‘Chicago Fire’ is undergoing a leadership change ahead of its 15th season.

Andrea Newman, who has served as a producer since the show’s debut and as showrunner for three seasons, will exit the series at the conclusion of Season 14. Co-executive producer Victor Teran will assume the role of showrunner for the next season, which is set to premiere in the 2026-27 TV season alongside Chicago Med and Chicago PD.

Newman Reflects on Her Legacy

“Working at ‘Chicago Fire,’ with the absolute best cast and crew in the business, has been the highlight of my career,” Newman stated. “Like so many others, I was inspired to get into TV writing because of Dick [Wolf], so what a thrill it’s been to work with him and the amazing Wolf team of Peter Jankowski, Rebecca McGill and Anastasia Puglisi. I’m so grateful to them, Derek Haas and the NBC and Universal execs who have been so supportive of the show all along the way. After 14 years, you really do become a family and working with this group will always feel like home.”

Newman’s departure marks the end of an era for the long-running series, which has been a staple of NBC’s One Chicago franchise since its debut.
