Everything to Know About Chicago Fire Season 13

The action continues to heat up as Chicago Fire joins NBC’s 2024-2025 season.

Chicago Fire Season 13 is going to be incredible.

Celebrating more than a decade on air, Chicago Fire extends its respectable tenure alongside the return of Chicago P.D. Season 12 and Chicago Med Season 10. Dick Wolf’s One Chicago franchise following first responders maintains its grip on audiences, with fans carrying a torch for the flagship series, Chicago Fire, since its debut in 2012.

Season 12 was a wild ride — we bid farewell to several beloved Firehouse 51 first responders, including Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer), Blake Gallo (Alberto Rosende), and Eammon Walker’s beloved fire chief Wallace Boden. With all those tear-jerking goodbyes, fans are saying hello to a new era of Chicago Fire.

When is the Chicago Fire Season 13 premiere date?

Chicago Fire premieres September 25 on NBC and occupies its normal time slot: Wednesdays at 9/8c.

“As the show keeps growing, these characters keep growing. There’s the challenge of what’s the next cool call?” Newman said in a May 2024 CBR interview, later adding, “It’s been a constant challenge, but in the best way. A real gift to have these characters that you want to see grow and take unexpected turns.”

Is there a trailer for Chicago Fire Season 13?

An official trailer for the return of One Chicago Wednesdays is here, boasting the arrival of Firehouse 51’s newest fire chief Dom Pascal, played by the beloved Dermot Mulroney.

“It’s never lost on me how special it is to be a part of something with the longevity this has,” Taylor Kinney, a.k.a Kelly Severide, told Us Weekly in May 2022. “It’s a testament to [show creator] Dick Wolf and the team of people he puts together.”

What will happen in Chicago Fire Season 13?

It’s impossible to anticipate where Chicago Fire’s endless action is headed next, but Chi-Hards can prepare for more high-stakes rescue missions and explosive Firehouse 51 drama with Mulroney’s new fire chief at the helm. With some staffing shake-ups seen in Season 12 of Chicago Fire, viewers are perched to see how the firefighters navigate the latest challenges.

Part of the reason Chicago Fire remains such a grand slam is the series’ heart. Between the swoon-worthy romances and emotional friendships formed within the station, the show is an emotional watch. The dynamite cast of characters adds to the series’ success as viewers relish seeing how they navigate life’s latest crisis, whether that’s a blazing inferno or a troublesome breakup.

Chicago Fire showrunner Andrea Newman told NBC Insider, “It is a new era [of Chicago Fire] in lots of ways, though the core family is still together and will need each other to manage the twists and turns ahea. Fans can expect some darker themes [in Season 13], with new challenges, battles, and thrills as things get shaken up at 51!”

How can I watch past seasons of Chicago Fire?

With 12 seasons and over 200 episodes to rewatch, Chicago Fire is the perfect choice for a marathon. Chi-Hards can rewatch all of their favorite Chicago Fire episodes on Peacock.

“This is home,” Kinney told TODAY while showing Chicago some love in honor of Fire’s tenth anniversary. “Times have changed, and the city has changed, and people have grown … The city has been good to me. I love the city. I’ve gotten to know it through my work.”
