This fall, Chicago Fire viewers will see more of one of last season’s new arrivals. Jocelyn Hudon (above, right) has been bumped to series regular for the NBC drama’s 13th season, per Deadline. She joined the series as new paramedic Lyla Novak after Kara Kilmer departed.

Starring Taylor Kinney, David Eigenberg, Christian Stolte, Joe Minoso, Miranda Rae Mayo, Daniel Kyri, and Hanako Greensmith, the series follows the first responders of Chicago’s Firehouse 51.

The following was revealed about Hudon’s character and her addition to the NBC drama:

Hudon joined the Season 12 cast in April as Lyla Novak, a new paramedic at Firehouse 51 who at first loves freelancing but reluctantly agrees to join Violet (Hanako Greensmith) as an official part of the team. In a short time, Lyla has proven to be an integral member of the paramedics with leadership skills that will go far at 51. She also realizes that standing still and being part of something big feels pretty nice, too.

Chicago Fire will return to NBC and air on Wedneday nights this fall. An exact premiere date will be announced later.

What do you think? Have you kept up with this NBC series? Are you excited to see more of paramedic Novak on Chicago Fire next season?
