NBC’s “Chicago Fire” is in production of the new 2025 season
The show’s casting directors are now booking talent to work as paid background actors on “Chicago Fire“.
“Chicago Fire” is produced by Emmy Award-winning executive producer Dick Wolf, the same man that is behind the very popular “Law and Order” franchise. “Chicago Fire” is now filming the new season in …. you guessed it, the Chicago area. The show follows the lives of the men and women who work at the fictional firehouse 51. The high octane drama gives viewers a glimpse into the lives of firefighters, paramedics and rescue workers who put their lives on the line on a daily basis. The successful show launched a spin-off called “Chicago P.D.“ many years back followed by another spin-off “Chicago Med.”
This does film in the Chicago area – Please only apply if you are local to Chicago and have full availability for the work dates listed.

I’m 56 years young grandma and I would LOVE to add this to my bucket list? My daughter thinks I’m dramatic (coming from a 20 year old) so this might be right up my alley?
Follow the directions above & email them.
I’m 65 year old substitute teacher at the juvenile detention center I can be seen in the movie “SHOT IN THE DARK ” FOX SPORTS TV Producer Dwayne Wade and Chance “The Rapper” as the basketball trainer of the Orr HS Boys BB Team located in the Garfield Park area. In 2017 Lifetime “Bringing Up Ballers” as a basketball trainer as well. I’m athletic and capable of acting as well.
I have no acting experience but wouldn’t it be a good story to tell about an actor that auditioned with no credibility and nails our scenes? I look forward to working with you.
I love Chicago fire and am an actress / model. I appeared as an extra on Chicago PD, the TV show. My mom and I watch Chicago Fire all the time. I’d love to be on Chicago fire, it’s exciting.
Live in the city so it’s not a problem being on time to the set.

Hi my name is Joshua, I’m born and raised in Bridgeport, off 31st & Halsted. Heavily tattooed sleeves on both arms. South side Irish and can be there any time to fill in!
I think I have submitted my info a number of times. I still have not heard back. Please
contact me. I’m older and available, 6’4″, white, and fit.
Please let me hear from you Chicago Med,Fire, and PD.
All anyone can do is just send in the info. Casting directors for large shows will only contact people that they would like to cast. They may not reply to those that do not fit the immediate criteria so basically, you only hear from them if they need you on set. This is an extras casting call and most extras casting directors get way more applicants than they can use. If you live in the Chicago area, you need to be sure to only apply if you completely fit the needs requested (look, age, height, etc.)
