Matthew Daddario is heading to Firehouse 51!
The Shadowhunters star has joined the cast of Chicago Fire for the NBC drama’s upcoming 15th season.
Matthew will play a new firefighter candidate, although additional information about his character is being kept under wraps.
Deadline confirmed his casting on Friday (August 21) after he appeared in a behind-the-scenes Instagram photo shared by fellow show newcomer Da’Vinchi. The two actors posed alongside returning cast member Brandon Larracuente, who plays firefighter Sal Vasquez.
Matthew is best known for playing Alec Lightwood on Freeform’s Shadowhunters. His recent projects also include Hallmark’s Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story.
Chicago Fire is welcoming several new faces
Matthew is not the only new actor joining Firehouse 51 this season. Da’Vinchi has been cast as series regular Marcus Burke, another firefighter candidate who has been described “roguish” and “a little defiant.”
The newcomers arrive as the series prepares to say goodbye to longtime cast member Joe Minoso and more recent addition Dermot Mulroney. Both actors are expected to appear early in season 15 before completing their respective storylines.
There is also a change happening behind the scenes, with Victor Teran taking over as showrunner following Andrea Newman‘s departure.
Chicago Fire season 15 premieres on Wednesday, October 7 on NBC, with episodes also available next-day on Peacock.
