Who replaced Foster on Chicago Fire?
Foster is being replaced by a character named Gianna Mackey, played by actress Adriyan Rae (you may have seen her as the star of the SyFy series Vagrant Queen, which lasted just one season).
Gianna will be introduced in the first episode of season 9. As of now, it’s not known if Foster will appear in the season premiere to get an on-screen farewell.
Other Chicago Fire changes
Aside from the departure of Annie Ilonzeh, the show has been fairly stable between seasons; it’s the least changed of the three One Chicago series.
Dick Wolf has confirmed that COVID-19 will be part of the show’s universe. One way that’s going to happen is that you’ll see fewer civilians in the Firehouse 51 bullpen, but keep an eye out for how that will affect plots in other ways, especially in the huge rescue scenes which normally attract a large crowd.
