9-1-1 Season 9: Everything We Know About the ABC Drama's Fall Return
Even if math isn't your strong suit, you should know that 9-1-1 fans minus the 118 equals one very long summer. Season 8 marked a major turning point for the ABC procedural, with the death of Captain Bobby Nash (played by Peter Krause) thrusting the firehouse into uncharted, uncertain territory. With the pain of his loss still fresh, along with the myriad changes that follow such an unexpected event, fans are eager to see how the 118 will navigate this strange new world in Season 9. More from TVLine Eva LaRue Leaving General Hospital The Bachelor (Finally) Renewed at ABC, Gets New Showrunner Wimbledon 2025: How to Watch the Tennis Matches Live Online Aside from Krause, however, the show's entire roster of series regulars is expected back for Season 9, including Angela Bassett as Athena Grant, Oliver Stark as Evan 'Buck' Buckley, Aisha Hinds as Hen Wilson, Kenneth Choi as Chimney Han, Jennifer Love Hewitt as Maddie Han, Ryan Guzman as Eddie Diaz and Gavin McHugh as Christopher Diaz. So, what new drama awaits those familiar faces? Read on for a complete breakdown of everything we know about 9-1-1 Season 9 so far, then drop a comment with your own hopes for the 118's return this fall. 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.

‘Virgin' Review: Lorde's Resonant Personal Pop
Perhaps you know the feeling of skepticism bordering on trepidation when a pop star's new album is framed as highly personal. In the celebrity-obsessed social-media era, there might be an implicit expectation that listeners will know nearly all the details of the artist's life, and forming a connection to the music depends on this knowledge. While super-fans parse lyrics in search of who a given song is about or what public incident it's based on, a more casual observer struggles to find a way in. Just how much familiarity with the backstory is necessary to take in what the music has to offer? In April, singer Ella Yelich-O'Connor, who performs as Lorde, announced her fourth album with a note indicating that it would be an intimate expression of who she is now, and that the process of making it was driven by 'trying to see myself, all the way through.' The New Zealander has been famous since 2013 when her single 'Royals' topped the Billboard Hot 100. She was just 16 years old then, which means that her entire adult life has been lived in the public eye, and she inspires intense parasocial devotion. The challenge for such an artist is to give the rabid fans the insider details they crave while tapping into broader truths for the listening public. The LP she teased this spring, 'Virgin' (Republic), out now, walks this narrow line.

Watch The Rock Finally Hug Jelly Roll 8 Years After Singer's Music Helped Him Through a Dark Time
After nearly a decade of friendship built on the power of music, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Jelly Roll finally got to meet in person. In a sweet video posted by the two stars late Monday (June 30) on Instagram, the movie star wraps the musician in a huge hug backstage on the set of American Idol, on which Jelly served as the show's first-ever artist in residence in the recently wrapped season 23. 'I've been waiting a decade for this hug, baby!' the singer says, emerging from his trailer. More from Billboard Musicians Who Have Opened Up About Their Mental Health Struggles Gavin Adcock Blasts Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' During Concert Rant: 'That Sh- Ain't Country Music' Lorde Reveals Which 'Virgin' Song 'Kicked My A-' to Write & Seemingly Teases Deluxe Tracks The two men then dive into an emotional conversation, with Johnson explaining how he struggled while living as a teenager in Nashville after his family was evicted from their home in Hawaii. Years later, the actor went through another difficult time in 2017, but was able to power through after discovering Jelly's music. 'I was struggling,' Johnson wrote in his caption. 'My mental wellness turned into my mental hellness … Then a song came on through my headphones one morning on a random shuffle playlist. 'Only' from Jelly Roll. The lyrics rocked me. Hard core.' Johnson then reached out to Jelly, spawning a yearslong friendship based on messaging back and forth. As the musician says in the clip, the former pro wrestler beat Jelly's own mom to congratulating him after he won his first award. Finally getting to meet in person, Johnson gifted Jelly with a special present: a postcard showing where the actor used to live in Nashville. If anyone understands what it's like to struggle while coming up in Music City, it's Jelly; the Tennessee-born artist has been open about spending time in and out of jail before starting his music career. 'This is crazy … this is real old-school Nashville history,' a shocked Jelly says at the end of the video, holding up the postcard to show what Johnson wrote: 'Keep doin' it brother. Proud of you!' Johnson has previously shared how Jelly's music helped him through a dark period. On The Kelly Clarkson Show last November, the superstar said, 'That was one of my bouts with depression … I was trying to balance a lot, we were pregnant with our second baby … my older daughter, she was long distance, I was trying to film a movie. There was a lot going on.' 'We got in contact with each other and I told him what it meant to me,' Johnson continued at the time. 'We didn't know each other, but became really good friends. That's my boy, and I love that guy.' The video comes as Jelly is currently on tour, balancing solo dates with joint stadium shows with Post Malone. Jelly's latest album, Beautifully Broken, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200. And in addition to their shared Nashville history, Jelly and Johnson have something else in common. Both are Billboard chart-reaching artists, with The Rock landing on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2016 with Moana's 'You're Welcome.' Watch The Rock and Jelly Roll finally meet face to face below.
