Chicago Fire is losing another long-time member of its cast. Per Deadline, Kara Kilmer, who joined the series as Sylvie Brett in season three, is leaving the first responder drama during the upcoming season 12. At this time, it is unknown how many episodes Kilmer will appear in before her character’s departure.
Starring Kilmer, Taylor Kinney, David Eigenberg, Eamonn Walker, Christian Stolte, Joe Minoso, Miranda Rae Mayo, Alberto Rosende, Daniel Kyri, and Hanako Greensmith, the NBC series follows the first responders of Chicago’s Firehouse 51.
At the end of season 11, viewers saw Matt Casey (Jesse Spencer) return and propose to Brett. The finale ended on that cliffhanger.
With her departure now announced, Brett will likely accept that proposal and leave with Matt. Spencer left Chicago Fire in 2021 but has returned for a few episodes since his departure.
A return date for season 12 of Chicago Fire has not yet been announced. Due to production delays caused by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the season is expected to have just 13 episodes.
What do you think? Are you surprised by Kilmer’s exit from the long-running NBC series? Are you disappointed that she’s leaving the Chicago Fire show?
Will miss her terribly. I wish at least they would show her getting married.
That really makes me unhappy. I love her character and her acting is super great. Will really miss Brett.
That’s wack I’m going to miss Brett a lot. Her and Stella is my favorite characters on the show.
