Although it’s still sad that Jesse Spencer is not a part of the main cast of Chicago Fire season 13, his next project is exciting and falls in line with his goals following his exit. Spencer previously explained that he left the NBC procedural drama because he wanted to move back to Australia, where he was born and raised. So, it makes sense that Spencer’s first post-Chicago Fire series is Last Days of the Space Age, an Australian drama filmed in various parts of Australia.
Spencer is making good on his promise following his departure from Chicago Fire, which makes Matt Casey’s exit a little more bearable. The actor is starring in Australian-made projects like Last Days of the Space Age. Meanwhile, Chicago PD actor Jesse Lee Soffer exited the series for a fresh start, only to return to a Dick Wolf show, FBI: International, two years later. So, at least Spencer is venturing outside the world of NBC procedural shows and Chicago Fire, and it helps that Last Days of the Space Age looks like it will be very good.
