9-1-1 Promotes Two Series Regulars for Season 9 — Here's Everything We Know About the ABC Drama's Return
9-1-1 doesn't officially return for Season 9 until October, but things are already heating up for the 118. 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 Casting News: Will Trent Ups Kevin Daniels to Regular, Strangers With Candy Reunion and More Rena Sofer Is Leaving Los Angeles - But Is Lois Cerullo Also Leaving General Hospital? Casting News: 9-1-1: Nashville Books Kane Brown, Patrick Dempsey's Fox Drama Adds 2 and More 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. (In fact, that's not all!) 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. 9-1-1 Promotes Corinne Massiah and Elijah M. Cooper to Series Regulars ABC announced via social media on Aug. 13 that Corinne Massiah (aka May Grant) and Elijah M. Cooper (Harry Grant) have been promoted to series regulars for Season 9. Massiah was previously a series regular for Seasons 2 through 6, while this promotion marks Cooper's first time in the position. Marcanthonee Jon Reis, the actor who portrayed Harry before Cooper took over, was also a series regular for Seasons 2 through 6. When Does 9-1-1 Season 9 Premiere? The Season 9 premiere of 9-1-1 will air Thursday, Oct. 9 at 8/7c on ABC. It will be followed by the series premiere of 9-1-1: Nashville at 9 pm, then the Season 22 premiere of Grey's Anatomy at 10 pm. (The premiere was originally set for Oct. 16, but ABC bumped it up a week.) Where Will 9-1-1 Season 9 Film? 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. Production on the show's ninth season officially began in late July. Season 9 Will Introduce the 118's New Captain 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. Athena Is Moving Out… and On? 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. Is Chimney Going Blonde in Season 9? Sadly, no. While some of the actors' hiatus looks have made their way onto the screen (remember when Eddie got that sick mustache, courtesy of Ryan Guzman?), Kenneth Choi's blonde hair won't be one of them. He posted an Instagram video on July 23, revealing that he's reverted back to classic Chimney mode.
