Is Chicago Fire the New Tonight?
The return of One Chicago Wednesdays can’t come fast enough—especially Chicago Fire Season 13. Fans watched Firehouse 51 weather some of its most challenging storms in Season 12. With the emotional departure of former Chief Eamonn Walker as a series regular and the introduction of Dermot Mulroney’s Chief Dom Pascal, there’s a lot of uncertainty going on. Add to that some high-stakes rescue missions, relationship storylines, and a secret brother (!), and you have one of the most anticipated seasons of Chicago Fire in recent memory.
“This is a new era [of Chicago Fire] in many ways, even though the core family is still together and will need each other to get through the twists and turns ahead,” Chicago Fire showrunner Andrea Newman told NBC Insider. “Fans can expect some darker themes [in Season 13], with new challenges, battles, and suspense as things get chaotic at 51!”
When do new Chicago Fire episodes air?
Chicago Fire Season 13 premieres Wednesday, September 25 at 9/8c on NBC. Episodes will stream the following day on Peacock.
What to Know About Chicago Fire Season 12: Details “As the show continues to evolve, these characters continue to evolve. There’s a challenge of what’s the next exciting call?” Newman said in an interview with CBR in May 2024.
“What’s the next little hurdle in their path?” Newman continued. “And what’s the next step that could bring out the darker side of a character—something that triggers something for them and they have a different kind of evolution? It’s a constant challenge, but in the best way. It’s such a gift to have characters that you want to see grow and have unexpected turns.”
