Chicago Fire fans have been speculating that Kelly Severide, portrayed by Taylor Kinney, may lead a new spinoff series that focuses on the Office of Fire Investigation (OFI). However, this theory doesn't seem likely to happen. Severide's absence from the popular show has been explained by his attendance at an arson investigation training program, an opportunity that fans argue contradicts the previous actions of his character. The franchise had previously attempted a spinoff with Chicago Justice, but the show was canceled after one season. Taking away a main character from a flagship show for a spinoff might be too big of a gamble for the franchise. Additionally, Severide's departure from the show could hurt the brand of the character and undo the more than a decade spent developing his persona on Fire. There are no serious talks about a Severide spinoff, and it may be for the best.
