NBC has renewed “Chicago Fire” for a second season, the network announced Friday.
The Dick Wolf-produced procedural has been one the Peacock network’s few successful new shows of the 2013 TV season, so “Chicago Fire’s” renewal comes as no surprise. In its debut season, the series has been averaging around 6 million viewers per episode. Season 2 will be 22 episodes and NBC has already commissioned a spinoff that would focus on the Chicago police department.
In addition to “Chicago Fire,” NBC also renewed “Parenthood,” “Grimm,” “Law & Order: SVU” and “Revolution” for new 22-episode seasons.
Yuriy Sardarov, who plays Otis on “Chicago Fire,” which also stars Taylor Kinney and Jesse Spencer, tweeted a photo of the cast on set, celebrating the renewal:
So happy about the pick-up!
And an alternate universe where, for some reason, so sad about the pick-up!
Scripted television shows often nod to real-life current events — notably, “Glee” recently did a school shooting episode in the wake of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School. But don’t expect NBC’s “Chicago Fire” to address or incorporate the Boston Marathon bombing into its storylines for Season 2.
When asked whether he’d put his Chicago firefighters in a similar situation or try to pay homage to the Boston FD, Executive Producer Dick Wolf — flanked by stars Taylor Kinney and Jesse Spencer — said he had no plans for such an episode. “It’s tough,” he tells the press at NBC’s Summer Press Day on Monday. “Dealing with terrorism is very very tough. The last thing we want to do is exploit a tragedy, and that is so specific, that it would be difficult.”
He is, however, planning other stories for Season 2, though NBC has yet to officially announce a pickup. “This show is growing,” he says. “Hopefully it’s coming back. And hopefully it will be doing better next year. This has been an incredibly positive experience this season, for everyone involved in the show.”
As for rumors of a potential spinoff, Wolf declines to comment. “There is always talk about every possible permutation of what could happen, but again, those of you who have known me for a long time, I never talk about development. I’m always optimistic.” There are reports, however, that NBC is developing a spinoff with Wolf about Chicago police, and that the initial seeds for such a series will be planted in the upcoming May 15 Season 1 finale.
Spencer chimes in, “I think it’s a good idea.”
Mills finds himself the target of resentment from some colleagues when Severide supports his desire to join Squad. Tara, a paramedic candidate, joins Dawson and Shay on the job for a few shifts. Meanwhile, Shay comes to the aid of Cindy Herrmann, who suffers from pregnancy complications while her husband Christopher is out of town. Elsewhere, Dawson and Casey draw closer as the grand opening of Molly’s draws near, and Casey receives a surprise visit.
