Is a New Chicago Fire Episode on Tonight? (March 2023)

The action has been heating up on Chicago Fire. But unfortunately for those waiting on the edge of their seats, they'll need to wait a little longer to find out what happens. 

We last checked in on Firehouse 51 as Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) investigated a strange fire at a stable while Kylie dealt with the ongoing tensions of departmental budget cuts. Meanwhile, Cindy's (Robyn Coffin) battle with cancer has been challenging, with Herrmann (David Eigenberg) becoming increasingly concerned as her condition worsens.

With so much up in the air, it's safe to say viewers are eager to learn what's coming down the pipeline. Here's what you need to know about when new Chicago Fire episodes will be back and your questions will be answered.
