The episode ended with Hannah showing up to Archer\u2019s house and telling him, \u201cWe need to talk,\u201d implying that the pregnancy news is related to him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Schram, Mitchell, and Weber will all reprise their roles in season 11 of \u201cChicago Med,\u201d which premieres on NBC on Wednesday, Oct. 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cChicago Med\u201d is the third installment of the \u201cChicago\u201d franchise, after \u201cChicago Fire\u201d and \u201cChicago P.D.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i><b>Seasons 1-10 of \u201cChicago Med\u201d are <\/b><\/i><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=126006X1587338&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=sara-donnellan%7C&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fpeacocktv.com%2Fwatch%2Fasset%2Ftv%2Fchicago-med%2F8533169522880832112%3Forig_ref%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&amp;product_category=Electronics%3EVideo%3EVideo+Players+%26+Recorders%3EStreaming+%26+Home+Media+Players\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-i13n=\"elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:available to stream on Peacock;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link  rapid-with-clickid etailiffa-link\"><i><b>available to stream on Peacock<\/b><\/i><\/a><i><b>.<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">More TV News and Updates<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>Our journalism needs your support.
