“Chicago Med” News: Welcome Back, Brian Tee!

According to Deadline, actor Brian Tee is coming back to Chicago Med; however, he’ll be behind the camera, versus in front of it. Tee will be directing a show in Season 9, making this the second time he’s directed an epi, since he exited the series as Dr. Ethan Choi, in Season 8.

As of this writing, there’s no further information about the episode Tee is directing (other than he’s directing “Episode 11”); the premiere date of Chicago Med, Season 9 has also not been announced as of yet.

“Chicago Med” News: Brian Tee Is Excited

Tee told Deadline that no matter how far he goes, it’s special to go back “home”. He adds that the Chicago Med set is his “home away from home” where he’s met the best and dearest in the series, and it fills his heart to be able to see them all again.

He adds that in this industry, projects can come and go, but it’s the relationships you make that continue. Tee notes that he’s been “extremely fortunate” to have made some great ones at Chicago Med, NBC, and Wolf.

Still, Tee’s been a busy bee since he left the series. He’s been in Expats, a Prime Video series, which just released its show finale last month.

While many fans would love to see Dr. Ethan Choi return to Gaffney Chicago Medical Center, it’s still amazing that Tee is returning to the show in some capacity.
