It’s official — 9-1-1 is back in action! Star Oliver Stark, who plays fan-favorite firefighter Evan “Buck” Buckley, just confirmed that production on Season 8 has officially begun. The actor took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes photo from the set, sending fans into a frenzy of excitement.
“Day 1. Season 8. Let’s do this,” Stark captioned the post, showing off his familiar firefighter uniform and flashing a confident grin. The announcement comes as fans are still reeling from the emotional highs and devastating losses of Season 7 — including the heartbreaking death of Captain Bobby Nash.
Season 8 is expected to be a turning point for the 118, with new leadership dynamics, fresh recruits, and emotional fallout still lingering from last season’s game-changing finale. While details are still under wraps, Oliver Stark’s early tease confirms that filming is underway and the team is gearing up for another explosive chapter.
Fans have already taken to social media to celebrate the news, with one user writing, “I didn’t realize how much I missed Buck until now!” Others are speculating what the first episode might hold and whether Buck will step into a bigger leadership role this season.
With filming now in motion, 9-1-1 Season 8 is expected to premiere later this year on ABC. Get ready — the alarms are ringing once again, and the 118 is back.
