Chicago Fire star Jesse Spencer has addressed his future on the NBC procedural drama.
Spencer’s fan-favourite character Matthew Casey recently returned to Firehouse 51 for a one-off episode following his exit in 2021 – but, of course, the fans want more.
In a new interview with NBC Insider, Spencer discussed his Chicago Fire future and admitted that he would be open to returning again if it was the right storyline for his character.
“The idea when I left the show was that if it was appropriate and it would work with the storyline they wanted to do, I would be open – and they would be open – to bringing Casey back,” he said.
“The storyline [in Episode 18] does allude to Casey sort of eyeing whether he could actually move back to 51. Can he potentially, in the future, rekindle his relationship with Brett and start that fire again? We’re gonna have to see.
“Casey’s looking at it. It’s a potential thing, but we just don’t know right now. We’ll leave that to the future. We’ll throw it to the gods and see what they say.”
pencer also opened up about his experience filming for the show again, saying that it was “really smooth”.
He continued: “It was really great. It had been a while. It’d been over a year or something since I’d been back.
“But it’s like riding a bike, you know? There are familiar faces. I know pretty much all the crew and pretty much all the cast. I had a ball.”
Chicago Fire airs on NBC in the US and on Sky Witness in the UK.
