While Fire Country‘s midseason return doesn’t take place until the end of this month, CBS was set to air a rerun on Friday (January 10). Instead, a rerun of NCIS: Sydney will replace the firefighter drama.
NCIS: Sydney will now air two reruns at 8 and 9pm ET/PT, followed by a S.W.A.T. rerun at 10pm.
Chicago Fire‘s return is part of the One Chicago night on NBC, sandwiched between Chicago Med and Chicago PD, with the midseason return of all three starting at 8pm ET/PT.
On Fire, according to Deadline, “Cruz’s past comes back to haunt him, Severide prepares to teach an arson class at the academy while Mouch searches for a victim’s next of kin.”
Many events and premieres in Los Angeles, as well as TV show productions, have been canceled or postponed amid the wildfires.
