‘Chicago Fire’ Boss Teases ‘Tension’ Between Stellaride, Jesse Spencer’s Return and Kara Killmer and Alberto Rosende’s Emotional Exits
variety.comEmily Longeretta Season 12 of “Chicago Fire” may be a shortened season, but it’s going to be an emotional rollercoaster, according to executive producer Andrea Newman.
In a new interview with Variety, Newman — who became the sole showrunner this season after previously serving as co-showrunner with Derek Haas — teased that the new season “really jumps out with a bang, literally.” With both Alberto Rosende and Kara Killmer, who portray Blake Gallo and Sylvie Brett, respectively, exiting the series this year, and the return of Taylor Kinney’s Kelly Severide, nothing is off limits.
In the Season 11 finale, Casey (Jesse Spencer) proposed to Sylvie — who is wearing a ring in the below photo, for what it’s worth — Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) left town to go find her husband and Mouch (Christian Stolte) was left bleeding out in the hospital after being hit by shrapnel during a call.
Season 12, premiering on Jan. 17 at 9 p.m. ET, will pick up six months after the last episode. Read Variety‘s full Q&A with Newman below. Heading into the premiere, we have a character leaving and an update on Mouch.
