Exclusive: Shocking Departure of Another Key Cast Member Shakes Chicago Fire Fans – Find Out Who's Leaving Now!

Chicago Fire fans are in for another emotional blow as two more beloved cast members prepare to say goodbye.

Jake Lockett, who plays Firefighter Sam Carver, and Daniel Kyri, known for portraying Firefighter Darren Ritter, are officially exiting the series at the end of Season 13. Their departures follow a series of major cast shake-ups, leaving viewers stunned and uncertain about the future of Firehouse 51.

Lockett joined the show in Season 11 and quickly became a fan favorite. His character, Carver, brought intensity, charm, and fresh energy to the team. Rising from recurring to series regular, his arc had only just started to settle — making his departure all the more surprising.

Meanwhile, Daniel Kyri has been a staple since Season 7. His portrayal of Darren Ritter offered heart, humanity, and emotional depth. His bond with his fellow firefighters, especially in moments of crisis, earned him a special place in viewers' hearts.

These departures come shortly after Eamonn Walker, who played Chief Wallace Boden since Season 1, stepped down as a series regular — though he will return in a guest role. With so many fan favorites leaving, the dynamic at Firehouse 51 is shifting fast.

Producers have remained tight-lipped about why Lockett and Kyri are moving on, but the fanbase is already in mourning. Many worry that the core chemistry that made Chicago Fire a hit is being dismantled piece by piece.

As Season 13 continues, fans are left wondering: who’s next — and can the show survive the loss of so many key players?
