Damon’s presence in Chicago Fire Season 13 will significantly affect his half-brother, Kelly Severide. Following the shocking revelation in Season 12, the succeeding season finds Kelly acclimating to working with a sibling he never knew he had. Having Damon around will affect everything, from his work to his personal life. But since work and personal life are intricately entangled for Severide, one will affect the other. Chicago Fire’s showrunner Andrea Newman talked to The Hollywood Reporter about what viewers can expect in the upcoming season. She previewed the Damon and Severide arc and how it affects Kelly’s marriage with Stella.
“It’s going to be a big thing for Severide,” Newman said of the Damon arc. “Severide was already thinking about family at the end of last season, and we had a conversation between him and Kidd about starting a family. And then it’s revealed at the end of last season that he has this half-brother,” she continued, revealing the overlap between Kelly’s desires and reality. Newman added how it affects Stella, saying:
“That relationship is going to come into play in a big way at the beginning of this season, because it involves Kidd too, because she’s Damon’s boss as his lieutenant. So, there is the fact that he’s related and then, that he kept the secret. That’s going to be a big factor in their relationship and kind of creates a trio of those three.”
