Chicago Fire Season 14 is coming to a close on NBC.
The latest season has been a bit disjointed, so hopefully the writers have good plans for the coming weeks.
Part of the disconnect for fans has been the cost-cutting measures. To save money, the show has its stars appear in fewer episodes. Plus, NBC has ordered fewer than before.
Having characters mysteriously missing for weeks on end can be frustrating.
But the good news is that the show continues to pump out new content. And NBC has already ordered Chicago Fire Season 15 for next year.
How many episodes are there in Chicago Fire Season 14?
Chicago Fire Season 14 reportedly has 21 episodes. That’s fewer than the 22 from Season 13.
Episode 16 debuts on April 1. That leaves only five more episodes after the exciting installment.
“Severide overcomes new obstacles at the firehouse. Cruz finds himself at a loss amid family changes,” reads the synopsis for April 1 (Firehouse 66).
Viewers will also be introduced to a new main character. It could cause friction as the season progresses.
When is the Chicago Fire season finale?
NBC previously announced that Brilliant Minds will return on Wednesday, May 27, at 8/7c.
This means the Chicago Fire season finale will have to air before then.
According to one source, the final episode airs on May 13. The season may end on May 20, but we need further confirmation from the network.
Below is the breakdown of what Futon Critic states for the remainder of Season 14:
- April 1: Episode 16 (Firehouse 66)
- April 8: Episode 17 (Sway)
- April 15: Repeat Episode
- April 22: Episode 18 (TBD)
- April 29: Episode 19 (TBD)
- May 6: Episode 20 (TBD)
- May 13: Episode 21 – Season Finale (TBD)
So, many new episodes are coming this spring. But then the show heads out for its long summer hiatus. Luckily, Season 15 is ready to debut in the fall.
More drama to come from Chicago Fire Season 14
Chicago Fire has a new chief, and here is where you know him from. His first appearance is during the April 1 episode, which could cause friction with Kelly Severide.
Previously, the city fired Chief Dom Pascal. Dermot Mulroney played the part, but he has to step away to work on his other show, The Hunting Wives.
How will this season end? The show is known for its cliffhangers, and with the renewal in tow, the writers could leave us gasping for air again.
