ReplyDeleteI am scared to watch anything on NBC since all shows are cancelled
ReplyDeleteThose can come in 2017, first Chicago Plumbers have to get picked up, U can neither spin of Z or H without Plumbers. ;-)
ReplyDeleteClassic Sony, trying to get as many of their properties going.
ReplyDeleteI could Sony try to use some of its pilots to kickstart Crackle though, would be a good move with the age of Netflix being so hot right now
NBC...all Chicago all time time.
ReplyDeleteThe obvious three got the pick up. I wonder if any other characters besides the obvious of Detective Halstead and Lieutenant Severide will show up in Med?
They are trying to throw in The Night Shift in the Sony deal, but as you brought up, it's complicated. NBC doesn't need three.
ReplyDeleteThis year was specifically bad yes but I would argue that only makes things easier for next season's shows.
ReplyDeleteRight, plus someone needs to deal with all the sh*t so I vote for Chicago Cleaning Ladies to run hand in hand with plumbers.
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda loving this universe Dick Wolf has created, I just wish they would do that for a supernatural series now. Like World of Darkness, one show about vampires, another about werewolves, one about ghosts, one about witches and on and on....sigh...we were so close
Doubt it, I could see Crackle becoming the new home for one of their shows. With streaming services ruling right now it'd be stupid not to give their own streaming service some material
ReplyDeleteU mean Chicago Maids ( so it sounds more fancy).
ReplyDeleteI don't watch anything on NBC, I tried a couple of comedies this season but it didn't work out. But I'll try out Blindspot.
They are also creating another Chicago franchise about waste pickup workers called Chicago Trash
ReplyDeleteWhile it's certainly a network aimed at the older generation we can easily aim our focus on shows that sound like fitting the demo :)
ReplyDeleteThat being procedurals :P
I mean, I'm interested in the show, it's actually the only one between these 3 that I care about, but the name... idk, it's like "Allegiance", sounds like a cancelled show :/
ReplyDeletestill waiting for Chicago Hookers, Chicago Factory Workers, Chicago Office and Chicago Unemployed
ReplyDeleteTrue. I was going to watch state of affairs, Allegiance and American oddysey and i did not watch any of them because they totally failed, Especially oddysey
ReplyDeleteBlindspot sounds interesting but do we really need 2 more medical shows....
ReplyDeleteDon't worry I see it, at least now I see it. I like the premise as well. Now I just need a solid trailer and I'm 100 % in.
ReplyDeleteBlindspot was one of the very few pilots from NBC that sounded good, so I'm thrilled about this. Love me a good conspiracy series, and NBC has actually had several good ones these past two seasons, although they're all canceled (or in the case of AO, going to be).
ReplyDeleteHeartbreaker doesn't sound too good but I *LOVE* Melissa George and Dave Anabelle so I'll watch the pilot... maybe.
The only medical dramas on broadcast right now are Grey's Anatomy and The Night Shift, which may not even make it, so it isn't that much. The thing is that this year both CBS and NBC seem very high on medical dramas out of the sudden, so it looks like the volume will increase quite significantly out of the blue.
ReplyDeleteBlindspot *First Photo Jaime Alexander*
ReplyDeleteoh cool. Another year without having any shows that air on nbc.
ReplyDeleteYep! CBS has a medical drama too.Whether or not they have room for it remains to be seen..
ReplyDeleteBlindspot sounds AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteI think they will air it Tuesdays at 10.
ReplyDeleteyep, exactly! can be a great show
ReplyDeleteYeah, exactly the same with me. All three!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, quite excited for the trailer
ReplyDeleteThere are more pickups to come
ReplyDeleteThank god! Finally someone has the balls to tell this story!!
ReplyDeleteU mean the CBS medical dramas? I got a feeling Code Black could go Sundays after TGW.
ReplyDeleteThey'll have me as a viewer if they are able to revive Shay.
ReplyDeleteExcited for Blindspot. Waiting for Game of Silence and The Player. Nothing else interests me from NBC this year :D
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Chicago Prison. We only saw a glimpse of it in OITNB so I definitely need more.
ReplyDeleteIt would be DOA there, that is no place to launch anything. Elementary or POI will go there to ride syndication and die.
ReplyDeleteyes,i know. maybe,i should of been more specific. what i meant was that i don't have any shows that i watch on NBC. each year,it's like that. in the past i watched both 'Up all night' & 'The New Normal' this year it's 'Marry Me' 'One big happy' 'About a boy' (which i stopped watching half way in season 2)
ReplyDeleteBlindspot might be good. The other two... meh
ReplyDeleteYeah those are the three I want as well, especially Game of Silence
ReplyDeleteSo THE PICK UPS and CANCELLATIONS should stop now, cause I'm going to sleep. Please I don't wanna wake up to a mess.
ReplyDeleteTBC in 6 and a half hours.
Blindspot sounds good even though it migtn be next season's Crisis/American Odyssey. Waiting for more pickups to follow.
ReplyDeleteI eventually could see it after Scorpion but seems like they are going for old skewing with Code Black, Supergirl is more likely to follow Scorpion.
ReplyDeleteTuesday seems so vague but still those are 2 good lead ins for the show.
Yay Chicago med can't wait for more April sexton ❤️❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteThey will, there's no reason why NBC and Sony can't hammer out a deal. TNS isn't doing bad enough to not be serviceable somewhere and having Snipes on roster is too enticing for NBC to pass up. I do wonder though, if ownership percentages change, which one NBC wants... The Player (with Snipes' aforementioned return to TV) or Game of Silence (which has the most fan buzz of any NBC pilot). I'm willing to bet its Game of Silence.
ReplyDeleteNot too excited about all three of these.
ReplyDeleteAs long as they pick up Game Of Silence!
ReplyDeleteBlindspot sounds intriguing. Heartbreaker really doesn't. And I'm very impartial to Chicago Med.
ReplyDeleteI think Limitless will follow Scorpion.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
ReplyDeleteExcited for Chicago Med, but is Nick not staying on with the cast? His name wasn't listed. It'd be a real bummer if he wasn't, love bro Halstead, and he's a great window into Jay's past.
ReplyDeleteThe Upfronts for NBC/Fox begin a week from Monday on May 11th !!!
ReplyDelete( ABC - May 12th / CBS - May 13th / CW - May 14h )
Love the cast of Chicago Med, I will like that NBC try to do a good with Heartbreakers and I love the concept of Blindspot. Still waiting for Game of Silence and Endgame
ReplyDeleteAll of this sounds pretty boring to me. Bleh!
ReplyDeleteThey should be politically correct and rename "Blindspot" into "Visually impaired spot".
ReplyDeleteThese sound interesting might check out Blindspot and Heartbreaker because I like the leads they cast hope they pick up Warrior though
ReplyDeleteBlindspot is either going to be a success like Blacklist or backfire like Odyssey, Crisis and Allegiance.
ReplyDeleteHeartbreaker is poor mans Chicago Med, I wouldn't be surprise if it gets a fall shot only to be replaced by midseason, just like Ironside-Chicago PD.
Which is why I'm rooting for Telenovela and Superstore.
ReplyDeleteI'm heavily biased towards workplace comedies, so, no surprise.
This is probably TOTAL NONSENSE but I looked at NBC Shows' twitters and found out that most of them are @NBC+name of the show (or words from the show's name). I looked up and found that already picked-up series such as Telenovela (@NBCTelenovela), Blindspot (@NBCBlindspot), Chicago Med (@NBCChicagoMed) and Heartbreaker (@NBCHeartbreaker) all have the same style of account. New private accounts with the traditional twitter egg. So I thought I could try to find some others, and some of them have the same style of accounts. Dramas found: The Player (@NBCThePlayer), Game of Silence (@NBCSilence) and Unveiled (@NBCUnveiled, though its twitter name is 'Angels Unveiled', which perfectly fits with its plot). Not found Curse of the Fuentes Women, Love Is a Four-Letter Word and Warrior (though @NBCWarrior is already taken, so it may have another twitter account). Comedies found: Cuckoo (@NBCCuckoo), Problem Child (@NBCProblemChild), Strange Calls (@NBCStrangeCalls), Superstore (@NBCSuperstore) and Take It From Us (@NBCTakeItFromUs, though irregular twitter name). Not found How We Live, Not Safe For Work and People Are Talking.
ReplyDeleteI really doubt this could be accurate, I guess we'll just have to wait.
I'm very happy for these 3 orders 'cause they were among the Nbc drama pilots I hoped would be ordered (Game of Silence is the fourth), and each of them has an actor/actress I really like: Jamie Alexander (Blindspot), Oliver Platt (Chicago Med), Melissa George (Heartbreaker).
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the trailers :)
You do realize yesterday was the deadline for the Constantine writers to pitch the idea of S2 to NBC and i say by next week NBC will give their final verdict lol
ReplyDeleteLmao!
ReplyDeleteChicago Schools and School Buses lol
ReplyDeleteI do but I'm not getting my hopes up.
ReplyDeleteHeartbreaker doesn't really appeal to me but I'll wait for the trailer before I decide.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely checking out Chicago Med and Blindspot. Never seen Chicago PD or Chicago Fire though so I will need to move them to the top of the Netflix pile for this summer.
Nice. Hope you are right.
ReplyDeletei had hopes when i read they would bring the show to syfy but then it died when syfy denied it lol
ReplyDeleteYay for Blindspot!!
ReplyDeleteHopefully Blindspot is good.
ReplyDeleteGreat detective work.
ReplyDeleteStrange Calls and Superstore are two comedy pilots high on NBC's list, so it's likely very accurate. Warrior has faded a bit, so it not being on the list isn't that surprising.
Warrior's twitter set-up is @WarriorNBC... I guess NBCWarrior must have been used or someone forgot the structure.
ReplyDeleteThe executive producer of The Night Shift wrote this on his twitter account:
ReplyDelete"Okay people. We need you all out in force for Monday night. Please watch and please tell your friends! Thank you."
This screams desperation. If they are included in any package deal, no one told the executive producer. My guess is NBC is likely to go with two medical dramas and The Night Shift is getting left out.
That looks bad. I still think it's firmly on the bubble though, as it depends on the negotiations with Sony. I think an uptick or so on Monday won't make any difference
ReplyDeleteIf that's Gabe Sachs he's notoriously paranoid and continuously writing contradictory statements. I wouldn't put any stock into that as executive producers aren't told results until they are finalized.
ReplyDeleteIt won't. One week never makes or breaks a show. However, it looks good in PR. He looks like the good guy who did everything he could to save the show if it's not included in the package deal. I've seen it with many shows. When executive producers beg for viewership, it usually is the first sign of cancellation.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it looks bad.
ReplyDeletesame LOL
ReplyDeleteMelissa George's career is never going to take off, she is always leading DOA shows like The Slap and now Heartbreaker :(
ReplyDeleteThey create twitter accounts for every show, then delete the ones that are not picked up.
ReplyDeleteYou can see from old shows that their twitter registration date is april from the year they were picked, not may.
Wow, this is super cool! Very happy for the Chicago family...I wonder if they're going to try a 4 way crossover :S Will definitely be checking Blindspot out of Jaimie Alexander and while I don't like the sound of Heartbreaker, I love Melissa George so that'll be on my list too!
ReplyDeleteAnd so... it begins...
ReplyDeleteHappy for Blindspot, meh on the other two.
So it begins, and really early this time may I see.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I am interested in any of these. But this pretty much means goodbye to The Night Shift. NBC is not going to have 3 medical dramas next season.
None of these appeal to me but then NBC has been turning into CBS in regards to its dramas for the past few years.
ReplyDeleteReally happy that Blindspot was ordered to series. Not sure if I'll watch Chicago Med, their appearance during the Chicago Fire episode didn't really impress me (I do like Will, Jay's brother. Not sure about the rest of the cast/characters) . I'll check the previews/featurettes when they come out and then decide later on if I'll watch the show or not.
ReplyDeleteyesssssssssss i was waiting for it. Mills is surely in. I don't like
ReplyDeletehim a lot but yea. Hope Dawson & Casey will make cameos. Now The Blacklist did one more step to cancellation :( All 3 shows are cool.
i really love workplace comedies... been expecting for some more for a long time now
ReplyDeleteChicago Med - Yes, definitely (i even started Chicago PD recently because of ChM)
ReplyDeleteBlindspot - Depends on Trailer, but i think i will give it a chance
Heartbreaker - Depends on Trailer, but i think i will pass
Sorry. It might not be nice to say, but I hope this time you'll be wrong.
ReplyDeleteChicago Med.... definitely, given the way Fire and PD are mixed even aside from special crossovers, no doubt Med will be the same and characters will be doing walk-ins back and forth.
ReplyDeleteBlindspot.... seems a mix of The Blacklist and John Doe, but I love Jaime Alexander so hell yeah.
Heartbreaker.... I like Melissa George but my instinct is to pass but I'll probably cave and give the first episode a look.
I love CF and CPD is a little meh for me so I'll give Chicago Med a try and hopefully it'll be better than CPD.
ReplyDeleteBlindspot sounds interesting and I love Greg's shows so I'll give it a try of course.
Heartbreaker: Didn't like the premise I even got bored and didn't finish reading it, pass.
Really happy about Blindspot for one particular reason: Sullivan Stapleton! I was hoping he would find work after Strike Back and this looks interesting. However, I don't get why they're adding 2 more medical shows, despite the Chicago Fire and P.D. connection, I don't intend to watch either one.
ReplyDeleteStapleton was great in Strike Back, 300 was not really representative of what he can do.
ReplyDeleteChicago Hookers would have to be on cable.
ReplyDeleteSupernatural tried, it's a shame it didn't work, I didn't think the backdoor pilot was so bad.
ReplyDeleteSecond that.
ReplyDeleteThe name definitely sucks.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of Prison Break. Only Wentworth Miller was more attractive.
ReplyDeleteHeartbreaker sounds like the most interesting because it's an interesting story and it's a true story.
ReplyDeleteI didn't like the backdoor pilot that much, it wasn't horrible but I'm not sad they didn't pick it up.
ReplyDeleteThe show I was referring to was Kindred - The Embraced. A 90s vampire show based on the World of Darkness (a series featuring every kind of monster)
Well, NBC had me with Blacklist and Constantine. But since the network is aimed at an older demographic I'm not surprised our generation isn't too hot on its shows
ReplyDeleteChicago Med.... I liked Chicago Fire, but they have those crossovers... then I started watching CPD. Now, I watch both but I don't really like anymore... So, they'll try to compel me to watch another show, it's not going to work. Not watching anymore. I really hope Forever is renewed.
ReplyDeleteI'm finding myself surprised to be drawn to some nbc and cbs pilots. Some for the plot, some for the major actor force.
ReplyDeleteBut i was drawn to Elementary as well but out of nowhere it started to bore me and I dropped it after 4 season 2 eps.
We'll have to see. I'm waiting for the promos and critics to decied what I'll go for.
Not to me for sure. ^_^
ReplyDeleteDidn't watch that but I'll give him a clean slate entering the show to see if he can take me to the dark side.
ReplyDeleteBlindspot seems to have a procedural element to it as opposed to Odyssey, Crisis and Allegiance which were pretty much completely serialized.
ReplyDeleteTelenovela is straight to series, so you should spend all your rooting for Superstore. I also want to see America Farerra on TV again.
ReplyDeleteThey all try to copy Grey's Anatomy or ER to some extent.
ReplyDeleteNext in the "Chocago" franchise:
ReplyDeleteChicago Exterminators
Chicago Animal Control
I know. I meant for a fall spot.
ReplyDeleteSome other good ideas for Chicago
ReplyDelete1.) Chicago Law
2.) Chicago (something with politics)
How many episodes will they wait before making Agent Weller and 'Jane' and item as we all know you can't have a man and woman working together without there being sexual tension!
ReplyDeleteResist the inner you. It does work. I only watch fire and nothing will make me watch PD. I have too many cop shows already. Fire was different as there is no other show about fire fighters on at the moment. I'm not going to watch Med as I did not like and Grey's is my medical show It would be a shame if you missed watching fire because you don't want to watch the other two. Even with the crossovers you don't have to watch the others, I didn't and I did not miss anything.
ReplyDeleteBlindspot sounds interesting. I'll pass on the other 2.
ReplyDelete
