According to Parade, when Chicago Fire picks back up for the new season, there is a two-month time jump. The showrunner, Derek Haas, revealed that, “We’re going to move about two months into the future from when the finale took place. So, we usually do that just to line it up with summer unless we have a cliffhanger where you just need to see the next two minutes, and then we usually time jump within the episode. This one we’re time jumping before the episode starts.”
Episode 1 of the new season is titled “A Closer Eye” and the plot description of the premiere episode states, “Reeling from Dawson’s continued absence, Casey makes a rash move during a rescue, while Brett struggles with a series of replacement partners; meanwhile, Boden faces scrutiny from Commissioner Grissom, who sends his deputy to monitor Firehouse 51.” The second episode of the season is called “Going to War” and the description of episode 2 reads, “Firehouse 51 bands together to fight a raging fire on the 20th floor of the residential high-rise where Jay and Will Halstead’s father lives and has gone missing; in the midst of the chaos, Brett learns unsettling information about her new partner.”
The third episodes of the new season is called “Thirty Percent Sleight of Hand”. The description of episode 3 reads, “Severide investigates a victim’s motives after rescuing him and his child from a car accident; Boden clashes with Gorsch over appointing a new lieutenant; Mouch reaches out to a fellow firefighter; Cruz discovers he has a new admirer.”
The new season airs on Wednesday nights, from 9 – 10 p.m. ET/PT and 8 – 9 p.m. CT.
