Daniel Kyri, Others Return for Limited Chicago Fire Run

Daniel Kyri, who played Darren Ritter on NBC's Chicago Fire, will return for a limited appearance in Season 14 after exiting as a series regular at the end of Season 13. Kyri confirmed his brief comeback on Instagram with co-stars, noting he is not returning for a full-time role. The show did not provide a formal send-off for Ritter in the Season 13 finale, leaving his storyline unresolved and set for closure in upcoming episodes. Showrunner Andrea Newman has highlighted major cast turnover and budget-driven changes, with actors Jake Lockett (Sam Carver) and Michael Bradway (Jack Damon) also departing. These developments are driven by both production realities and evolving storylines. Season 14 is scheduled to premiere October 1 on NBC and Peacock.
