Chicago Fire has already gone through many changes in Season 14, and there's still nearly half of the season left to go in the 2026 TV schedule. After Firehouse 51 lost both Carver and Ritter from the ranks of first responders, Mouch was then cut from the crew and transferred to another house. Stella's break was fortunately short, but Dermot Mulroney is on his way out as Chief Pascal. I wasn't too surprised by the news in light of recent developments for Severide, but One Chicago is adding a new character played by somebody Stranger Things fans will recognize.
Pascal's last episode for the foreseeable future will be Episode 14, according to Deadline, which at least indicates that he'll be in the mix for the crossover event involving a passenger jet in early March. Due to NBC's upcoming One Chicago break while the 2026 Winter Olympics take over much of primetime in February, that means Pascal will make it into March, but his future any further down the line is uncertain. The break will reportedly last until the end of Season 14, with the possibility of him returning before the final credits roll on the season.
