\n\tThe following reveals major plot points from tonight\u2019s Chicago Fire<\/a> Season 15 premiere.<\/p>\n

\n\tNBC<\/a>\u2018s\u00a0Chicago Fire\u00a0returned tonight with its fifteenth-season premiere, picking up after an intense Season 14 finale that left most of 51\u2019s best with their lives on the line. While the team survived mostly unscathed, the series is looking different as showrunner Victor Teran takes the helm.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the end of July, we confirmed the news that Dermot Mulroney<\/a> would be leaving the hit series after two seasons playing Battalion Chief Dominic \u201cDom\u201d Pascal. While Dom\u2019s arrival was a bit rocky for 51, the evolution of the character really won the hearts of fans and show characters alike. <\/p>\n

\n\tI can confirm Mulroney\u2019s final episode was tonight\u2019s premiere, however, the creators and writers of the show do like to surprise us now and then with appearances every now and again. Like Eamonn Walker, who portrayed Wallace Boden across the show\u2019s first 12 seasons, made a guest appearance in Season 13.<\/p>\n

\n\tTeran spoke to Deadline recently about the new season, and saying goodbye to Mulroney.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe only have the one episode with him I\u2019m sad to report. It\u2019s just the premiere. But he plays a very critical role. We had a very hard task when when Boden left. Filling his shoes was going to be an impossible task. Dermot came in and did this incredible job, and provided a bridge to what the future is going to be,\u201d Teran shared.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe continued, \u201cFor the first time in 15 seasons, there\u2019s not going to be a Chief in the house. Severide [Taylor Kinney] is really going to be leading things, and that\u2019s a new thing. We\u2019ve been thinking about that for a while, and so we needed to close out Dermot to to give space for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the premiere of Season 15, it was also confirmed that Severide had chosen the job of Chief of Firehouse 51 over the inspector job that was also offered. However, he continues to wear his fire inspector hat, albeit privately, while trying to help Joe (Joe Minoso) prove his innocence following accusations he played a role in the Season 14 finale fire. In Dom\u2019s last moments on the show, he gives Severide advice about treading lightly between his two passions or risk facing major consequences. <\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing the news that Mulroney would be leaving Chicago Fire, he shared a statement.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLoved every minute of it. Became friends with this incredible crew of people,\u201d Mulroney said at a fan convention. <\/p>\n

\n\tMulroney also acknowledged the \u201cincredible cast\u201d he worked with and noted that they gave him \u201cincredibly challenging scenes\u201d throughout his time on the show.<\/p>\n

\n\tFurther, the actor said \u201cthey write the character off,\u201d adding, \u201cWe gave it our all for two seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMulroney was also a series regular on the Netflix drama series The Hunting Wives, playing Jed Banks. Mulroney revealed in May that production had concluded <\/a>on the show\u2019s second season, and yesterday, The Hunting Wives was renewed for a third season yesterday ahead of the Season 2 premiere<\/a>. He also recently booked roles in two films: Moon People<\/a> and the action pic Streets<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The following reveals major plot points from tonight\u2019s Chicago Fire Season 15 premiere.
