Chicago Fire<\/span> continues its hot streak with season 12, and the Chicago PD and Chicago Med spin-offs continue to fare well with audiences, too. <\/span><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s all thanks to TV mastermind Dick Wolf, who created the One Chicago universe in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, actually, not just Wolf. Chicago Fire<\/a> might be his baby, but over the years, a plethora of writers, actors and plenty more have helped create one of the most successful procedurals America has seen since NCIS<\/a> first started airing eight years earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Join us here at RadioTimes.com<\/a> as we reveal everything you need to know about Chicago Fire season 12 release date, which airs on NBC in the US and Sky and NOW in the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will there be a Chicago Fire season 12?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Have no fear: Chicago Fire will definitely be coming back for a 12th season, and both Chicago PD and Chicago Med are set to return as well. <\/span><\/p>\n

With Wolf\u2019s One Chicago universe continuing on stronger than ever, it\u2019s possible that more crossovers could soon be heading our way in future seasons. In fact, we\u2019d say it\u2019s a given.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chicago Fire season 12 release date speculation: When could it air?<\/b><\/h2>\n

As is often the case with procedurals of this nature, Chicago Fire usually returns to us in the autumn each year, but due to the strike organised by SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America, season 12 has been pushed back to an unspecified time<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If we had to take a guess, it appears that new episodes probably won\u2019t arrive on our screens until 2024 at the very earliest, and that\u2019s only if the unions involved are satisfied some time soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Longtime fans will recall that similar delays impacted the franchise in 2020, when production ground to a halt thanks to Covid-related issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chicago Fire season 12 cast: Who could return?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Chicago Fire fans can expect to see the following stars return in season 12:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • David Eigenberg as Lieutenant Christopher Herrmann<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Joe Minoso as Joe Cruz<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Miranda Rae Mayo as Lt Stella Kidd<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Kara Killmer\u2019s return as Sylvie Brett<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Alberto Rosende as Blake Gallo<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Daniel Kyri as Darren Ritter<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Hanako Greensmith as Violet Mikami\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Christian Stolte\u2019s future with the show is now in question following the events of season 11\u2019s dramatic finale. Randall \u201cMouch\u201d McHolland appeared to be recovering from his gunshot injury until Herrmann suddenly saw him flatline in hospital as blood soaked through his blanket. <\/span><\/p>\n

    While he could still pull through, this wouldn\u2019t be the first time that the writers have killed off a major character on this show.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Taylor Kinney\u2019s future as Kelly Severide is also in doubt still after the star took a temporary leave of absence. Fans hoping to see him return are waiting for more news, but without any updates \u2013 not to mention the filming delays now taking place \u2013 we might not find out the truth for quite some time.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Is there a trailer for Chicago Fire season 12?<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Fans waiting for new footage of Chicago Fire season 12 might be waiting for quite some time. New promotional materials won\u2019t be released while the strikes are still going on, but once that is settled, a season 12 trailer could arrive as soon as winter 2023, or perhaps early 2024 depending on how things go.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>
