The Chicago Fire series has consistently been one of NBC’s highest-rated scripted series for years. Unless the ratings see a huge drop, it’s highly unlikely to be cancelled and is almost guaranteed to be renewed for a 15th season. At this point, the bigger question is, to keep production cost under control, which actor will leave the series next? Stay tuned.
A first-responder drama series, Chicago Fire stars Taylor Kinney, Miranda Rae Mayo, David Eigenberg, Christian Stolte, Joe Miñoso, Hanako Greensmith, Jocelyn Hudon, Brandon Larracuente, and Dermot Mulroney. This series revolves around the personal and professional lives of the firefighters, rescue squad, and paramedics of Chicago Firehouse 51. Leaders like Battalion Chief Dom Pascal (Mulroney) and Lt. Kelly Severide (Kinney) and their team risk their lives week in and week out to save and protect the citizens of the Windy City. The series also features crossovers with Chicago Med and Chicago PD.
