Since 2005, "Grey's Anatomy" has captivated an astoundingly broad and enduring audience that can't be denied. Despite its seemingly restrictive setting and genre, it has something to offer everyone -- those thrilled by the functions of a busy hospital; fans of melodramatic reveals and romances, as well as those invested in mature relationships; and especially those who want hundreds of high-quality episodes to keep them company as they grow into the next season of their life.

And yet, despite how culturally relevant the series has remained for over two decades, it's this unique combination of subgenres and styles that makes "Grey's Anatomy" one of the more difficult shows for us to offer recommendations for. Sure, it would be easy enough to toss out 15 of the most popular medical procedurals out there and call it a day -- but we know we can do better. As such, we've gathered a mix of twisty,...

The biggest mystery of NCIS actually happened behind the scenes, as one of its former stars disappeared from the face of the earth. Zoe McLellan played Special Agent Meredith “Merri” Brody in the first two seasons of the NCIS spinoff, NCIS: New Orleans. She left the show after the second season finale of the show.

According to her ex-husband, Jean-Pierre Guy Gillain, he hadn’t seen or heard from McLellan or their son, Sebastian Gillain, since April 2019. He believed that his ex-wife took away their then-four-year-old son amidst an ugly custody battle. While McLellan filed abuse charges against her ex-husband in early 2020, her whereabouts have remained a mystery since then.

According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, a felony warrant was issued for McLellan for kidnapping on May 14, 2021. Sebastian Gillain’s photo is up on the website, with his mother McLellan cited as the primary suspect. It...

9-1-1 and its upcoming spinoff 9-1-1: Nashville will premiere on ABC sooner than expected. The Alphabet Network has announced earlier premiere dates for the two 9-1-1 series as well as Grey's Anatomy.

Per Deadline, the season premieres of 9-1-1, 9-1-1: Nashville, and Grey's Anatomy have all been moved up a week. After setting a Thursday, Oct. 16 premiere date for the three dramas earlier this month, ABC has now bumped up the shows' premiere date to Thursday, Oct. 9. 9-1-1 will kick off the night at 8 p.m. with its ninth season premiere, followed by the series premiere of new spinoff 9-1-1: Nashville at 9 p.m.Grey's Anatomy, which holds the distinction of the longest-running medical drama on television, will close out the night with its Season 22 premiere at 10 p.m. ABC made no other premiere date changes to its Fall 2025 schedule.

Help is on the way! Today, ABC has announced the return date for its beloved series, 9-1-1. Heading into its ninth season, the title is now slated for a premiere on October 9, which bumps it up several days from its previously announced October 16 arrival. Taking to social media to share the good news, the series dropped a post on X with a caption that reads:

“A new season of #911onABC is coming your way starting Thursday, October 9. Watch on ABC and stream on Hulu.”

Also included was a sound blip of an emergency responder saying, “9-1-1. What’s your emergency? Help is on the way,” while the date “10-9” flashed overtop.

9-1-1 is one of several ABC productions that shifted its return date for fall, with others, including Season 22 of Grey’s Anatomy and newcomer, 9-1-1: Nashville, also receiving earlier go times. Fans know that things...

ABC is moving up the premiere dates of its Thursday primetime dramas by one week. The network announced Tuesday that “9-1-1,” new series “9-1-1: Nashville” and “Grey’s Anatomy” will now premiere Thursday, Oct. 9.

ABC did not reveal a reason behind the schedule change, though premiere date shifts are not uncommon on broadcast television. The change also moves the dramas’ debut closer to the rest of ABC’s lineup, which kicks off its fall premieres on Sept. 16 with the returns of “Dancing With the Stars” and “High Potential.”

It’s unclear how many episodes “9-1-1: Nashville” will have for its inaugural season, though “9-1-1” and “Grey’s Anatomy” have both stuck with 18-episode orders.

“9-1-1” kicks off the Thursday night lineup, returning for Season 9 at 8 p.m.. The new episodes mark the first season without series star Peter Krause, with Captain Bobby Nash killed off in a late Season 8 episode this past spring.

ABC’s new Thursday night lineup will arrive sooner than expected.

Previously scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 16, the Season 9 premiere of 9-1-1, the series premiere of 9-1-1: Nashville and the Season 22 premiere of Grey’s Anatomy will now debut on Thursday, Oct. 9, beginning at 8/7c, TVLine has learned.

The world of 9-1-1 is fundamentally changed going forward. The ABC drama lost one of its own, the first major death of the series. The 118 lost its captain, Bobby Nash (Peter Krause), in Season 8 Episode 15. The series will be back for Season 9, having been renewed the same day as Episode 13, on April 3, 2025. But there will be some changes when it returns this fall, both on the show itself and the schedule. On Tuesday, July 29, ABC announced a change to the Season 9 premiere date. Below, we’ve gathered everything we know about 9-1-1 Season 9, from that date to its cast and much more. When will 9-1-1 Season 9 premiere? 9-1-1 Season 9 will premiere on Thursday, October 9, at 8/7c, on ABC. (That’s a week earlier than originally announced.) It will consist of 18 episodes.

911 fans finally have something to look forward to! Just as the series has gone into production for season 9, we got word on when to expect new episodes. However, it’s going to be a longer wait than normal for the ABC series.

Instead of a regular September air date, the series will return in October, meaning we will have to wait a few more weeks to see our favorite firefighters. However, with the series now back in production, we will likely get some fun teasers as we wait to see what happens next for the 118.

Going into season 9, 911 will see some changes in the cast. Peter Krause, who played Captain Bobby Nash, exited the series at the end of season 8. Bobby died after a lab explosion left him exposed to Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever. It will be strange for fans to watch the show without Bobby after eight seasons.

The much-anticipated ninth season of ABC's hit series 9-1-1 will be with us soon. A set revelation from series star Oliver Stark confirms that the season is now being filmed and will be on screens this fall. The actor took to Instagram to share an exciting update, posting an image of himself and his dog on the set of the show. The adorable photo shows him and the dog shaking hands and paws, both with a sweet expression on their faces. Stark expressed excitement about the development with the caption "Season 9 here we go!

One fan-favorite firefighter is guaranteed to return in 9-1-1season 9. The first-responder drama made waves by killing off Peter Krause’s Bobby Nash at the end of season 8. By far 9-1-1’s most tragic death, Bobby’s departure convinced many viewers that the Lafd Station 118 firefighters would never be the same after Bobby’s death. Nevertheless, the firefighters’ lives go on.

A recent post to Anirudh Pisharody’s TikTok confirms his return as Ravi Panikkar in 9-1-1 season 9. The video, which humorously juxtaposes Pisharody’s knowledge of viral trends with Oliver Stark’s chronically offline confusion, shows both actors in the iconic Lafd uniform. As such, despite his tendency to fade into the background or disappear completely, Ravi is still with the 118.

9-1-1 could be getting a scary twist in season 9, thanks to a new idea from a cast member. 9-1-1 season 8 ended with big changes for the characters, including a shocking wedding and life-threatening emergencies. The drama continues to mix intense rescues with personal drama, and keeps fans on the edge of their seats as 9-1-1 's cast of characters navigate both disaster scenes and their own lives.

9-1-1 star Jennifer Love Hewitt recently appeared on the “I’ve Never Said This Before With Tommy Didario” podcast (via Apple), where she shared, “What if I get a call at the 9-1-1 call center from a girl being chased by a fisherman? Wouldn’t that be fun?” She was, of course, referencing her character, Julie James, from the I Know What You Did Last Summer series. "I'm putting it out there," she joked.

Hewitt thinks that an Ikwydls episode would be fun,...

Chimney is getting back to work today in a sneak peek shared byKenneth Choi of his return to the set of 9-1-1 for the show’s ninth season. It’s been a nice break, but now it’s time for Choi and the rest of his co-stars to get back to saving lives as first responders on the beloved ABC procedural. Showing the major changes he underwent in order to pick up with his character, Choi’s post sees him losing the warm blonde highlights in his hair and fully going back to the life of a brunette. Now, the actor will presumably be joining others, including his on-screen wife, Jennifer Love Hewitt, for what we expect to be an emotional and action-packed set of episodes.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is famously recognized for her roles as Maddie Han (nee Buckley) on the drama9-1-1, and Julie James in the famous slasher flick I Know What You Did Last Summer. Now, she has an idea of how to combine the two.

On the I’ve Never Said This Before podcast, Hewitt shared her crossover pitch. “What if I get a call at the 911 call center from a girl being chased by a fisherman?" she said, per Collider. "Wouldn’t it be fun? It would be playful and it would be fun — like in a Halloween episode. I’m putting it out there! I think that would be really good, like, ‘911, what’s your emergency?’ ‘I’m being chased by a guy with a hook!’ ‘Really? We’ve all seen that movie.’ Wouldn’t that be brilliant?”

9-1-1 has taken on unique ideas, such as a killer bee swarm.

Peter Krause addresses9-1-1 fans ahead of the first season without his character. Bobby Nash’s tragic death in 9-1-1caused an uproar both among the viewers and the fictional characters themselves. Howard “Chimney” Han (Kenneth Choi) even blamed himself for the tragedy, since he was also infected by the pathogen that killed his captain but had access to an antidote.

The rest of 9-1-1 season 8 was dedicated to saying goodbye to Bobby, but the beloved captain left big shoes to fill. The ensemble grieved Bobby far beyond his funeral, rousing questions regarding the 118’s future. In the 9-1-1 season 8 finale, Chimney steps up to rally the team and prove his leadership abilities as the vacant captaincy looms overhead.

In a recent post to Kenneth Choi’s official Instagram, he relays a message from Peter Krause, who is the center of the reel. Krause juggles while playful effects,...

9-1-1 season 9 will debut a little later than expected, extending the wait for new episodes. ABC recently unveiled its upcoming primetime schedule, officially confirming when most of its scripted shows will return. While a few notable hits like The Rookie and Will Trent won't be back until next year, 9-1-1 season 9 is also taking more time to premiere.

The biggest breakout will be back first. High Potential season 2 will premiere on September 16 at 10 Pm, hurrying back to ABC's primetime schedule after the first installment solidified the enviable trend of gaining viewers as it went along. By its finale, the Kaitlin Olson-led procedural was attracting more than 10 million viewers per episode.

Although most ABC shows will be back in September or early October at most, 9-1-1 season 9 won't debut until Thursday, October 16 at 10 Pm. Deadlineconfirms that the same is true for 9-1-1: Nashville and the...

How does the 118 move on after Bobby's (Peter Krause) devastating death? 9-1-1 viewers will find out when the show returns this fall. ABC has announced that the highly anticipated ninth season of the drama series will premiere on Thursday, October 16, at 8 p.m. on the network. The show maintains the day and airtime that it has occupied since its move to ABC from Fox. The only development is that it won't be the only show in the 9-1-1 universe on ABC for much longer. The same night sees the premiere of 9-1-1: Nashville, a new series inspired by the flagship series. Closing the night at 10 p.m. is an all-new season of the long-running medical drama, Grey's Anatomy.

9-1-1 Season 9 will deal with a lot, but none more important than the aftermath of the death of Captain Bobby Nash. For the first time in the show's history, a main character died.

The 9-1-1 cast is gearing up for the Season 9 premiere this Fall, but spoilers rolling in for the new episodes are grim. Will the primetime drama survive without fan fave Bobby Nash (Peter Krause)? Keep reading to find out! Here’s what’s coming up this season on 9-1-1, spoilers down below!

Jennifer Love Hewitt has played the part of Maddie on the popular ABC drama, right along side Peter Krause since the show debuted. Krause’s character was a cornerstone on the series and considered a “hero” by fans at home that tuned in every week to watch him fight fires.

Bobby Nash’s Death On 9-1-1

Sadly, 9-1-1 killed off Robert “Bobby” Nash in a heartbreaking scene at the end of Season 8. Krause’s character sacrificed his own life to save another member of his team, he gave Chimney the last antidote to a...

Last season, the first responders of 9-1-1 experienced a heartrending loss that will forever change the show’s trajectory. In Season 8 of the procedural, Captain Bobby Nash (Peter Krause) passed away after being exposed to a deadly virus while the 118 was trapped in a lab. Putting others first, he didn't let anyone know he was compromised but gave the only antidote to Chimney (Kenneth Choi), Maddie’s (Jennifer Love Hewitt) husband, who also needed it.

Since the tragic loss, a few on the 9-1-1 team have weighed in on what the show would be like without Bobby’s warm presence, noting that it would never be the same. Most recently, Hewitt also had a few things to say, echoing her co-stars’ thoughts to Entertainment Tonight on the I Know What You Did Last Summer carpet on Monday, July 14. Per TV Insider, she teased a “sad” Season 9 without Bobby,...

9-1-1 Season 9 has begun production, but there's a tinge of sadness to it, because one actor won't be coming back.

At the end of Season 8, Peter Krause's character Bobby Nash died. It came as a tremendous shock to viewers of the show, who had gone the entire series without seeing a major character die, and it horrified the rest of the cast as well. So there's a bittersweet air around returning for Season 9, especially for Jennifer Love Hewitt, who spoke to Entertainment Tonight about it.

"It's not the same," she said as she arrived at the LA premiere of I Know What You Did Last Summer. "Nothing is the same. But I do think that, you know, when you're telling a story about first responders, unfortunately, those are the things that happen. [Krause] was the person that mattered to everyone in the cast the most. He was our hero.

Jennifer Love Hewitt revealed that 9-1-1 season 9 production is picking up, but it’s unfortunately continuing on without series lead Peter Krause.

If you don’t know, Peter‘s character Bobby Nash died in an April episode of the hit series, shocking fans. He was an original cast member, and his cast mates also seemed devastated by the loss.

Now, Jennifer is sharing how the cast is handling things getting back to work without him. If you don’t know, she portrays 9-1-1 dispatcher Maddie Han on the ABC series.

Jennifer remarked that the cast is “sad” continuing on without one of their leads.

“It’s not the same,” she told Et. “Nothing is the same.”

9-1-1 is never going to be the same. From the moment that Captain Bobby Nash (Peter Krause) was killed off in Season 8, we knew that to be true. And Jennifer Love Hewitt, who plays dispatcher Maddie, has said the same thing. The world of 9-1-1 without Bobby is “sad. Sad. It’s not the same. Nothing is the same,” she told Entertainment Tonight on the I Know What You Did Last Summer carpet on Monday, July 14. “But I do think that when you’re telling a story about first responders, unfortunately, those are the things that happen and he was the person that mattered to everyone in the cast the most and so I felt like he was our hero and he always will be.” That echoes what showrunner Tim Minear told TV Insider after the episode in which Bobby was killed off. The 118 was trapped in a lab,...

Nearly two months after 9-1-1's game-changing Season 8 came to a close, work on Season 9 is about to kick into high gear. Earlier this week, Jennifer Love Hewitt shared that the series was a couple of weeks out from returning to production and moving into a new era following the tragic exit of longtime co-lead Peter Krause. Now, Oliver Stark has chimed in with a video on Instagram offering exactly when he and the rest of the 118 will "get back to it." According to the star, filming begins in "eleven days," meaning July 22 will mark an end to "waking up late" and a return to dramatic first-responder action on ABC.

One thing Stark didn't provide, however, was any tease as to what's to come in Season 9 when the series returns to television this fall. Season 8 left the station fractured following the death of its stalwart captain Bobby Nash (Krause...

Oliver Stark opens up about acting, photography and personal growth in an exclusive interview that explores strength, simplicity and emotional depth.

Actor, photographer and emotional storyteller, Oliver Stark speaks with honesty and depth in this exclusive interview for Xmag. Known to millions as Evan “Buck” Buckley in 9-1-1, Stark steps out of uniform to reflect on identity, growth, and the creative process that keeps him grounded.

“There’s something special about discomfort,” he says. “I don’t often have big emotional reactions in real life, so filming those moments challenges me. But that’s where growth lives.” One such moment came in season 8, when his character Buck breaks down alone in a corridor. “I was nervous, but proud of how it came together. It felt real.”

As seen in many of its best episodes, "9-1-1" thrives on being unexpected. From the get-go, the crime procedural, from co-creators Ryan Murphy, Tim Minear, and Brad Falchuk, has been as much a week-to-week exploration of what it's like to be a first responder to emergencies in Los Angeles as it is about the wild and woolly personal lives of these people. One of the show's stalwart heroes is LAPD officer Athena Grant (played by the majestic Angela Bassett), first glimpsed as the wife of Michael Grant (Rockmond Dunbar) and mother to May and Harry. In the series pilot, as much as Athena is capable and sure-handed when wearing the shield and weapon of an LAPD officer, we learn her personal life is messy when Michael reveals to their kids that while they're married, he's gay. That decision would lead to Athena getting divorced, even though Michael stayed close to the family.

Jennifer Love Hewitt has confirmed the start of 9-1-1 season 9’s production. After Maddie suffered one of 9-1-1’s most gruesome injuries, Love Hewitt’s character earned a hopeful ending by giving birth to her second child and naming it after the dearly departed captain, Bobby Nash (Peter Krause). Nevertheless, 9-1-1 season 8 left many major questions unanswered.

Aside from the controversy surrounding Bobby's tragic death, there is uncertainty surrounding many characters and their season 9 arcs. Anirudh Pisharody's Ravi deserves to stay with the 118 in 9-1-1, but Eddie (Ryan Guzman) has officially moved back from Texas. Even Maddie has partially unresolved trauma from her horror movie-adjacent 9-1-1 season 8 storylines.

When speaking with Screen Rant's Ash Crossan, Jennifer Love Hewitt revealed that 9-1-1 season 9 would soon be underway, starting in mid-to-late July. Similar to the iconic role the actress is reprising in 2025’s I...

Over the past seven seasons, "9-1-1" has proven itself to be one of the wildest, most unexpected network procedurals on the air. (You can see our list of the show's best episodes here.) It's not a shock that something from the mind of Ryan Murphy would delight in throwing audiences for a loop, considering his past shows like "Glee" and "Nip/Tuck." But the basic idea of "9-1-1," which follows a group of first responders in Los Angeles as they navigate troubled personal lives and also save the lives of countless Angelenos in sticky situations, allows for the unexpected. But sometimes the unexpected means that cast members depart in surprising fashion. Though the show's most recent season ended with a truly jaw-dropping departure, "9-1-1" has always been comfortable saying goodbye to its cast when the moment is right. 

In the show's first season, one of the main characters, Abigail Clark (Connie Britton...

9-1-1 star Ryan Guzman predicted there would be a major death in season 8, albeit with one caveat. 9-1-1 season 9 is on the way, with filming due to begin in about a month, but the long-running procedural is still reeling from the death of Captain Bobby Nash (Peter Krause).

It marks the first time that the show has killed off a major character, though the 118 has been in plenty of danger in the past. That may be why Guzman, who plays Eddie Diaz, wasn't exactly surprised when he learned that a game-changing death was looming. He was just a little off base.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Guzman reflected on the fact that he thought Eddie was going to be the one to die. In the quote below, he talks with the host about readying himself to hear the bad news, only to learn that it's actually Bobby...

The 118 is going to need a new captain when 9-1-1 Season 9 begins. Near the end of Season 8, their beloved captain, Bobby (Peter Krause), died after being infected with a super strain of Cchf (Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever) for which they only had one anti-viral, which he gave to Chimney (Kenneth Choi). Hen (Aisha Hinds) was offered the job, but she turned it down. And in the Season 8 finale, Chimney certainly acted like a captain. Buck (Oliver Stark) has wanted the job in the past — when there needed to be an interim captain with Bobby on vacation — but he’s not ready for that just yet. However, when TV Insider recently spoke with Oliver Stark about Buck’s future, we asked him what kind of captain he thinks his character will be eventually. “I think the thing that he would struggle with the most being captain is not being the...

5 TV Shows With Brutal & Shocking Main Character Deaths! (Photo Credit – Hotstar)

Game of Thrones shocked the world when it axed Ned Stark before the first season even wrapped. But believe it or not, some shows have gone even harder, killing off their leads before you could blink. Ned’s death was no random twist. Sean Bean’s Eddard Stark was the moral anchor, the face of the show. His beheading at the hands of Joffrey wasn’t just bold storytelling; it was a signal. No one was safe, and Westeros didn’t play by TV rules.

But Game of Thrones didn’t invent the shock-exit playbook. At least, the central figure, Daenerys Targaryen, lived until the finale, Season 8, Episode 6. Plenty of shows have taken that swing, sometimes for story, sometimes because life got messy off-screen. When it’s pulled off right, though, it doesn’t just twist the plot. It leaves a mark.

9-1-1 will be heading into an uncertain future when the show returns for Season 9. As fans know, Captain Bobby Nash (Peter Krause) met his end in Season 8, leaving the 118 without a leader. While it will be difficult for the others to move on without Bobby, a new captain must be named.

Per Principle Magazine, Evan "Buck" Buckley actor Oliver Stark commented on where things could go in 9-1-1 Season 9. He shared how filming will begin in "about a month," so he hasn't read any scripts just yet to know for sure. Noting how Bobby was a mentor for Buck, Stark would like to see his character step into that role for some of the younger characters on the show. With that noted, the actor also hinted that he doesn't foresee Buck stepping up as the new captain, at least at this point in his life, as the character...

NBC’s Parenthood ran for six seasons and over 100 episodes. The series developed a family out of the cast, both on screen and off.

It was a heartwarming drama, covering relatable and emotional storylines about parenting, adoption, autism, and cancer.

We miss family dramas like this that often had you crying and laughing in the same episode.

When the series began, it featured recognizable faces like Lauren Graham and Craig T. Nelson.

Other actors became more familiar and went on to appear in additional projects after this.

9-1-1 star Oliver Stark reveals that one fan-favorite character won't be replacing Bobby. It's in the 9-1-1 season 8 finale, "Sesimic Shifts", that a reluctant successor to Captain Bobby Nash (Peter Krause) is teased. The season's closing installment tackles the question of who will lead the 118 as its new captain, though the hour ends without an official announcement one way.

Stark, who plays Evan Buckley, spoke with Principle Magazine and revealed why he thinks that Buck would not want to be the leader of the 118. In the quote below, the actor talks about respecting Hen (Aisha Hinds) and Chimney (Kenneth Choi) as potential successors. His quote is below:

“It’s a job that Buck probably sees himself one day hoping to do, but I don’t think he would feel comfortable wanting that position now. I think he looks at Hen and Chimney and he’s like, ‘Those are...

9-1-1 has been one of the biggest shows on broadcast TV since its 2018 premiere, and for good reason.

From day one, it offered an emotional, action-packed look at first responders whose professional heroism often clashed with chaotic personal lives. It wasn’t just spectacle — it had soul.

However, after watching every episode, I can say with confidence that 9-1-1 Season 8 has written the series into a corner.

The biggest issue? You already know. Bobby’s death — and the way it was handled — shook the show like never before.

Sure, some series thrive on a shocking shakeup, but this one felt less like bold storytelling and more like a budget cut in disguise.

Peter Krause’s beloved character deserved a meaningful exit, not a hastily cobbled-together goodbye that left fans reeling for the wrong reasons.

9‑1‑1's Oliver Stark reveals when season 9 will start production. A lot has changed in the world of the first-responder drama since 9-1-1 season 9 was renewed in May. The biggest change, of course, is the death of Captain Bobby Nash. It marks the exit of original cast member Peter Krause, as well as the first time that a main character was killed off. The controversial storytelling decision hangs over the upcoming season, which will enter production soon.

In an interview with Principle Magazine, Stark was asked to share what he knows about the upcoming season. The actor, who plays Evan Buckley, revealed that the cast and crew are due to begin filming in one month. In the quote below, Stark also touches on how Bobby's death will impact the 118 moving forward:

We’ll start shooting season 9 in about a month. I have read nothing yet. It’s gonna be interesting...

9-1-1: Nashville reveals a major element in a new set photo, previewing what to expect from the spinoff. The second spinoff in the first-responder franchise, after 9-1-1: Lone Star ended earlier this year, 9-1-1: Nashville recently unveiled its main cast ahead of its debut on ABC later this year.

Bringing in television veterans such as Chris O'Donnell (NCIS: Los Angeles) and Jessica Capshaw (Grey's Anatomy), along with LeeAnn Rimes and Kimberly Williams-Paisley, the upcoming series will put Nashville's reputation as Music City to the test early on. It is also steadily setting up the locations and sets crucial to the 9-1-1 franchise.

9-1-1 News(on X) has shared photos of the 113's firehouse on 9-1-1: Nashville. According to the account, which tracks developments connected to the hit series, a permit reveals that the building will undergo $340,000 in renovations in order to be ready for primetime.

9-1-1 star Oliver Stark has discussed the exciting new restructuring of the 118 could see in 9-1-1 season 9. Stark has played the role of Buck in the hit ABC procedural since it premiered in January 2018, and the character developed a strong bond with Peter Krause's character Bobby. 9-1-1 season 8's earth-shattering Bobby death has hugely affected Buck, but is also set to have a major impact on the future of the show as a whole too.

In a new interview with Principle Magazine, Stark reflected on the ending of 9-1-1 season 8, which brought with it the loss of Peter Krause's character Bobby. He discussed how this is going to lead to big changes within the 118, when it comes to restructuring, and that the new season is going to focus strongly on moving on from Bobby's death, and how this might change the way in which everyone comes...

9-1-1will return to ABC for Season 9 this fall, and the historic season will see a significant shift in the show's Station 126. Following Bobby's (Peter Krause) death in Season 8, the station and its characters will try to figure out what's next for them. Series star Oliver Stark told Principle Magazine that he would like to see the show explore how Buck copes with losing his mentor, Bobby Nash, when the season premieres. "We’ll start shooting Season 9 in about a month," he shared with the publication, revealing that production start is imminent. "I have read nothing yet," the actor added. Given that scripts are yet to come out, Stark shared the general direction he wishes to see his character's story take.

"It’s gonna be interesting in the sense that at the end of Season 8, we lost Peter Krause’s character," he said. " I think Season 9 is gonna be...

When 9-1-1 returns in fall 2025, there will be a major change in the 118, something that the end of Season 8 did not address: Who will be the next captain, following the heartbreaking, tragic death of Bobby Nash (Peter Krause)? Following Bobby’s death in Season 8 Episode 15, showrunner Tim Minear told TV Insider that wasn’t something that would be answered just yet. We knew it wouldn’t be until Season 9 that we’d learn the answer, though the discussions did begin onscreen, with Hen (Aisha Hinds) turning down the job offer. Now, in a new interview with Principle Magazine, Oliver Stark has revealed that filming on the new season begins “in about a month,” and while he has yet to read a script, he does have an idea about what to expect. “It’s gonna be interesting in the sense that at the end of Season 8, we lost Peter Krause’s character,...

There are going to be a lot of changes for the main set of characters on ABC’s 9-1-1 when the title returns for its ninth season this fall. The major one will, of course, be the fallout and continuation of grief following the passing of the firehouse captain, Bobby Nash (Peter Krause). But aside from the shared roller coaster of emotions that the members of the 118 will be going through, there will also be personal highs and lows that will carry the characters through the next set of episodes. For Oliver Stark’s Evan “Buck” Buckley, he’ll be on the hunt for a new home, or maybe he’ll have already found that cozy corner of the world by the time the Season 9 premiere airs. Either way, after Eddie (Ryan Guzman) decided to ditch his new life in Texas and return to Los Angeles, Buck was forced...

Father’s Day is coming up, and it’s a bittersweet holiday for me because my dad died ten years ago, right before Father’s Day.

As we all know, father-child relationships have long been a staple of many television shows.

We’ve watched TV dads guide their children, impart wisdom, and leave behind legacies. We are remembering some of the great late TV dads this Father’s Day.

Some died nearly 20 years ago, and some passed away recently.

But their deaths crushed us, and they won’t be forgotten.

9-1-1star Kenneth Choi opens up about his character's future on the series.

Speaking to TV Insider, Choi responded to the question of whether his character, Howard "Chimney" Han, might be ready to step into the role of Captain in the upcoming ninth season of 9-1-1. "No. Chimney’s not ready for any type of dutiful responsibilities whatsoever. Never," Choi replied.

9-1-1 had plenty of major shakeups in its eighth season, not the least of which was the shocking death of Peter Krause's Captain Bobby Nash in the season's fifteenth episode, "Lab Rats." In the episode, Nash sacrifices his own life in order to save the rest of his team from a lethal, fast-moving virus. The loss of Nash hit the series' main cast of characters about as hard as they could imagine, and made some major waves with the stars of the show, as well.

Shortly...

Yes, 9-1-1 is a procedural, and by the very definition, it is the detailed and realistic treatment of a professional procedure.

There are police procedurals, medical procedurals, legal procedurals, and then there are ones that don’t fit into a cute little box like 9-1-1.

These types of series are typically story-driven, namely cases of the week, and character-driven stories second, but 9-1-1 has never been the typical procedural, and the key to their long-term success has always lain in that convergence of adrenaline, heart-pumping action, and beautifully crafted character stories.

When 9-1-1 Season 1 premiered, the hook for many new viewers was the star-studded lineup, which included Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, and Connie Britton, alongside the action.

Early promotion sold a show that would have daring emergencies, and that’s something the series has excelled at over its first eight seasons.

The Bear Season 4 Could Be Cooking...

Hollywood icon Rob Lowe is open to returning to the 9-1-1 franchise. However, the actor says he will have to check with his brother, Chad Lowe, who works on the series.

Speaking via Deadline, Lowe addressed a potential return to his iconic role as Captain Owen Strand in the upcoming 9-1-1: Nashville spinoff series. "Well, I'll have to ask Chad Lowe, my brother. See, all my family are gatekeepers to my own future business now," he joked. "Chad Lowe is the executive producer and director of 9-1-1: Nashville. And so I'm just waiting for my phone to ring.I mean, you know, I hired him on Lone Star. I think turnabout is fair play."

Lowe previously starred as Captain Owen Strand of Fire Station 126 in Austin, Texas throughout the entirety of9-1-1: Lone Star's five-season run. A spinoff of the main 9-1-1 series, the show maintained the...

Just like Chimney and Hen are ride-or-dies and always there to back each other up, you can count on 9-1-1 stars Kenneth Choi and Aisha Hinds being a great pair to support one another. The Season 8 finale ended with Chimney certainly coming across very “Cap”-like — Hen even calls him Cap after his speech — and the 118 does need a new leader in the wake of Bobby’s (Peter Krause) tragic, heartbreaking death. But is Chimney ready for that when the show returns for Season 9 in the fall? “No. Chimney’s not ready for any type of dutiful responsibilities whatsoever. Never,” Kenneth Choi quipped to TV Insider on the 2025 Disney Upfront carpet in May. Aisha Hinds interjected with, “I wouldn’t say never. I think that’s being a little hyperbolic. You are a responsible person, and I think he could be ready for it.” “She just slipped into Hen mode.

Dick Wolf's "One Chicago" franchise has been one of NBC's most reliable Nielsen ratings performers since its flagship show, "Chicago Fire," debuted in the fall of 2012. Aside from the ill-fated, semi-redundant "Chicago Justice" (which only lasted 13 episodes in 2017), the series and its spinoffs, "Chicago P.D." and "Chicago Med," seem every bit as unkillable as Wolf's "Law & Order" franchise. As long as the shows' fans keep tuning in every week, these Windy City procedurals ain't goin' nowhere.

Alas, the cast members aren't guaranteed to stick around for quite as long. Fans were reminded of this when, prior to the conclusion of the show's 13th season, it was announced that Daniel Kyri and Jake Lockett would not be returning to the show in the fall. Obviously, long-running series like "Chicago Fire" need viewers to sense that every character is human and, thus, vulnerable to an unexpectedly fatal end, but this...

In the most fitting Nashville, Tennessee fashion, audiences just got their first look at9-1-1: Nashvilleatthis year's CMA Fest, held in downtown Nashville, which teases just how intertwined the "music" in Music City will be with the upcoming 9-1-1 spin-off. The upcoming series will air on Thursdays on ABC after the flagship 9-1-1 returns for its ninth season. The new promo comes just days after the announcement of a new batch of cast members.

In the promo, played for audiences inside Nissan Stadium last night, we learned that some of the firefighters a part of the show will be aspiring musicians. The show is aiming to be big and crazy and spectacular, which is a tall order after the most recent season of 9-1-1kicked the season off with a Bee-nado and ended it with the shocking death of Bobby Nash (Peter Krause).

Who Stars...

One thing that has become clear from behind-the-scenes photos and videos of the 9-1-1 set is that the cast has fun on set. It’s one such moment that is already online that came up when TV Insider had stars Oliver Stark (Buck) and Aisha Hinds (Hen) in our office playing a game of Knock Your Blocks Off ahead of the Season 8 finale. When asked about a scene that made him break while shooting, Stark recalled filming the Season 7 finale with Hinds, Kenneth Choi (Chimney), and Ryan Guzman (Eddie). The four of them were in the hospital hallway with Bobby (Peter Krause) in the hospital after nearly dying when his and Athena’s (Angela Bassett) house burned down. “For some reason, we just could not keep it together and we were in hysterics. Nobody wanted to look at each other. Every time you’d look, you’d break,” Stark recalled.

Good news comes to those who wait, and today it’s time for that patience to pay off for fans of NBC’s Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med, as Deadline reveals that the main cast have officially signed their contracts for their respective upcoming seasons. Those at home can finally take a deep sigh of relief knowing that Taylor Kinney, Miranda Rae Mayo, and Dermot Mulroney will return to put out more blazes in Chicago Fire, while S. Empatha Merkerson and Oliver Pall will continue to save lives at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center in Chicago Med, and Jason Beghe will put on his boots and patrol the streets once again in Chicago P.D.

The news will come as a huge comfort, specifically to diehards of Chicago Fire, who have already seen plenty of upset after it was announced that series staples, Daniel Kyri and Jake Lockett,...

9-1-1 star Anirudh Pisharody opens up about the chances of Ravi joining the 118 on a more permanent basis. Pisharody has recurred as Ravi Panikkar since season 4, first appearing in the episode "Jinx." But he's been a more regular fixture on the first-responder procedural during season 8, filling the void created when Eddie Diaz (Ryan Guzman) moved to Texas. It's led to speculation that Ravi could be joining the 118 more permanently when the new season of 9-1-1rolls around.

In an interview with Screen Rant's Rachel Foertsch, Pisharody addressed the possibility of Ravi sticking around for season 9. The actor said that he loved the show, expressing enthusiasm about the possibility. In the quote below, Pisharody jokes about petitioning showrunner and co-creator Tim Minear to have Ravi board the show. Read the actor's quote below:

That's a good question. I should ask you that. I think it's just the nature of a show like this.
