Guess what? It seems like Firehouse 51 isn't quite ready to say goodbye to Darren Ritter.
Daniel Kyri, who departed from Chicago Fire as a series regular alongside Jake Lockett at the conclusion of Season 13, has announced that he will reprise his role as Ritter for a brief period in Season 14.
"Back! For a limited time only," Kyri wrote on his Instagram story along with a behind-the-scenes photo.
Ritter was not formally written out of the series at the end of Season 13, presumably leaving the door open for Kyri to return and wrap up his character's storyline. Fire's showrunner Andrea Newman mentioned to TVLine that they didn't have a set plan for addressing his departure, but that there were "a lot of possibilities there."
"We're going to play with all this and see what we get and how much time we get with Daniel, who we love, and the character, who we love," she said.
The Season 13 finale did hint at CFD layoffs, which Newman acknowledged as a potential explanation for some character exits. The layoffs twist "wasn't even done intentionally for that, but because it's so in the zeitgeist, people coming in and gutting departments and gutting places, it's very real to the CFD."
"We're going to have a lot of turnover," Newman added, "and a lot of craziness going on in the CFD from the top, where people are being cut and moved, and everything's going to get shaken up next season.
Are you excited that Ritter will be back for a short time in Season 14? Leave a comment.
