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.

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.

‘9-1-1-'s Oliver Stark & Ryan Guzman On Giving In To Viewer Hopes & Making 'Buddie' Canon: 'I Hope, If It Goes There, It's Done Because That's The Right Story To Tell'
Oliver Stark and Ryan Guzman were at the Disney Upfront representing 9-1-1, which is returning to ABC for Season 9 in the fall. Stark plays Buck, and Guzman plays Eddie in the procedural drama. The actors are the center of fan theories, which hope the characters will eventually become romantic. Although writers have insisted that the characters are only friends, that hasn't stopped viewers from shipping 'Buddie' and hoping they become canon. More from Deadline Disney Upfront 2025 Photos With Stars Of '9-1-1,' 'All's Fair,' 'Project Runway,' 'Only Murders In The Building,' 'The Bear,' 'The View' & More Ryan Guzman Fuels Fan Speculation Of '9-1-1' Future: 'Eddie Diaz, Signing Out' Disney Cruises Top Charts As Fleet Grows, Says Experiences Chief Josh D'Amaro - "Phenomenal" Returns, "Best Ambassador You Can Think Of" 'What I will say is that if the story ever goes in that direction, I don't think the way to do it is purely to give in to fans,' Stark told Deadline. 'I hope, if it goes there, it's done because that's the right story to tell and that's the right progression for the characters.' Stark doesn't 'want to do it purely as fan service,' although he believed that fans 'would feel served' if 'Buddie' ever becomes a reality on the ABC drama. 'So I hope it's not a case of giving in as much as that's the natural progression for the story,' Stark added. RELATED: Stark's Buck identifies as bisexual and was involved in a gay relationship with Lou Ferrigno Jr.'s Tommy, while Guzman's Eddie identifies as heterosexual, for now. Die-hard fans say that if Buck and Eddie were heterosexual, of the opposite sex, writers would have already explored a romantic relationship. Guzman also weighed in on whether writers should give in to viewer hopes for their characters, saying, 'I think we have something so genuine with what we've already established. And I think Oliver's character has said it multiple times. It's like, why can't we just be friends, brothers. I think right now it stands as it is.' RELATED: 'I completely understand where fans are gaining that from, and they've created their own lore,' Guzman added. 'I see so many different things. I see renditions of the show where it's all of us like friends, characters, and stuff. I love it. They're so adamant on their version of 9-1-1.' Watch Stark and Guzman's interview in the video below.
