Who is Leaving ‘Chicago Fire’ in 2021?

The final episode of Chicago Fire‘s ninth season had a terribly ominous title: “No Survivors.” Tears were shed, and and we may have said our final goodbyes to our favorite stars in the series. If you’re feeling a little nervous heading into Season 10, you’re not alone. Wondering about who might have left the show for good? We’ve got all the insight on who’s leaving, returning, and other rumors swirling around the ending of Chicago Fire‘s ninth and tenth seasons.

The series has been running for nearly a decade as a part of producer Dick Wolf‘s Chicago saga. It led the franchise, which is also home to Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med. The series was been renewed for a tenth and eleventh season at NBC a bit ago, and the tenth season is currently undereway.

So, who is leaving Chicago Fire, and is anyone returning? Here’s everything you need to know about the Chicago Fire cast:

Who is leaving Chicago Fire in 2021?

The one actor whose exit has been confirmed is Adriyan Rae, who will not be returning as paramedic Gianna Mackey in season 10.

Spoilers ahead for folks who haven’t seen the most recent episode of Chicago FireThere is speculation, however, that after Episode 4, “The Right Thing,” OG Matt Casey (Jesse Spencer) will leave the show. He’s sent to Oregon to check in on Griffin and Ben Darden, and after finding a messy house, he’s forced to hold down the fort on his own. With their aunt completely missing in action, Casey may be sequestered to Oregon from this point on. Would that mean he’s leaving Chi-town for good? We’ll have to wait and see in Episode 5, which debuts next week.

Who is joining Chicago Fire in 2021? Is anyone going to return to Chicago Fire?

NBC has not announced any cast additions for Season 10 of Chicago Fire — there is, however, one slight change. Hanako Greensmith has been promoted to series regular this time around, meaning we’ll see quite a bit more of Violet.
