Chicago Fire will say goodbye to Kara Killmer in the NBC show’s twelfth season, Deadline has confirmed. It is not yet known how many episodes her character Sylvie Brett will appear in.

Killmer joined the popular procedural in its third season with Sylvie serving as the central character throughout. Jesse Spencer, who played her love interest Matt Casey, stepped down from the show in 2021 but returned for a guest appearance.

In the Season 11 finale, Matt proposed to Sylvie and at the time we figured that meant Spencer could return to the show. Instead, it looks like the relationship may end in marriage as the pair go off to watch the sunset together. This idea is definitely trending as this is how Brian Tee and Yaya Dacosta left Chicago Med as well as Nick Gehlfuss and Torrey DeVitto in the same series.
What could that mean for Chicago P.D. Is everyone about to lose Tracy Spiridakos? It is not yet known whether Jesse Lee Soffer will play any role in the departure of Hailey Upton Halstead’s character.

At least fans still have Taylor Kinney’s return on Chicago Fire to look forward to.

Variety was the first to report Killmer’s departure.
