As Chicago Fire often does, the drama series ended its ninth season with a major cliffhanger that’s left us biting our nails all summer long.
Every member of squad was in grave danger last we saw them, trapped after going on a dive to rescue someone. It’s not as though we haven’t seen the team from Firehouse 51 in danger before — they’ve beaten the odds plenty of times. But will that be the case this time, too?
Appropriately titled “Mayday,” Chicago Fire Season 10 Episode 1 appears to pick up where we left off. Here’s an early look at the season premiere, which airs September 22nd at 9/8c on NBC.
