Throughout Chicago Fire’s 13 seasons, the cast has changed numerous times, with many characters coming to and leaving Firehouse 51, but some have stuck out from the rest. The NBC procedural drama TV series, created by Michael Brandt and Derek Haas, follows the lives of the first responders (including firefighters and paramedics) at Firehouse 51 in Chicago, Illinois. Chicago Fire launched a franchise with the One Chicago universe’s TV shows — Chicago PD, Chicago Med, and Chicago Justice — and the original series’ intriguing and complex characters are partly responsible for its (and the franchise’s) success.
Chicago Fire season 13 is scheduled to contain 22 episodes and will premiere on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.
The original cast of Chicago Fire featured familiar faces such as Eamonn Walker as Chief Boden, Jesse Spencer as Matt Casey, Monica Raymund as Gabby Dawson, David Eigenberg as Christopher Herrmann, and more. Now, the cast looks much different as various characters (some better than others) have been added over the years. While not every character in Chicago Fire has been well-received throughout the NBC procedural drama’s 13 seasons and 252 episodes, the good characters always outrank the bad. In fact, 10 prominent Chicago Fire figures are unforgettable and have made their mark not only on the show but also on TV.
