Latest News About Chicago Fire Cast

Here’s the latest available on Chicago Fire cast changes:

• Two series regulars are leaving ahead of Season 14: Daniel Kyri (Darren Ritter) and Jake Lockett (Sam Carver) are not expected to return if the show is renewed, with reports attribute the exits to budget cuts within Wolf Entertainment. Their departures were first reported by Deadline and later covered by multiple outlets, signaling a significant cast shake-up for Chicago Fire.[1][2][3][5]
• A third cast member, Michael Bradway (Jack Damon), was reported to be exiting ahead of Season 14 as well, reportedly to pursue another project; there were notes that producers would remain open to bringing him back in the future if schedules align. This broader wave marked a notable turnover for the Firehouse 51 lineup.[4][5][1]
