Big changes are blazing through Chicago Fire.
Fan-favorites Daniel Kyri (Darren Ritter) and Jake Lockett (Sam Carver) are set to exit the series after Season 13, a move reportedly driven by budget cuts impacting the wider One Chicago universe. Their departures mark a major shift for Firehouse 51—and for fans who’ve grown attached to the characters’ journeys.
Meanwhile, Eamonn Walker, who portrayed Chief Wallace Boden since the show’s beginning, officially stepped down after Season 12. However, he made a special guest return on April 16, 2025, offering a nostalgic spark for longtime viewers.
With long-standing roles coming to an end, this season isn’t just the end of a chapter—it may be the end of an era.
