Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Friday that longtime showrunner Andrea Newman will leave after Season 14, and co-executive producer Victor Teran will take over as executive producer and showrunner for Season 15.
- Newman has been with Chicago Fire since 2012, advancing from writer and co-executive producer to co-showrunner in 2021 and sole showrunner in 2023.
- Teran joined the series in Season 10 after work in independent film and studio production, including a VP role at Sidney Kimmel Entertainment and credits on Filly Brown and Snap.
- NBC has renewed Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago P.D. for the 2026–27 season, and the Season 14 finale is scheduled for May 13 on the network’s Wednesday One Chicago lineup.
- Reporting indicates Newman chose to step down, and producers say Teran’s elevation should keep the Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television drama on stable footing.
