“Chicago Fire” showrunner Andrea Newman is departing the show, Variety has confirmed.

With Newman’s exit, series co-executive producer Victor Teran has been promoted to executive producer and showrunner for the NBC drama’s upcoming 15th season.

“Working at ‘Chicago Fire,’ with the absolute best cast and crew in the business, has been the highlight of my career,” Newman said. “Like so many others, I was inspired to get into TV writing because of Dick, so what a thrill it’s been to work with him and the amazing Wolf team of Peter Jankowski, Rebecca McGill and Anastasia Puglisi. I’m so grateful to them, Derek Haas and the NBC and Universal execs who have been so supportive of the show all along the way. After 14 years, you really do become a family and working with this group will always feel like home.”
