The show’s landmark 13th season is rife with changes, and Chicago Fire is transitioning to a new era after the departure of Chief Wallace Boden (played by Eamonn Walker). Dermot Mulroney’s Chief Dom Pascal has stepped into Boden’s impossible-to-fill-shoes, but his leadership style chafes the Firehouse 51 crew right off the bat. This constant state of flux puts season 14 in a unique spot, but there are still plenty of things that could happen to inform the future of the popular procedural.

| Chicago P.D. | 2014-Present | 13 |
| Chicago Med | 2015-Present | 11 |

Chicago Fire Season 14 Is Confirmed
NBC Has Renewed Chicago Fire
NBC picked up all three One Chicago programs for additional seasons during their shortened run in early 2024, and it’s clear that the 2023 Hollywood strikes did little to dull the popularity of One Chicago.

Chicago Fire Season 14 Cast Details
The Firehouse 51 Crew Will Return
After the tumultuous changes within the cast of Chicago Fire between seasons 12 and 13, it was hoped that things could stay consistent going forward. However, two major cast members are leaving following season 13, with Daniel Kyri (Darren Ritter) and Jake Lockett (Sam Carver) not returning for the prospective 14th season. On the other hand, many returns are expected, including newcomer Dermot Mulroney, who was tapped to lead the team as Chief Dom Pascal. Likewise, fan-favorite character Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) will also be on hand after making his surprise return to full-time action in season 12.
Jocelyn Hudon’s paramedic Lyla Novak was upgraded to a recurring character in season 13 to fill the void left behind by the departing Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer), and she’ll likely stay as a part of the team. The same goes for the likes of David Eigenberg’s Lt. Christopher Herrmann and Miranda Rae Mayo’s Stella Kidd, who have continued to be a constant presence on the procedural.
The presumptive cast of Chicago Fire season 14 includes:
| Actor | Chicago Fire Role | |
|---|---|---|
| Taylor Kinney | Kelly Severide |

| Dermot Mulroney | Chief Dom Pascal |
 |
| David Eigenberg | Lt. Christopher Herrmann |

Chicago Fire Season 14 Story Details
More Emergencies Are In Store
Predicting story details for Chicago Fire season 14 is both difficult and easy, since the procedural elements have been consistent from year to year. As such, season 14 will see the crew of Firehouse 51 responding to various life-threatening emergencies while trying to balance their working selves with their personal lives. There are, however, numerous threads from Chicago Fire season 13 that will also lend themselves to storylines in season 14.
Though Jake Lockett and Daniel Kyri are confirmed to leave Chicago Fire after season 13, the season finale did not do anything specific to write their characters out of the show. Season 14 will have to address their reasons for leaving the series and potentially bring in new characters after their exits.
Herrmann also accepted a demotion so that Mouch could become the lieutenant. This change in professional status will likely have an influence on relationships in the series moving forward, and season 14 will certainly be examining those shifting dynamics.
