9-1-1 Season 9: Everything We Know About the ABC Drama’s Fall Return

Though an official premiere date has not yet been announced, we do know that new episodes of Season 9 will air Thursdays at 8/7c on ABC this fall. 9-1-1 will be followed by spinoff 9-1-1: Nashville at 9 pm, then Grey’s Anatomy Season 22 at 10 pm.

Production on the procedural’s ninth season is expected to begin sometime in mid-to-late July, according to Oliver Stark, who said in a June 24 interview that he’s returning to set “in about a month.”

Ryan Guzman had 9-1-1 fans concerned in May when he posted a farewell story to Instagram, fueling speculation that Eddie’s time on the show was coming to an end.

“Well, it officially happened,” Guzman said. “It’s the last day on this lot. Stage 6, I’ll miss ya. Seven years. That’s crazy.”

But this turned out to be much ado about nothing. Guzman was merely saying goodbye to the Fox lot, where 9-1-1 has filmed since it premiered in 2018; the show is relocating to Burbank for Season 9.

Following Bobby’s untimely demise, the 118 is in serious need of new leadership. Hen was the logical first choice, but when she turned down the promotion, the fandom’s collective attention shifted to Chimney, whose inspiring finale speech all but guaranteed him the gig.

If you were hoping to spend more time in the home that Bobby and Athena built, you’re out of luck. Despite initially balking at the idea, Athena ultimately put the house up for sale in the Season 8 finale, leaving curious fans to wonder where she’ll be putting down roots next. And could Athena’s major life changes also apply to her career? Only time will tell.
