Chicago Fire has a pretty big cast, and we see cast members come and go often, but Kara Killmer’s departure had hit harder, given her

decade-long run as paramedic Sylvie Brett. Killmer exited the series halfway through its twelfth season, and although she wasn’t given a tragic exit, it was still hard to see her go.

 

 

Jimmy will cover Stewart’s life in the 1940s, including his military service in WWII and his postwar Hollywood comeback with It’s a Wonderful Life. The cameras have officially started rolling on the biopic in West Cork, Ireland. It’s being directed by Aaron Burns from a script written by Justin Strawhand. Both are also signed on as producers. In addition, Stewart’s daughter, Kelly Stewart-Harcourt, is also on board as an executive producer.

Riverdale‘s KJ Apa stars in the leading role as Stewart. Other actors include Christopher McDonald as Lionel Barrymore, Neal McDonough as Stewart’s father, Rob Riggle as U.S. Army Colonel Terrill, and Jemma Donovan as Ginger Rogers. There’s also Jason Alexander, Max Casella, Sarah Drew, Julian Works, and Jen Lilley in the cast.

 

 

Unfortunately, this is all that’s been revealed about Jimmy so far. With production now underway, an official release date should be announced sometime in the future. As reported by People, a theatrical release in November 2026 is currently being eyed. However, nothing has been locked down just yet.

If you want to go back and rewatch Killmer in Chicago Fire, you can do so on Peacock. She appears in seasons 3 to 12. Chicago Fire season 14 is set to premiere on NBC on Wednesday, Oct. 1, at 9/8c. Don’t forget to save the date and time!
