As fans eagerly anticipate the return of 9-1-1 on ABC, series star Oliver Stark—best known for his role as firefighter Evan “Buck” Buckley—has given a much-needed update on Season 9’s progress.
Taking to Instagram, Stark shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of filming, confirming that production is officially underway. With a simple caption reading “Back at it,” he posted a photo in full turnout gear, signaling that Buck is ready for more emotional rescues, heart-pounding emergencies, and complicated personal drama.
Season 9 is expected to pick up in the wake of Captain Bobby Nash’s shocking death, a moment that rocked both the 118 and viewers at home. Stark has previously teased that the new season will explore deeper emotional layers, especially as Buck continues to grieve the loss of his mentor and potentially steps up into a leadership role.
Fans were quick to flood the comments with excitement, noting how thrilled they were to see the crew back on set. One fan wrote, “We’ve missed you, Buck! Let’s gooo Season 9!”
While ABC has yet to announce a specific premiere date, the confirmed filming update has revived hope that Season 9 will debut this fall—likely sticking to its traditional September slot.
For now, all signs point to another thrilling season packed with emotional punches, high-stakes calls, and new beginnings.
