What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on the NBC television network, Chicago Fire follows the personal lives and work lives of the Chicago paramedics and firefighters working on Engine 51, Truck 81, Ambulance, and Battalion 25. No occupation is more stressful or dangerous, yet so rewarding and exhilarating. These courageous men and women forge headfirst into danger when everyone else is running the other way. The TV show’s cast includes Jesse Spencer, Taylor Kinney, Monica Raymund, Eamonn Walker, David Eigenberg, Joe Minoso, Yuri Sardarov, Christian Stolte, Kara Killmer, and Miranda Rae Mayo. Recurring players include Randy Flagler, Anthony Ferraris, and DuShon Brown.
 

Season Six Ratings

The sixth season of Chicago Fire on NBC averaged a 1.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.98 million viewers. Compared to season five, that’s down by 29% in the demo and down by 15% in total viewers. Compare its standing against the other NBC TV shows we are tracking.
 

 

Telly’s Take

After several years on Tuesday nights (an evening when NBC attracts a large audience for The Voice), the peacock network has moved Chicago Fire to a highly competitive Thursday evening schedule. It’s expected that the ratings will take a hit. With that in mind, the numbers look pretty good so I’m certain the series will land a seventh season renewal. I’ll watch the ratings and will update this page as needed. Subscribe for free updates on any cancellation or renewal news regarding Chicago Fire.
