Chicago Fire Mega Buzz: Severide’s Life Is About to Get Even More Complicated

Severide’s (Taylor Kinney) past will soon come back to haunt him again on Chicago Fire, but this time, it has nothing to do with his complicated romantic entanglements. With Severide’s mom Jennifer Sheridan (Kim Delaney) already headed to town, we now know that his father Benny (Treat Williams) will also drop by for another one of his frustrating visits, and according to showrunner Derek Haas, that anticipated family reunion won’t exactly be a happy one.

“You’ll see Mama Severide and Papa Severide, who did not have the best relationship, coming together in ways that will torment their son,” showrunner Derek Haas tells TV Guide.

Given that Jennifer suffered a small breakdown after Benny cheated on her — forcing Severide to live with Chicago Med’s April Sexton (Yaya DaCosta) for a short period — you can expect major fireworks when Mama and Papa Severide end up in the same room together. However, they won’t be the only ones drudging up drama for poor Severide.

The firefighter’s former mentor Chief Grissom (Gary Cole) will continue to try and use Severide to fuel his own selfish ambitions. “Part of what happens as he’s trying to groom Severide is he thinks, ‘Oh well maybe there’s still some gas left in my own tank and maybe I can start affecting things a little bit more since Severide’s not listening to me,’” Haas explains.

And since Grissom is an old friend of Benny, there’s no telling how he’ll use that relationship to manipulate our beloved hero. Brace yourselves, Severide’s in for a world of torment.

Chicago Fire returns Thursday, Jan. 4 at 10/9c on NBC.

Treat Joins “Odyssey”

Treat Joins “Odyssey”

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Treat has joined the cast of the NBC show ODYSSEY. The show is being filmed in Boston, which is advantageous for Treat since he lives in nearby Vermont. Not sure what this means in terms of his returning to both CHICAGO FIRE and WHITE COLLAR but we know he’ll be amazing in it.

Treat Williams to Co-Star in NBC Drama ‘Odyssey’

Treat Williams is staying put at NBC.

The Everwood alum, who has been recurring on Chicago Fire, has joined the cast of the network’s drama pilot Odyssey, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Odyssey centers on three families who are torn apart when a stranded female soldier (Pushing Daisies’ Anna Friel), a disillusioned corporate attorney (Nurse Jackie’s Peter Facinelli) and a disrespected political activist (The Carrie Diaries’ Jake Robinson) are pulled into the same shocking international military conspiracy.

Williams will play Col. Glen, a significant member of the cover-up of the assassination of the 24th Special Ops unit. His character is an expert at being simultaneously upbeat and duplicitous.

Williams, who is repped by APA and The Lasher Group, is a three-time Golden Globe nominee who picked up an Emmy mention for 1996’s The Late Shift. He will next be seen in Reaching for the Moon with Miranda Otto and Barefoot alongside Evan Rachel Wood and Scott Speedman. His credits include 127 Hours, Deadfall and critical favorite Everwood.

The Following’s Adam Armus and Kay Foster will pen the script and executive produce Odyssey alongside Peter Horton, who will direct the pilot and pen episodes should the project move forward. Nate Mooney, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Daniella Pineda and Elena Kampouris co-star.
