The most recent Tuesday episode of "Chicago Fire" Season 4 leaves another person in the cliffhanger, after Freddie stabbed Herrmann and left him to die; but will Herrmann really die? Fans will have to wait a little longer as "Chicago Fire" takes a short hiatus and sets to return to NBC on Jan. 5.
The fans, however, may expect an upcoming big event when "Chicago Fire" finally returns on Jan.5 as Episode 10 is set to stage a three-show crossover with "Chicago Med" and "Chicago PD."
Although the details to the episode are still under the wraps, Carter Matt, in its report, said that fans can anticipate "at least one catastrophic event" to be the center of Episode 10. Carter Matt added that the crossover will be a two-episode story arc and there will surely be shockers.
On October, showrunner Matt Olmstead said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that the three-show crossover with "Chicago Med" and "Chicago PD" this January will have to do with Hank Voight's (Jason Beghe) life.
"It does bring all three shows together," said Matt Olmstead. "The one personal piece of storytelling it unearths is Voight's backstory with his late wife. We've established that she died years prior to when he appeared on 'Fire,' but not the circumstances of her death and what Voight has to deal with in terms of dealing with that memory."
He added, "Also, it affects [Erin] Lindsay (Sophia Bush) because, as stated in the script, as much as her mom Bunny was unreliable, not there, problematic, Voight's wife was the perfect model for who she wanted to be as a woman. It really hits them both hard and it's a nice window into Voight's relationship with his late wife. That was so meaningful and profound that when she died, we don't establish him dating. He had the little flirtatious crosses with Mariska [Hargitay]'s character on 'SVU,' but that was his one love, true love, only love."
Whether there would be a "jumbo" four-show crossover in February with "Chicago Fire," Chicago PD," "Chicago Med," and "SUV," Olmstead said in the same interview that it might be too ambitious and confirmed that they are dialing it down to just a crossover between "PD" and "SUV."
