One Chicago fans, it’s time to get excited about Chicago Fire season 11. It’s hard to believe this beloved Dick Wolf series is in its eleventh season and yet season after season the show continues to deliver thrilling new stories with huge implications for the cast, especially after everything that happened in season 10.
The series received a three-year renewal in 2020, which means season 11 is the final year of that deal. Given the success of all three Chicago series at NBC, Chicago Fire is likely to receive another extension at some point during the upcoming season.
With all of the previous seasons available to stream on Peacock, now is a great time to catch up on the show before it premieres this fall.
Here’s everything we know about Chicago Fire season 11.

What is Chicago Fire season 11 about?
There aren’t a lot of details available about the new season at this point. We fully expect to learn more as we approach September and we’ll be sure to add any new details as we get them.
For now, we know that season 10 ended with a wedding for Severide and Kidd and after they went to honeymoon at a cabin, a truck pulled up outside. We don’t know who is in the truck but they could be tied to Severide’s decision to testify against the drug dealers he encountered earlier in the season.
