Chicago Fire is just a few weeks away from wrapping its eleventh season, and the hit NBC drama has a treat in store for fans before heading into summer hiatus. Jesse Spencer will return for his second guest appearance of Season 11 for the finale, reprising his role as Matt Casey. Unfortunately, there's also some bad news: Taylor Kinney reportedly will not appear as Kelly Severide, meaning that fans have already seen the last of the character this season due to his leave of absence.
Jesse Spencer will return in the Season 11 finale while Taylor Kinney's leave of absence continues, according to TVLine. The news comes not long after Chicago Fire (as well as Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med) was renewed for the 2023-2024 TV season, although with the expectation of actors appearing in fewer episodes. It's not clear at this point what the explanation will be for Severide's absence, but his last appearance was in late February, with the OFI explanation coming in early March.
