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.

Renewed
Can’t live without my show. I love my One Chicago. Totally All For It Continuing With New Seasons
I can understand why the lost viewers after the first episode of season 14. Fans were sold a hope of a Stellaride baby at the end of season 13. Then they fell back on a very old story of pregnancy lost and adoption. Disappointment ran high, it’s time for Dick Wolf to get a new show runner with a better vision for Chicago Fire. Med replaced their show runner and their ratings went up. Time for new ideas.
Great start to a new season. Lots more emergency calls, drama and some disappointing news that Kidd suffered a miscarriage. The writers missed an opportunity to show how life is for a pregnant female firefighter. And it looks like they may be dragging out a very old story of adoption for Stellaride. It’s been told too many times on Fire. But out of the gate this is very good start to what promises to be a tough and exciting season for all.
