Chicago Fire boss: Season 8 premiere tragedy will have ripple effects throughout the season
-
"You put everyone in jeopardy and then you miraculously get out of it," says showrunner Derek Haas. "We're as guilty of it as anyone, but you can only pull the rug out from under the audience so many times before they just don't trust the suspense anymore; they don't trust the danger. I think our show has on occasion proved them wrong, where there is a real effect to a tragic, dangerous situation, and we just felt like it was time to do it again."
