What happened in season eight?

Chicago Fire recently ended its eighth season, but it had to be cut short due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that arrived earlier this year.  Toward the end of the season, Sylvie Brett had gotten to connect with her birth mother, Julie. Julie and her husband had moved to Chicago to live closer to Brett. Unfortunately, Julie died giving birth, and her husband moved away with his new infant daughter. 

On top of Brett losing her mother, her partner, Emily Foster, revealed that she plans to leave the station to finish her medical studies at Northwestern. While Foster is leaving the show, Chicago Fire introduces new characters, like Gianna Mackey. 

Meanwhile, the show leaves off with Gallo and Violet deciding whether to break up or get married. A gas explosion left Capp injured and with the possibility of losing his eyesight. The last episode of the season left fans wondering what will happen to the characters. 

What season nine will bring

Fans can expect season nine to look a lot different. There are several things to look forward to in the next season. For one, there are going to be new regular characters on the show. Mackey is Firehouse 51’s new paramedic and Brett’s new partner.  

Then, there is Darren Ritter changing from a reoccurring character to a permanent part of the cast. Ritter was once a rookie firefighter that appeared several times before. He became popular among fans, so the creators decided to make him a regular character. 

Since coronavirus has had such an impact on everyone, the creators of Chicago Fire plan to incorporate the safety measures to keep everyone safe. People will be practicing social distancing and wearing masks and there will also be fewer civilians appearing in the station.

Since season eight got cut short, fans can expect season nine to finish some storylines. Derek Haas, the show’s executive producer, said in an interview that they planned to switch some season-ending storylines into season-starting ones. Fans may witness Capt. Matt Casey and Brett’s friendship grow stronger in the coming episodes. 

Fans will not want to miss the season premiere
