Social media is ablaze with fans expressing enthusiasm over Taylor Kinney’s grand return to “Chicago Fire.” The barrage of posts and tweets serve as a testament to how much viewers have missed Kelly Severide.
“Definitely makes me happy. Great show that needs all its great actors to make it awesome again in Season 12. Thank you,” wrote one fan. “That’s the BEST news I’ve heard in a LONG time!! Yay!! Thanks, Taylor! Kelly’s comin’ home!!” enthused another. Many fans also took Kinney’s return to mean that the popular StellaRide ship (Stella and Kelly) would be setting sail once again. “Guys, firstly i’m glad he feels well enough to come back. secondly, stellaride are coming home !!!” a fan tweeted.

It might be too soon to make theories as to what would happen in the show’s 12th season, but fans can expect big changes considering the movements happening behind the scenes. There are reportedly new showrunners appointed with executive producer Andrea Newman as the sole lead, and the new installment — which will likely have fewer episodes than usual due to budget constraints — won’t hit the TV screens until 2024. But with Kinney anticipated to make a giant splash, the wait may just be worth it.
