Eager to know who is leaving Chicago Fire? The drama series follows firefighters putting their lives on the line to protect the city from dangerous threats. While tackling the demands of their risky jobs, they also deal with personal and relationship issues. With new faces frequently joining and others leaving the popular roster, many are curious about who could be departing in 2025. Here are the details.
List of everyone who is or could be leaving Chicago Fire in 2025
Daniel Kyri:
Deadline previously reported that Daniel Kyri, who plays Darren Ritter, won’t return to the roster in Chicago Fire Season 14. Introduced in Season 7, he is a firefighter who originally worked for Engine 37.
He later conversed with Randall McHolland and joined Firehouse 51. His character’s exit likely comes in light of the network facing budgetary issues. It remains to be seen how the series will end Ritter’s story — will he depart forever, or will there be room for him to return in the future?
Jake Lockett:
Lockett, who plays Sam Carver, is another cast member leaving the Chicago Fire roster this year. His exit, too, is prompted by the network experiencing budgetary issues. Sources reveal that the network is currently in negotiations with mainstays as their contracts near expiry.
With the show’s renewal on the way, many contracts will be renegotiated, and financial constraints across the network might lead to more actors’ exits in the future.
Lockett recently took to Instagram to share a Chicago Fire BTS video and a lengthy note about his journey. He wrote, “While I don’t exactly know what the future is like, I do know that it won’t be exactly what it was and I am going to miss the hell out of that. So much pride in this journey. It’s been an honor bringing Sam to life and to every one of you, thank you for the love and support over the past three years.” He further extended thanks and gratitude to his cast, crew, fans, and family members.
