Chicago Fire will say goodbye to Kara Killmer during the NBC show’s twelfth season, Deadline
has confirmed. It is as yet unknown how many episodes her character Sylvie Brett will appear in.
Killmer joined the popular procedural during its third season with Sylvie serving as a central
character throughout. Jesse Spencer, who played her love interest Matt Casey, departed from the show in 2021 but has returned as a guest star. In the Season 11 finale, Matt proposed to Sylvie and at the time we guessed it could mean Spencer could return to the show. Instead, it appears the relationship could end in marriage with the pair riding off into the sunset together.
The idea is certainly on trend as this was how Brian Tee and Yaya Dacosta departed Chicago Med as well as Nick Gehlfuss and Torrey DeVitto on the same series. At least fans still have the return of Taylor Kinney on Chicago Fire to look forward to. Variety was first to announce Killmer’s departure.
