Chicago Med season 6 will be introducing a new character once it premieres on NBC in the fall. It has been confirmed that Tehmina Sunny will be joining the rest of the cast in the new season. It looks like her character will have a significant role moving forward.
Deadline reported that the Sunny is set to play a major recurring role in the upcoming Chicago Med season 6. She'll be portraying the character of Dr. Sabeena Virani, who is supervising a clinical trial for a new medication. She'll approach Dr. Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) to lead this latest project.
No further details are revealed about Sunny's character. But, she is said to have a significant role in the story moving forward. What's interesting about her arrival is that the series could explore a new aspect of medicine that wasn't shown before.
The plot of Chicago Med season 6 remains unknown at the moment. But, after the season 5 finale, executive producers Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider told CarterMatt that they'll be honoring the real-life responders in the series.
Just like other medical dramas out there, the upcoming installment will deliver stories about the current global health crisis. Fans are going to see most of the characters working together at the hospital while dealing with the pandemic.
Dr. Halstead and the rest of the team will do everything to save the lives of people during the global health crisis. The situation could strain all of them, as well. Amidst the stress, the new season will also deliver personal stories for other characters.
The fifth installment wasn't able to deliver the original finale as production was halted due to the real-life health crisis. The upcoming season picks up these stories, including Dr. Crockett Marcel's (Dominic Rains) storyline. It was revealed that he lost a child at an early age, and the tragedy changed him.
Meanwhile, Chicago Med season 6 started production on Tuesday, Sept. 22. Also, the cast and producers gather all together for the first table read, which was done virtually. Usually, table reads happen in an in-person setting, but everything will be different this time considering the current health crisis.
Everyone is being careful now that filming begins. The series managed to kick off production amidst strict COVID-19 protocols implemented in Chicago. Now, cast and crew need to follow these guidelines to ensure their safety on set.
Chicago Med season 6 is set to premiere on Wednesday, Nov 11, on NBC.
