After stepping away from Chicago Fire in 2024, Kara Killmer is officially returning to the screen. The actress has landed her first new acting role since leaving the One Chicago franchise, co-starring opposite KJ Apa in the upcoming James Stewart biopic Jimmy.
Killmer plays Lady Julia, a singer who performs for servicemen during Stewart’s time in the military. A newly released trailer offers fans their first glimpse of her character, including scenes that highlight Killmer’s vocal talents—an exciting development for longtime viewers who haven’t seen her on-screen since her emotional farewell.
The trailer also hints at a possible romantic storyline between Lady Julia and Stewart’s character, though historians note that no such figure appears in Stewart’s real-life story, suggesting the role may be fictional or loosely inspired.
Jimmy is set for a theatrical release on November 6, 2026, marking a major milestone in Killmer’s post-Chicago Fire career and signaling her long-awaited return to acting.
