Daniel Kyri Returns to Chicago Fire For Limited Time in Season 14
Actor Daniel Kyri, known for his role as Darren Ritter in 'Chicago Fire,' is coming back for a short while in the show's 14th season, even though he was supposed to leave after Season 13.
He posted a photo with other cast members, hinting at his return.
This is happening as the show is trying to save money, which involves some actors being asked to live in Illinois and possibly getting smaller raises.
Despite these changes, the show has been renewed for another season, showing it's still popular with viewers.
Daniel Kyri will return to 'Chicago Fire' for a limited time in Season 14 after exiting the series in Season 13.
Kyri's return was revealed via an Instagram Story post with co-stars Jocelyn Hudon and Hanako Greensmith.
Kyri, who played Darren Ritter, is returning alongside other cast members including David Eigenberg and Christian Stolte.
The actor's departure and possible return are part of budget adjustments that include cast asking to take on Illinois residency.
NBC renewed the 'Chicago' series with potential for shorter seasons.
