As we get ready for another trip to the Windy City, we’re firing off all the latest intel on Chicago Fire Season 14.
The NBC procedural — which is the flagship in the #OneChicago franchise — was renewed for Season 14 in May, ahead of its Season 13 finale. (Chicago Med and Chicago P.D. were also picked up for Seasons 11 and 13, respectively.) And with Fall TV season fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about what we can expect from forthcoming Chicago Fire episodes.
The Season 13 finale delivered a #Stellaride pregnancy surprise and a memorable Violet/Carver kiss. Elsewhere, Herrmann finally admitted that a desk job is not for him. He stepped down to be a regular firefighter so that his buddy Mouch could take over as lieutenant. Plus, Pascal was cleared of murder charges.
But what’s next for our Firehouse 51 favorites? Keep scrolling for all the piping hot intel on Chicago Fire Season 14.
What Will Chicago Fire Season 14 Be About?
During the Chicago Fire Season 13 finale, Herrmann admitted that a desk job, like chief, is not for him and went to Commissioner Grissom with a proposition. Herrmann stepped down to be a regular firefighter so that his friend Mouch could step up as Engine’s lieutenant. The efficiency expert’s warning in an earlier episode that layoffs and forced resignations are coming was on top of Herrmann’s mind as he made his decision.
Showrunner Andrea Newman told TVLine to expect CFD layoffs in Season 14: “We’re going to have a lot of turnover,” the EP shared, “and a lot craziness going on in the CFD from the top, where people are being cut and moved, and everything’s going to get shaken up next season.”
Who Is Returning to Chicago Fire Season 14?
Taylor Kinney, Miranda Rae Mayo and Dermot Mulroney have all inked deals to return for Season 14 of the flagship firefighter drama. Other cast members expected to return are David Eigenberg, Joe Minoso, Jocelyn Hudon, Hanako Greensmith and Christian Stolte.
Daniel Kyri — aka Darren Ritter — exited Chicago Fire as a series regular in Season 13, but recently shared on Instagram that he will return in Season 14 for a “limited time.”
Jake Lockett, who played Sam Carver, also exited in Season 13, but wasn’t officially written off the show. It is unknown whether he, too, will return to wrap up his storyline.
As previously reported, Michael Bradway, who appeared in 17 episodes between Seasons 12 and 13, will not return as Severide’s half-brother Jack Damon in Season 14.
Who Is Joining Chicago Fire Season 14?
Fresh off Wolf’s one-and-done Prime Video procedural On Call, Brandon Larracuente has joined the cast of the NBC firefighter drama as a series regular. Character details are being kept under wraps.
