Lights, sirens, action! NBC’s hit drama “Chicago Fire” is officially in production for its 2025 season, and casting directors are now hiring paid background actors in the Chicago area.

Created by Emmy Award-winning executive producer Dick Wolf (the mastermind behind the Law & Order franchise), Chicago Fire follows the brave firefighters, paramedics, and rescue teams of the fictional Firehouse 51. The long-running series also sparked successful spin-offs including Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med.

If you’re local to Chicago or nearby Illinois border states, this could be your opportunity to work on one of television’s most popular dramas.
