The One Chicago Instagram page posted a clip promoting the new seasons of Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, and Chicago Med in August 2024. The short clip begins with Miranda Rae Mayo’s Stella Kidd starring at a roaring fire, and her voice narrates, “People always ask me, ‘Do you ever get scared?'” Then, Jason Beghe’s Hank Voight from Chicago PD appears and continues, “I tell ’em, ‘Yeah, all the time.'” Marlyne Barrett’s Maggie Lockwood from Chicago Med finishes the video by saying, “But I never let it stop me.”
Given that Stella was the one chosen to lead the Chicago Fire segment of the video, I believe she will be the new face of the show. Of course, Voight is the main Chicago PD cast member, and Maggie is seemingly taking over as Chicago Med’s leader after Nick Gehlfuss’ Will Halstead left the series. So, NBC has apparently declared that Stella is Chief Boden’s official replacement, but only in regard to her role on the show, not to her position in Firehouse 51. Dermot Mulroney is still replacing Boden as the chief in Chicago Fire season 13.
