And though the actor, who stars as Kelly Severide, has had his role in the series in limbo before, he is now confirmed to be returning for a 14th season.
Deadline reported on Thursday that all leads of the three series, which include Taylor as well as Miranda Rae Mayo and Dermot Mulroney for Fire, plus Chicago P.D.’sJason Beghe and Chicago Med’sS. Epatha Merkerson and Oliver Platt, will be returning to their roles.
The three Fire actors have all signed new deals to continue with the series, which first premiered in 2012, while Med’s Oliver and S. Epatha — who was on fellow NBC mainstay Law & Order for a whopping 17 seasons between 1993 to 2010 — had already signed multi-year deals last year.
The three shows will come back in the fall for 21 episodes, however, cast members will be absent from a couple episodes throughout the respective seasons, a new cost-cutting measure from NBC.
All three of the shows air Wednesdays on NBC, and Deadline previously reported that per NBCUniversal, the current seasons of the three have reached nearly 46 million total viewers season to-date across NBC and Peacock, with all three’s streaming viewership rising year-over-year.
Chicago Fire aired its last episode of season 13 on May 21, and it saw Taylor’s character and Miranda’s Stella Kidd surprised by a positive pregnancy test.
