Excitement is building as Chicago Fire returns for its 14th season, promising a mix of heart-stopping action and emotional storytelling. Fans of the long-running NBC procedural drama can mark their calendars: Season 14 is set to premiere on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at 9/8c, with episodes available the following day for streaming on Peacock, the official home of the One Chicago franchise.
This season brings notable changes to Firehouse 51. While beloved faces like Taylor Kinney (Lieutenant Kelly Severide), David Eigenberg (Christopher Herrmann), Miranda Rae Mayo (Stella Kidd), and Hanako Greensmith (Violet Mikami) are returning, the show will also welcome Brandon Larracuente as a new series regular, portraying firefighter Sal Vasquez.
However, not all news is celebratory. Several key cast members are departing, including Daniel Kyri (Darren Ritter), Jake Lockett (Sam Carver), and Michael Bradway (Jack Damon), who is leaving to take on a new role in Prime Video’s adaptation of Every Summer After. These exits are expected to create dramatic shifts in both personal and professional dynamics within the firehouse.
Season 14 is poised to explore the aftermath of these departures, delving into the emotional and professional challenges that Firehouse 51’s team must navigate. Longtime fans can expect intense firefighting sequences, gripping personal storylines, and surprising twists as the series continues to evolve more than a decade after its debut.
Whether you watch live on NBC or catch up on Peacock, Season 14 promises a compelling mix of action, drama, and heartfelt moments that have made Chicago Fire a fan favorite.
