Another Thursday, another wave of missing 9-1-1.

Season 8 of ABC’s hit first responder drama was the show’s most emotionally devastating chapter yet, and though fans are furious that they lost their dearly beloved Bobby Nash (Peter Krause), they’re still curious to see where 9-1-1 goes from here. Can the 118, and crucially, the show as a whole, survive without its patriarch? Will 9-1-1 find a way to bring Bobby back? Only time will tell…

If you’re counting down the days until you reunite with Athena (Angela Bassett), Buck (Oliver Stark), Eddie (Ryan Guzman), Hen (Aisha Hinds), Ravi (Anirudh Pisharody), Chimney (Kenneth Choi), Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt), and the rest of the 9-1-1 fam, you’re not alone.

Curious if ABC renewed 9-1-1 for a Season 9? Wondering is 9-1-1 is on tonight, June 26? And if not, when does 9-1-1 return with new Season 9 episodes on ABC? You’re not alone!

Here’s everything to know about the future of 9-1-1, including 9-1-1‘s Season 9 premiere date info, how to watch 9-1-1 live and online, and more.

Is 9-1-1 On Tonight (6/26/25)?

If you turn on ABC tonight, Thursday, June 26, 2025, hoping to watch a new episode of 9-1-1, you’re unfortunately out of luck. In place of 9-1-1 Season 8 reruns, ABC will be airing CMA Fest at 8:00 p.m. ET. The special event, hosted by by Cody Johnson and Ashley McBryde, will feature “performances by some of country music’s hottest artists during the four-day music festival in Nashville.” So if you want to get hyped for 9-1-1: Nashville, consider giving it a watch.

You bet! On April 3, 2025, Deadline reported that ABC gave 9-1-1 an early Season 9 renewal. On April 29, 2025, following an especially emotional Season 8 episode, ABC reported that after seven days of viewing, 9-1-1 scored 8.45 million total viewers, reaching a five-month multi-platform high in the Adults 18-49 demographic. And on Season 8 finale day, Deadline reported that Bobby’s funeral episode, “The Last Alarm,” drew “9.18 million total viewers and a 1.75 rating among Adults 18-49 in Live+7 multi-platform viewing,” which marked a six-month record high. Overall, the series ranked fourth on ABC for the 2024/2025 broadcast season, which means it’s ripe for renewing!

When Does 9-1-1 Return With New Episodes On ABC? 9-1-1 Season 9 Premiere Date:

So when will 9-1-1 return with new episodes? An official 9-1-1 Season 9 premiere date has yet to be revealed, but ABC confirmed the series will return in fall 2025 and continue to air on Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET, followed by episodes of Ryan Murphy’s new spinoff, 9-1-1: Nashville. Decider will be sure to update fans as new 9-1-1 Season 9 (and 9-1-1: Nashville) updates and premiere date info are revealed. Until then, here’s what else you need to know.

9-1-1 Season 8 Ending Explained: What Will 9-1-1 Season 9 Look Like?

If you’re looking for a full 9-1-1 Season 8 finale rundown, Decider’s got you covered. Despite fan pleas for Minear to rewrite Bobby’s death and bring Peter Krause back to the show, the 118 captain appeared to be gone for good at the end of the eighth season. (Be sure to read Part 1 of our Season 8 post-mortem interview with Anirudh Pisharody for more on Bobby’s death.)

A finale montage showed Athena putting her and Bobby’s dream home on the market, Eddie and Chris moving back home, and Buck searching for a new apartment. Hen and Karen finally adopted Mara. And everyone gathered at the hospital to welcome Maddie and Chimney’s baby boy, Robert Nash Han. The season ended with Athena cradling the baby, saying, “Hello, Bobby,” so Season 9 will likely continue to show characters healing from their massive loss, moving forward with new relationships, milestones, personal and professional challenges, and of course EMERGENCIES!

In an interview with UsWeekly, Ryan Guzman said, “You can’t just have the characters be all happy. That’s not gonna be a good show. So we gotta figure something out with Eddie. But I think the next relationship should be something life-changing that it just throws him off for a loop… He’s ready for the next thing to happen. So whenever that does happen, yeah. I think it should happen next season or so.” 9-1-1‘s Oliver Stark also looked ahead and shared Season 9 relationship hopes for his character Buck, telling Swoon, “I want Buck to make his romantic decisions from a much more well-considered place, not because he’s feeling upset about something else or whatever it is. I want him to be in control of the decisions he makes more than anything.”

In an interview with Decider, Pisharody also shared what he hopes to see for his character in Season 9, including a deeper dive into Ravi’s backstory and personal life outside the firehouse. (Read our full interview with the 9-1-1 star to learn what else is on his Season 9 wishlist.)
