Chicago Fire season 12 is set to take viewers on a thrilling ride as showrunner Andrea Newman confirms that Kelly Severide will go missing not long after his return to Firehouse 51. This development comes on the heels of the departure of Sylvie Brett, played by Kara Killmer, who left the team after marrying Matt Casey in episode 6 of the current season.
The show has been no stranger to cast changes, with Chief Boden's team facing challenges following the exits of key characters like Blake Gallo. Now, the absence of Taylor Kinney's Severide will further shake up the dynamics at Firehouse 51.
In an upcoming episode described as a 'self-contained thriller,' viewers will witness a mysterious turn of events as Severide goes missing, prompting his wife Stella Kidd to embark on a mission to find him. The episode kicks off with a startling discovery - Severide's disappearance and the presence of his phone on the squad table, with no one else around.
Severide's return to Firehouse 51 in season 12 marked a significant moment, but his dedication to his work as a fire cop has strained his relationship with Kidd. His involvement in arson cases has raised concerns about his future at the firehouse, especially as his priorities seem to lie elsewhere.
While Severide's storyline hints at a possible exit, there is no confirmation yet on Kinney's departure from the show. The character's journey and conflicts with Kidd suggest a potential shift in his role, possibly leading to a full-time position as a fire cop.
As fans eagerly await the unfolding of Severide's fate, the show faces the challenge of navigating his character's arc amidst the backdrop of other recent cast departures. The future of Severide and his impact on Firehouse 51 remain uncertain, adding an element of suspense to the ongoing season.
Chicago Fire, part of Dick Wolfe's acclaimed Chicago franchise, airs every Wednesday on NBC, offering viewers a glimpse into the lives of Chicago's brave firefighters and paramedics. With an ensemble cast led by Jesse Spencer, the show continues to captivate audiences with its gripping storytelling and compelling characters.
