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

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.

Watch Taylor Swift's Surprise Acoustic Performance of ‘Shake It Off' at NFL Party
Taylor Swift joined Travis Kelce for the kick-off of Tight End University in Nashville earlier this week and took the opportunity to perform her song 'Shake It Off.' During the opening night's afterparty at Nashville's Brooklyn Bowl, singer delivered a surprise acoustic performance of the 2014 track for NFL players and guests. Kelce co-founded the annual three-day training summit, held at Vanderbilt University, with George Kittle and Greg Olsen in 2021. It was started as an opportunity for tight ends across the league to train, network, and share techniques. The first evening party featured sets from Jordan Davis, Chase Rice, Ernest, Sophia Scott, Niko Moon, and Tucker Beathard before concluding with Kane Brown. Brown yielded his final song to Swift, who borrowed Rice's guitar.

She also asked the crowd, 'How loud could the singing be in here?' as she encouraged them to join her on vocals. She dedicated the song to her 'favorite players.' Ahead of her performance of 'Shake It Off,' Swift joined Kelce as he arrived to the event, marking the couple's first red carpet appearance (although there was no actual carpet). The couple walked into the venue hand in hand and smiled for the cameras, as seen on Tight End University's Instagram page. Swift's performance marked her first time back on the stage since she regained control of her recorded music catalog six years after her old label, Big Machine Label Group, sold it to Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings. The singer announced the purchase in a lengthy letter in late May, writing, 'All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me.' In her letter, Swift said that calling regaining control over her catalog her 'greatest dream come true' was 'actually being pretty reserved about it.' She thanked her fans for all their support, suggesting that the massive success of the Eras Tour and efforts to rerecord her old albums made it possible for her to buy back her music. Kelce celebrated the victory on an episode of his New Heights podcast by jamming out to the original recording of 'I Knew You Were Trouble.' 'Just bought all her music back,' Kelce said. 'It's finally hers.' Best of Rolling Stone Sly and the Family Stone: 20 Essential Songs The 50 Greatest Eminem Songs All 274 of Taylor Swift's Songs, Ranked

Extraordinary True Story Of Erin Patterson & The Deadly Poisonous Mushrooms To Be Told In ABC Australia Drama Series
EXCLUSIVE: The extraordinary true story of Erin Patterson, who stands accused of murdering her guests with poisonous mushrooms, is being turned into a TV drama for Australia's ABC. Toxic will follow the twists and turns of a high-profile murder investigation of intrigue that has generated headlines around the world. Elise McCredie (Jack Irish) and Tony Ayres (The Survivors) are creating the series and Ayres' Universal International Studios-backed indie will produce. Described as an 'intricate series that explores the events and characters of this true-life story without judgement,' the show will involve multiple timelines and numerous perspectives. More from Deadline 'Nine Perfect Strangers' Season 2 Ending Explained: It's All About Connections Joaquin Phoenix Suggests 'Beau Is Afraid' Filmgoers 'Not Take Mushrooms' Quinta Brunson Is "Looking Forward" To Roles Beyond 'Abbott Elementary' Patterson was charged with multiple counts of murder after three of her guests died and a fourth spent months in hospital following a lunch where she served them beef wellington that contained the toxic 'Death Cap' mushroom. Patterson has pleaded not guilty and has always maintained that the incident was a horrible, tragic accident, and the new show announcement comes with the defendant back in the press as the jury in her murder trial deliberates. Earlier this week, the ABC spoke to people who have effectively put their lives on hold in order to spend every day at the months-long trial. The barely believable story has amassed mega press interest due to more than a dollop of intrigue around what appears to have been an intense family feud, and it has felt only a matter of time before the events were re-told via TV drama. Working closely with ABC journalist and podcaster Rachael Brown, Tony Ayres Productions is developing the series for the ABC. Ayres said: 'True stories ask storytellers to probe the complexities of human behaviour. What really lies beneath the headlines? It's both a challenge and a responsibility to go beyond the surface – to reveal, not just sensationalise.' McCredie described the events as a 'tangled, heart-breaking story.' 'Sitting in on the trial, watching evidence unfurl, change direction, and reposition itself has been an exercise in the subjectivity of 'truth' and a blueprint for a dramatic retelling that explores multiple perspectives in an honest and compelling way,' she added. Toxic will be produced by Tony Ayres Productions (The Survivors, Fires, Clickbait, Stateless), which is backed by Matchbox Pictures and Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group. Casting is incoming soon. All eyes turn to who will play Patterson.

In addition to shotgunning hot chicken, you can spend Friday celebrating our nation's independence. Why it matters: The city's free July 4 celebration, called Let Freedom Sing!, is a very Nashville-y mix of world-class musicians, food trucks and an enormous fireworks display.

Grace Bowers and the Hodge Podge, Keesha Rainey, Charlie Worsham and Les Kerr and the Bayou Band are among the notable artists who will perform. If braving throngs of people downtown isn't your thing, many of Nashville's suburban cities also do fireworks shows. WSMV compiled a list of fireworks and other festivities on Friday.
