The One Chicago crossover was a success for 2026. So, it’s no surprise that there will be opportunity for more.
NBC’s long-running drama Chicago Fire was renewed for Season 15 on Friday, March 27. That’s no surprise since it’s ranked third among the network’s scripted shows in the key demo among adults 18-49 and for total viewers. But when it does return in the 2o26-2027 season, it will do so with a new showrunner. Andrea Newman is exiting after being part of the series’ entire run, as co-executive producer, then executive producer, then co-showrunner, then showrunner. Co-executive producer Victor Teran will be the new showrunner, Deadline reports.
“Working at Chicago Fire, with the absolute best cast and crew in the business, has been the highlight of my career,” Newman said in a statement to the outlet. “Like so many others, I was inspired to get into TV writing because of Dick, so what a thrill it’s been to work with him and the amazing Wolf team of Peter Jankowski, Rebecca McGill and Anastasia Puglisi. I’m so grateful to them, Derek Haas and the NBC and Universal execs who have been so supportive of the show all along the way. After 14 years, you really do become a family and working with this group will always feel like home.”
