Created by Derek Haas and Michael Brandt, Chicago Fire debuted on NBC in 2012. The show celebrated its 250th episode with Season 12, Episode 11, “Inside Man.” Speaking to CBR in May, Newman offered some insight into what fans can expect going forward. “There’s the challenge of what’s the next cool call?

“What’s the next little obstacle to throw in their path? And what’s the next step that can bring out the darker side to a character – something that triggers something for them, and they have a different kind of evolution. It’s been a constant challenge, but in the best way,” Newman continued. “[It’s] a real gift to have these characters that you want to see grow and take unexpected turns.
