THEY’RE BACK AND EVERYTHING CHANGES: Severide, Kidd, and Chief Pascal Return to Chicago Fire Season 14

The firehouse doors may be closed for now, but the heat behind Chicago Fire is blazing hotter than ever. As fans count down the days until the return of Season 14, a wave of relief and excitement is sweeping through the fandom: three of Firehouse 51’s most beloved figures—Lieutenant Kelly Severide, Firefighter Stella Kidd, and Chief Dominick “Dom” Pascal—are officially back. Their return not only stabilizes the emotional core of the series but also sets the stage for some of the most explosive storytelling in the show’s history.

After seasons of heartbreak, departures, and uncertainty, the confirmation that Taylor Kinney (Severide), Miranda Rae Mayo (Kidd), and Dermot Mulroney (Pascal) have signed new contracts is more than just a casting update—it’s a promise. A promise that Chicago Fire will continue to ground its action-packed drama in deeply human characters whose stories resonate far beyond the flames.Chicago Fire' Finale: Boss on Kidd's Pregnancy, Stellaride, Dermot Mulroney Returning in Season 14 (Exclusive)

Severide’s return is a particularly welcome one. A pillar of courage and unpredictability, his absence was felt deeply in Season 13. Whether diving into a blazing inferno or navigating personal struggles, Severide’s presence has always brought a raw, emotional edge to the firehouse. His bond with Stella Kidd has anchored the series emotionally for years, and now, with their surprise pregnancy revealed in the Season 13 finale, fans can expect to see the couple face a brand-new chapter—one that blends the dangers of firefighting with the equally terrifying adventure of impending parenthood.'Chicago Fire' Preview: Scoop On Severide & Kidd's Relationship – Hollywood Life

Stella Kidd, with her fiery independence and unwavering resilience, will face a new set of challenges in balancing her career and motherhood. Her journey promises to explore the often overlooked but deeply relevant themes of women in high-risk professions and the sacrifices they make every day. And with Severide by her side—both as her partner and the soon-to-be father of her child—their arc is bound to deliver some of Season 14’s most compelling moments.

But the emotional weight won’t rest solely on their shoulders. Chief Dom Pascal, who endured a character-defining ordeal in Season 13 after being falsely accused of murder, is also back in action. His near downfall and eventual vindication—thanks in part to Severide’s fierce loyalty—have transformed him into a more complex, compelling leader. As he regains the trust of Firehouse 51, viewers will watch Pascal evolve not just as a commanding officer, but as a man tested by loss, betrayal, and redemption.Stella and Kelly ~ Chicago Fire [12x06] - YouTube

Season 14 won’t be without its trials. The emotional stakes are higher than ever. Stella’s pregnancy brings both joy and uncertainty. Severide’s need to protect his family may conflict with his instincts as a firefighter. And Pascal, though cleared of wrongdoing, may still face fallout from within the department.

Yet amid the chaos, Firehouse 51 remains what it has always been—a family. And now, with these three key players back in place, the foundation feels strong once more.
