‘Chicago Fire’ Episode Will Feature A “Unique Format” In Order To Include Walker’s Boden
“We’re so excited to have our beloved Chief Boden back,” explained Newman, adding that “the episode, titled ‘Post-Mortem,’ is a thrill ride unlike any we’ve done before. Told with flashbacks and unique POVs, Chief Boden leads our team on a search to discover the how, who, and why of a fierce firefight that ended in disaster.”
Explaining the rationale behind Boden’s exit, Newman framed it as remaining true to the reality of these workplaces:
“Boden had a speech at the end of last season, about change being inevitable. We try to keep it real, and people do come and go from firehouses. But the big change is obviously the new chief coming in.”
