NBC's Chicago Fire has named Jake Lockett as a series regular for Season 13, Deadline has confirmed.
Chicago Fire's biggest promotion yet: Jake Lockett becomes a series regular for the exciting 13th season!
Lockett joined the firefighting drama in season 11 in the recurring role of firefighter Sam Carver. Since last season, it's been a hot and steamy affair between Carver and paramedic Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith).
When the new season premieres on September 25 at 8 p.m., the show will also feature the additions of Dermot Mulroney and KaDee Strickland. Mulroney joined the hit firefighting drama as Boden's (Eamonn Walker) successor, Chief Dom Pascal, following Walker's departure as series regular in the Season 12 finale. As Deadline exclusively revealed today, Private Practice alumnus Strickland will play Pascal's estranged wife. We also confirmed that Jocelyn Hudon, who plays paramedic Lyla Novak, was also promoted to series regular in June.
Chicago Fire follows the professional and personal lives of the firefighters, rescue workers and paramedics of Firehouse 51 in the Windy City. Her show also stars Taylor Kinney, David Eigenberg, Miranda Rae Mayo, Christian Stolte and Joe Miñoso.
