Dermot Mulroney to Leave Chicago Fire After One Final Season 15 Episode

He finished filming his last episode in late July as producers plan to write Chief Dom Pascal out before the series returns in October.

Overview

  • Mulroney told fans at Flashback Weekend that he completed filming his final Chicago Fire episode on Tuesday, July 28 and will appear in a single Season 15 installment that will write out Chief Dom Pascal.
  • Multiple outlets report that original cast member Joe Miñoso will appear only in a handful of early Season 15 episodes, a detail that NBC has not formally confirmed.
  • Trade reporting says Victor Teran has replaced Andrea Newman as showrunner, a production leadership change that outlets say could alter the series’ creative direction though network details remain limited.
  • Mulroney said the show’s long, emotionally intense storylines took a toll on him after portraying Pascal through a demanding arc, and he described leaving the cast as sad while praising his colleagues and the show’s service-focused impact.
  • Chicago Fire’s Season 15 is scheduled to premiere on Oct. 7 on NBC, and Mulroney’s scripted exit is one of several roster and behind-the-scenes shifts that will reshape Firehouse 51 going into the new season.
