Chicago Fire Showrunner Change: Newman Out, Teran In for Season 15
Andrea Newman exits as Chicago Fire showrunner after season 14; Victor Teran takes over for season 15 as Joe Mińoso and Dermot Mulroney also depart.
Chicago Fire is undergoing a major behind-the-scenes change. Andrea Newman is stepping down as showrunner after season 14, and Victor Teran will take over the role for season 15, according to Screen Rant.
Newman's history with the NBC drama dates back to its 2012 premiere, when she was credited as a co-executive producer. She became co-showrunner alongside creator Derek Haas in season 11, then served as sole showrunner from season 12 through season 14.
Teran is a familiar name to the series, having joined as a writer in season 10 before being promoted to producer in season 13. His elevation to showrunner marks a steady rise within the Wolf Entertainment production.
The showrunner shift comes as two cast members prepare to exit. Joe Mińoso is leaving his role as Joe Cruz after a few episodes of season 15, and Dermot Mulroney is departing as Chief Dom Pascal.
Despite the changes, Chicago Fire remains a key part of NBC's lineup. The series will reach its 300th episode in fall 2026, and the One Chicago dramas return to NBC's fall 2026 schedule in October.
