If you’re a fan of weekly TV dramas, few things are more annoying than tuning in at your regular time slot, only to find your favorite show on a break. Fear not, Chicago Fire fans—we’ve got the info you need about the highly anticipated Season 10 finale.
What Happened in Chicago Fire Season 10 So Far?
The tenth season of Chicago Fire, which premiered in 2012, has been filled with major milestones and big changes. The show recently aired its 200th episode, a huge achievement for the long-running series. One of the biggest shakeups this season was the departure of fan favorite Matt Casey (played by Jesse Spencer). Casey chose to leave Firehouse 51 and move to Portland to care for the two sons of his late friend, Andrew Darden. This decision left his relationship with Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer) in a challenging long-distance situation.
Casey’s exit created a vacancy for a new leader of Truck 81. Enter Lieutenant Jason Pelham (Brett Dalton), whose arrival has been met with mixed reactions. While Pelham has tried to step into the leadership role, he’s already clashed with Blake Gallo (Alberto Rosende) over his management style. To make matters worse, the team at Firehouse 51 learned that Pelham has a troubled past, including a disciplinary record involving a physical altercation with a superior officer.
This tense dynamic sets the stage for an exciting finale, and fans are eager to see how it all plays out.
When Will the Season 10 Finale Air?
According to a promo video for the One Chicago franchise, the Season 10 finale of Chicago Fire is set to air on Wednesday, December 8, 2021, at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. It’s a big night for NBC, as the finales for Chicago Med and Chicago P.D. will also air on the same evening. Fans can look forward to a blockbuster night filled with drama across all three shows in the One Chicago universe.
This finale will be the ninth episode of the season and marks the first new Chicago Fire episode in three weeks. The show took a brief hiatus starting on November 17, leaving fans wondering why there was a sudden break with only one episode left. NBC hasn’t given an official explanation, but some speculate that the pause could be related to production challenges, potentially linked to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
What Can Fans Expect in the Season 10 Finale?
While NBC has kept specific plot details under wraps, the Season 10 finale will likely revolve around the future of Lieutenant Pelham. The team at Firehouse 51 will have to decide if Pelham is fit to remain their leader, given the rocky start he’s had. Showrunner Derek Haas teased in an interview with TVLine that the finale will have a festive twist, describing it as a holiday-themed episode. “Episode 9 is going to make the Hallmark Channel jealous of our holiday episode,” Haas joked.
So, if you’re eager to see how the crew at Firehouse 51 handles the latest drama and whether Pelham can secure his place, make sure to mark your calendars. The Season 10 finale of Chicago Fire is just around the corner, promising plenty of action and heartwarming moments to wrap up the year.
