Deadline

The two original Chicago Med cast members are exiting with their contracts up at the end of this season. DaCosta plays ER nurse April Sexton, while DeVitto stars as Dr. Natalie Manning. Deadline reports the other Chicago Med original cast members, led by S. Epatha Merkerson and Oliver Platt, are expected to return for Season 7. DaCosta has already lined up her next series: Lee Daniels' Our Kind of People. The show, which reunites Daniels and The Butler star DaCosta, "follows strong-willed, single mom Angela Vaughn (DaCosta) as she sets out to reclaim her family’s name and make an impact with her revolutionary haircare line that highlights the innate, natural beauty of black women," per Deadline. "But she soon discovers a dark secret about her mother’s past that will turn her world upside-down and shake up this community forever."
