Latest News About Chicago Fire Cast

Here’s the latest on Chicago Fire cast shifts based on recent reporting (through 2025):

• Daniel Kyri (Darren Ritter) and Jake Lockett (Sam Carver) exited the series and were not expected to return for season 14 if the show was renewed. The departures were described as part of budget-cut efforts at Wolf Entertainment ahead of the 2025-26 renewal period.
• Michael Bradway (Jack Damon) was also reported to be leaving ahead of season 14, with reports linking his exit to a new role in Prime Video’s adaptation of Every Summer After. He did not confirm a return to Chicago Fire, leaving open the possibility he could return in the future if scheduling allows.
