NBC and Peacock’s Chicago Fire is an American procedural drama series that first premiered its season 1 on October 16, 2012, and was created by Derek Haas and Michael Brandt.

The central storyline and plot of the show focus on the lives of the firefighters at the Chicago Firehouse 51 and how they deal with dangerous and emotional situations that arise.

A few of the central cast members of the show are Jesse Spencer, Taylor Kinney, and Kara Killmer.

The show is currently on its 14th season. The last episode that it had aired in season 14 was episode 7 on November 12, 2025, and it was titled ‘Pierce the Vein’. The seventh episode of season 14 was meant to be the fall finale episode of the NBC drama, and the next episode from season 14 is all set to air on January 7, 2026.

Every year, towards the end of the year, from fall to the new year, NBC takes some time off from its sitcoms.

Season 14 of Chicago Fire is set to have a sum total of 21 episodes and will resume its regular airing on NBC from January 2026 onwards.

Episode 7 ended with cliffhangers involving Severide being fatally trapped in a building that was burning, while Pascal found out that some upcoming budget cuts would end up decommissioning Firehouse 51 for good.
