“Chicago Fire” is one of the most popular programs on network television, but the show is undergoing several cast changes. The latest news is that Michael Bradway won’t be returning for the show’s 14th season on NBC. This comes after two other notable cast members have announced their exits.

Notably, “Chicago Fire” is a relatively long-running show, having premiered in 2012. To date, it has spawned three spin-offs: “Chicago PD,” “Chicago Med,” and “Chicago Justice.”

It Seems Michael Bradway Is Leaving ‘Chicago Fire’ For Another Show

Michael Bradway wasn’t one of the leads on “Chicago Fire.” However, he did have a recurring role on the series as Jack Damon. He appeared in 17 episodes from season 12 to 13. So, why exactly is he leaving the long-running NBC show?

According to US Weekly, Michael is leaving “Chicago Fire” because he has been cast in Prime Video’s “Every Summer After.” The show is scheduled to go into production in July and is based on a book of the same name by Carley Fortune.

Of course, it’s not unheard of for actors to appear on multiple shows simultaneously. However, it seems that the filming schedules for “Chicago Fire” and “Every Summer After” may coincide with each other. Season 14 of “Chicago Fire” is set to begin airing in the fall, which means filming is likely underway.

Michael Is The Third Actor to Depart The NBC Series

As mentioned, Michael Bradway isn’t the first actor to leave “Chicago Fire” in recent months. Jake Lockett announced in April 2025 that he would not be returning for the show’s 14th season. He announced the news in an Instagram statement.

The actor said, “While I don’t exactly know what the future looks 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.”
