Previously scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 16, the Season 9 premiere of 9-1-1, the series premiere of 9-1-1: Nashville and the Season 22 premiere of Grey’s Anatomy will now debut on Thursday, Oct. 9, beginning at 8/7c, TVLine has learned.
The move gives ABC’s Thursday-night slate a jump on well-watched CBS time slot rivals Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, Ghosts, Matlock and Elsbeth, all of which return Oct. 16.
NBC’s Law & Order trifecta, and Fox’s Hell’s Kitchen and Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, meanwhile, all return Sept. 25.
9-1-1‘s ninth season finds the 118 in a state of flux, following the tragic death of Captain Bobby Nash (Peter Krause). Will Chimney (Kenneth Choi) step up as the team’s new leader, as the finale suggested, or is there yet another surprise on the horizon for this crew?
