‘Chicago Fire’ Season 14 Adds a Dick Wolf Alum After Two Major Exits

   

Following the cancellation of the Dick Wolf-produced half-hour procedural On Call, one of its stars, Brandon Larracuente, is moving on — to another Dick Wolf show.

Variety reports that Larracuente has been cast in the upcoming fourteenth season of Chicago Fire, set to premiere this fall on NBC. He joins the long-running procedural in an undisclosed role, but it's being reported that the character will have a significant arc. Larracuente starred alongside Troian Bellisario in On Call as a rookie, but the show was cancelled after the first season.

Larracuente's addition to Chicago Fire does not bode well for On Call. The show had a complicated relationship with Prime Video because even after an initial two-season deal, the streamer opted to pass on the second season. However, they agreed to relinquish the show's rights if it was to find a new home. Peacock was considered a potential new home, according to the latest news. Larracuente's new role may not be conducive to producing another season of On Call. However, given that Peacock is owned by NBCUniversal, the parent company of Chicago Fire's broadcaster, everything might work out. We'll have to wait and see. On Call had found a significant audience and topped TV charts after release.

"You can only have two people on engine, two people on squad, and then who goes where. And so yeah, it’ll be tight, and we’ll probably see some rotations of people coming in and covering and that can get messy, it’s not as clean, and mistakes can get made when that happens out in the field because the communication’s not as easy. So yeah, I think that’ll be a bumpy and exciting road for the team."
