‘Chicago Fire’ Season 14 Cast Changes: 1 Star Joins as Series Regular, 2 Leaving & 8 More Expected to Return!
Christopher Herrmann is a longtime fixture at Firehouse 51. Originally a senior firefighter on Truck 81, he later transferred to Engine 51 and was promoted to Lieutenant in Season 7 after multiple attempts at the exam.
In Season 13, he passed the Captain’s exam but ultimately stepped down from the role and returned to firefighter status. A father figure to many, Herrmann also co-owns Molly’s Bar, a beloved hangout across the One Chicago universe.
Taylor Kinney (Lieutenant Kelly Severide)
Taylor Kinney has been with the series since the beginning. He is expected to be back for Season 14.
He will be returning to his role as Lieutenant Kelly Severide, the charismatic and skilled officer leading Rescue Squad 3 at Firehouse 51. Known for his confidence and reputation as a “ladies’ man,” Severide has been a central figure since the show’s beginning.
His longtime friendship with Matt Casey began at the CFD Academy but faced tension after a colleague’s death. Severide married Stella Kidd in Season 10 and is the son of Chief Benny Severide, a close friend of Chief Boden.
Dermot Mulroney (Dominic “Dom” Pascal)
Dermot Mulroney has starred as Battalion Chief Dominick “Dom” Pascal, Battalion 25 since Season 13 to now. Pascal replaces Boden as Battalion Chief of Firehouse 51.
Described as a stoic, dark-humored leader who has returned to Chicago to reunite with his estranged wife after dealing with corruption at his former post in Miami, his style differs from Boden’s, but he quickly established respect and allegiance among the crew at 51. He is widowed towards the end of Season 13, and works through his grief by staying on duty.
