“9-1-1 Season 8: What’s Next for Buck and Eddie? Ryan Guzman Shares Exclusive Insights”

The emotional heartbeat of 9-1-1 may be heading into uncharted territory. In a recent exclusive, Ryan Guzman — who plays the beloved Eddie Diaz — opened up about what fans can expect for the upcoming Season 8, especially when it comes to the fan-favorite duo: Buck and Eddie.

While the pair has long been the emotional core of the 118 team, Season 8 promises to challenge that connection like never before. Guzman teased that “this season, you’ll see Buck and Eddie pushed in different directions — personally and professionally.” That line alone has fans speculating whether their infamous bromance might be headed for a breakdown… or possibly a deeper bond than ever before.

Season 7 left off with the entire team recovering from emotional and physical trauma. Buck’s journey into fatherhood, combined with Eddie’s ongoing battle with grief and identity, means both characters are entering the new season more vulnerable than ever.

But Guzman promises hope. “There’s growth. There’s change. And there’s definitely a few scenes that are going to hit you in the gut,” he says. “The writers aren’t holding back.”

With the 9-1-1 fandom always deeply invested in “Buddie,” the chemistry between Buck and Eddie has inspired everything from intense online debates to viral fan edits. Whether or not the show finally addresses that tension head-on remains to be seen — but one thing’s for sure: fans are in for an unforgettable ride.

Season 8 is expected to premiere later this year on ABC, and if Guzman’s comments are any indication, 9-1-1 is gearing up to break hearts and rebuild bonds in ways we’ve never seen before.
