In an interview with THR, Chicago Fire showrunner Matt Olmstead pours cold water on, without completely extinguishing, rumors of fourth show in the franchise:
“I have no idea. And I’m not being coy. There haven’t been any conversations about that. There’s been no effort towards a fourth show. Not to say that there wouldn’t or couldn’t be. I’m looking right now at a framed photo of all three Chicago shows and all three casts and its humbling to see what’s happened and all the people that it employs in Chicago and just the cast members and how they transfer from show to show and creatively how rewarding it is for me and for everybody involved. To think of one more right now, we’ve got our hands full.”
Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. have already been renewed for the 2016-17 season, with Chicago Med expected to follow suit.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the status of NBC’s Chicago franchise…
