What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on the NBC television network, the Chicago Fire TV show stars Taylor Kinney, David Eigenberg, Eamonn Walker, Christian Stolte, Joe Minoso, Kara Killmer, Miranda Rae Mayo, Alberto Rosende, Daniel Kyri, and Hanako Greensmith. This series revolves around the personal and professional lives of the firefighters, rescue squad, and paramedics of Chicago Firehouse 51. Battalion Chief Wallace Boden (Walker), Lt. Kelly Severide (Kinney), Lt. Stella Kidd (Mayo), and their teammates risk their lives week in and week out to save and protect the citizens of the Windy City.

Season 11 Ratings

The 11th season of Chicago Fire averaged a 0.61 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 6.71 million viewers. Compared to season 10, that’s down by 23% in the demo and down by 5% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.

Telly’s Take

Will NBC cancel or renew Chicago Fire for season 12? Season 11 marks the end of a three-season renewal for this drama series. The show remains a solid performer for the peacock network so I have no doubt that the series will be renewed, likely for more than just season 12. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
