A new season of Chicago Fire returns tonight, and the Season 13 premiere promises to be action-packed as a new fire chief shakes things up at Firehouse 51. Read on to find out when Chicago Fire Season 13 airs on NBC and what to expect from the premiere.
Season 13 picks up after the bittersweet Season 12 finale, when Captain Boden stepped down as Fire Chief to take on the role of Deputy Commissioner of the CFD. Firehouse 51 will now have to adjust to its new leader, Fire Chief Dom Pascal, played by Dermot Mulroney.
Showrunner Andrea Newman revealed to TVInsider that the firefighters will be curious to learn more about Fire Chief Pascal, especially Lieutenant Christopher Herrmann (David Eigenberg), the veteran firefighter Boden favors as his replacement.
“All of our guys are going to have different reactions to him, and there’s going to be surprises about who sticks with Pascal and who doesn’t,” Newman said. She also noted that “there’s a lot of drama in Pascal’s marriage.” KaDee Strickland is joining the series to play his wife, Monica.
Most of the Chicago Fire Season 12 cast will return for Season 13, including Taylor Kinney (Kelly Severide), Miranda Rae Mayo (Stella Kidd), Eigenberg (Christopher Herrmann), Christian Stolte (Randall “Mouch” McHolland), Joe Minoso (Joe Cruz), and more. Jocelyn Hudon was also promoted to series regular this season after replacing Kara Killmer (Sylvie Brett) in Season 12. Chicago Fire Season 13 premieres at 9 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Sept. 25, on NBC.
