Chicago Fire is going to look a little different going into Season 15 on the 2026 TV schedule. The Season 14 finale ended on a cliffhanger that put multiple members of Firehouse 51 in danger during a call, so fans have been preparing themselves for a possible death or two amidst other behind-the-scenes changes throughout Season 14. But there is finally some good news!Chicago Fire’s Recent String Of Bad NewsFor a show like Chicago Fire that has been on for a long time, changes are inevitable, and the series was hit with both cast and crew exits. The biggest behind-the-scenes shakeup came when Andrea Newman stepped down as showrunner in April. She had been with the drama for all 14 seasons and was at the creative helm for the last three seasons. Co-executive producer Victor Teran, who joined in Season 10, is serving as the new showrunner and executive producer.On the casting side, fans had to say goodbye to Jake Lockett’s Sam Carver at the end of Season 13 and Daniel Kyri’s Darren Ritter at the beginning of Season 14. Dermot Mulroney was absent for a chunk of the second half of Season 14 as Chief Dom Pascal, with Rob Morgan stepping in as Chief Andre Hopkins. After Hopkins’ four-episode arc was completed, Pascal was back on-screen in the season finale. The Good News Chicago Fire Fans Have Been Waiting ForFollowing a handful of exits and changes, someone new is officially joining Firehouse 51. Deadline reports that BMF star Da’Vinchi has been cast as Marcus Burke, a firefighter candidate who is roguish and funny “with a wry sense of humor.” The character is also described as a “little defiant.”(Image credit: The CW)Born Abraham D. Juste, the Haitian-American actor is best known for his role as Terry “Southwest T” Flenory in Starz’s BMF, Darnell Hayes in The CW’s All American, and Cash Mooney in Freeform’s Black-ish spinoff, Grown-ish. He can also be seen in Jessica Jones, Lethal Weapon, The Boys, The Way Back, and more. You never know what will happen when someone new joins Chicago Fire, because they could either be the perfect fit for the firehouse or completely wrong. The fact that Marcus is a rogue firefighter who can be defiant is troubling, but he’s far from the only one who has been either at 51. If anything, it’s nice to get a piece of good news about Chicago Fire after all of this bad news and all these exits. Fans will have to tune in to the Season 15 premiere on Wednesday, October 7 at 9 p.m. ET on NBC to see how Marcus fits in. All seasons of Chicago Fire are streaming with a Peacock subscription in the meantime.
