Chicago Fire season 12 will continue the long-running procedural after 11 successful seasons on the air, meaning there’s plenty more drama to come. Produced by TV juggernaut Dick Wolf, Chicago Fire follows the men and women of Chicago’s Firehouse 51 as they face down various deadly emergencies throughout their city. Debuting in 2012, Chicago Fire proved to be an instant hit and was followed by spinoffs, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med. Like many of Wolf’s projects, Chicago Fire manages to balance its procedural elements with the day-to-day lives of its characters, which makes the show all the more gripping.
Chicago Fire season 11 ended with both highs and shocking lows. Severide and Kidd are starting to watch their marriage crumble, Sylvie got to adopt a baby, and Casey returns and proposes to Brett. However, the biggest cliffhanger heading into Chicago Fire season 12 was Mouch getting shot while on duty. Though Chicago Fire is now firmly in its second decade on the air, it shows no signs of stopping after season 12.
Chicago Fire Season 12 Latest News
After lengthy delays, the latest news regarding the popular firefighting series sees a new trailer for Chicago Fire season 12 released. In the joint teaser for the entire One Chicago universe that is also returning early in 2024, Taylor Kinney is revealed in his return as the popular character of Kelly Severide. Severide departed the series in the middle of season 11, but his return has long been a source of speculation within the fanbase.
Chicago Fire Is Renewed For Season 12
With NBC’s Chicago Fire season 12 renewal announcement (via NBC), Wolf’s projects will have accounted for over 80 cumulative seasons on the network. Considering the popularity of the series and its spinoffs, it came as no surprise when all the Law & Order and Chicago shows were renewed in April 2023. Chicago Fire season 12 was given the green light weeks before the ending of season 11, and serves as a vote of confidence for the long-running procedural to go even further into its second decade.
Chicago Fire Season 12 Release Date
The release date for Chicago Fire season 12 is January 17, 2024, and the Dick Wolf show will be returning alongside the rest of the One Chicago block. When NBC announced the renewal of Chicago Fire season 12, the network listed Fall 2023 as when the series would return, although that has changed completely. Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med were all pushed off the 2023 schedule because of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes halting production.
