9-1-1 is up against Black Doves, The Day of the Jackal, The Gentlemen, Reacher and Shōgun for the Best Action Series, Limited Series or Made For TV Movie category, while Angela is up for Best Actress alongside Viola Davis, Keira Knightley, Lashana Lynch and Zoe Saldana.

The final episodes of season eight saw Captain Bobby Nash (Peter Krause) die after he revealed he had been exposed to CCHF (Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever) — a risk level 4 pathogen.

"You're going to be ok, kid," Bobby told his colleague and pseudo son Buck as he realized the situation they were in. "They're going to need you."
