Firehouse 51 is getting a new staff member. Brandon Larracuente has joined “Chicago Fire” as a series regular ahead of Season 14.”
The addition comes following the news of Season 13’s exits: Daniel Kyri, who has portrayed Ritter since Season 7, and Jake Lockett, who has played Sam Carver since Season 11, are not set to return for Season 14. However, neither of their character’s storylines hinted at an exit, so it’s still to be determined how they will be written off the show. Both began their “Chicago Fire” roles as recurring characters that were later bumped up to series regulars.
Larracuente last starred on “On Call,” the Prime Video half-hour drama executive produced by Dick Wolf. The series was the first streaming drama from Wolf but will not continue for a second season. Larracuente’s credits include “The Good Doctor,” “Party of Five,” “13 Reasons Why” and “Bloodline.”
Larracuente is represented by Global Artists Agency, A Management and Goodman Genow Schenkman.
“Chicago Fire” is produced by Universal Television in association with Wolf Entertainment. Executive producers include Wolf, Peter Jankowski, Andrea Newman, Reza Tabrizi and Matt Whitney.
The series, along with “Chicago Med” and “Chicago P.D.,” is set to return in the fall on NBC.
In addition to new seasons of “One Chicago,” Wolf Entertaiment and USG Audio will also roll out the official “One Chicago Podcast,” giving fans “a 360-degree view of the One Chicago universe and the creative engine that powers it,” including interviews from cast, writers, producers and crew from the three shows every Thursday.
