NBC has renewed all three One Chicago series — Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. — for the 2024-25 season. Med was renewed for Season 10, Fire for Season 13 and P.D. for Season 12. The trio of shows returned in January following a long break due to the dual writers and actors strikes with shortened seasons.
Chicago Fire will say goodbye to Kara Killmer during the NBC show’s twelfth season. It is as yet unknown how many episodes her character Sylvie Brett will appear in. Killmer joined the popular procedural during its third season with Sylvie serving as a central character throughout.
The actor took a leave of absence from the NBC drama in the latter part of the 2022-23 season.
NBC earlier this week picked up all six Wolf Entertainment series — Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Chicago Med, Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order: Organized Crime — for next season. The renewals came with an asterisk as casts were told that they will appear in fewer episodes next year. The development comes on the heels of CBS recently renewing veteran drama Blue Bloods for a 14th season after the cast agreed to a 25% pay cut. And, the actors on another recently renewed CBS series, comedy Bob ❤️ Abishola, also had to agree to a substantial, double-digit salary reduction for the show to get a Season 5 renewal. (According to sources, it was less than 25%). Blue Bloods comes from CBS sibling CBS Studios, Bob ❤️ Abishola from an outside supplier, Warner Bros. TV.

Taylor Kinney, who portrays Kelly Severide on Chicago Fire, is stepping away from the NBC drama. A source close to production confirms that the actor is on a leave of absence to deal with a person matter. Kinney has led the Dick Wolf series since its debut in 2012. In addition to the firefighter series, he has appeared on all of the spinoffs, including Chicago Med, Chicago P.D. and the short-lived Chicago Justice.
Dick Wolf’s Chicago Fire was the second most-watched primetime show of the week on the broadcast networks and tied for the lead among adults 18-49 after a week of delayed viewing (excluding football in both cases). Franchise mates Chicago PD and Chicago Med also made the top 10 in both measures.

A few years ago, the producer behind the Law & Order empire at NBC saw his three primetime shows cut back to one, and was stung when the original series was canceled just shy of setting a record for the longest-running scripted prime-time show.
