The clip’s blend of adorability and charisma has reignited interest among “Chi-Hards,” with many expressing their anticipation for more of such moments in the new season.
Kinney’s emboldened performance aligns with his longstanding connection to Chicago, a theme he has embraced both on and off screen. In a 2022 interview, he reflected on his affection for the city, remarking, “This is home. Times have changed, and the city has changed, and people have grown… the city has been good to me. I love the city. I’ve gotten to know it through my work.”
Upcoming Season 13 Details
Fans will not have to wait long to see Kinney and the rest of the “Chicago Fire” cast back in action. Season 13 is set to premiere on September 25 at 9/8c on NBC, returning to its regular Wednesday time slot. Episodes from this season will also stream the following day on Peacock, making it easier for viewers to catch up on their favorite moments.
While specific plot details remain largely under wraps, the showrunners have hinted at a season filled with fresh twists and an evolution of challenges for the characters. Kara Killmer, who previously portrayed Sylvie Brett, emphasized the enduring core of humor and friendship that continues to be pivotal to the show’s appeal. “There is such a core principle of humor and friendship that continues to keep [us] going,” she noted, suggesting that viewers can expect a blend of laughs and drama in the new season.
New Faces in the Firehouse
Season 13 will introduce Dermot Mulroney as the new fire chief, Dom Pascal, succeeding Eamonn Walker, whose character’s departure marks a significant transition for the team at Firehouse 51.

Newman also mentioned that viewers can expect a darker tone this season, with a focus on new challenges that test the characters in unforeseen ways. Her comments indicate a deliberate exploration of deeper themes, which could add complexity to the beloved ensemble’s dynamics.
