‘Chicago Fire’ Will Have A New Chief In Season 13— And It’s Not Who You Think

No, Herrmann (David Eigenberg) will not be Boden’s (Eamonn Walker) successor for reasons as yet unknown. Sources close to production reveal that 51’s new chief Dom Pascal (which could change) will be an entirely new male character who began his career with the CFD but spent the last decade as a chief in Sunny Miami.
Dom is described as a cheerful person who works well under pressure, and whose leadership style differs from Boden’s. He and his wife are estranged.
