As 9-1-1 enters its ninth season amid the 2025 TV schedule, the sequence’ producers try to as soon as once more prime themselves. Since Season 2, the primary responder drama has gone large for its season premieres and, whereas it began with earthquakes and tsunamis, the present actually went off the rails final season with a “bee-nado.” It was laborious to foretell how the newest premiere would prime that, however the ABC hit simply teased characters going to area — and followers have all of the humorous takes.
This week, ABC launched a teaser that noticed a number of the characters reacting to what appeared to be meteors hurling in direction of Los Angeles, and it went viral. Subsequently, the community launched a brand new clip that sheds extra gentle on what is going on down. This consists of Athena (Angela Bassett) and Hen (Aisha Hinds) heading into outer area, full with astronaut fits and a rocket. Loads of followers shared their ideas on X, and I’m unsure what I discover extra amusing: Their feedback or the truth that this storyline is definitely occurring:
- Going toe to toe with Quick and livid for pure ridiculousness -@olatantc
- When the writers run out of streets, they purpose for orbit. -@DaCulturedSwine
- 9-1-1 is so humorous as a result of what enterprise does a Los Angeles cop and firefighter have going to area -@michaelcollado
- I can’t consider that is actual. Okay, 911, certain. No matter you say! A cop and a firefighter in area. I’m uncertain how they’re gonna clarify that, however I sadly will likely be discovering out why beginning October 9. -@mogutweet
- Is that this a doomsday present? I believed this was a low finances first responders drama. -@AJohansen592
- That is so outrageous and corny!!!!!! I’m right here for all of it -@junioroxoa
There are solely so many Earth-based emergencies that may occur on 9-1-1, with the present happening in Los Angeles, that might be sufficiently big for a season premiere. Nonetheless, it is so humorous that the writers simply determined to take the motion into outer area. Additionally, as one of many feedback steered, it is laborious not to consider the Quick & Livid franchise doing the identical factor a couple of years in the past.
If something, although, this current improvement does appear to be stirring up extra curiosity in 9-1-1, whether or not it’s for the suitable or unsuitable causes. Regardless, I like that the promo has lots of people speaking and intrigued about how this entire area emergency will likely be pulled off. Test it out:
Watch On
After eight seasons, 9-1-1 followers know to count on the sudden. There have been some fairly insane emergencies that Athena and the 118 have needed to cope with, however none come shut with having to go to area. There are nonetheless a variety of questions that should be answered about this intergalactic voyage, resembling why NASA isn’t concerned and why the LAPD and LAFD are apparently main the cost. (Critically, I must see this episode now.)
In fact, not storyline on 9-1-1 Season 9 goes to contain area. The 118 will likely be on the lookout for Bobby’s alternative following his shocking loss of life, however it’s laborious to inform who will tackle the job. I believe it is more likely to be somebody in-house, fairly than a random new captain. Followers have been speculating that Chimney (Kenneth Choi) will take over after his speech within the Season 8 finale. Each Choi and Hinds shared their ideas on Chim stepping up and, though Choi didn’t see it occurring, Hinds expressed optimism.
I am keen to seek out out who’ll fill Bobby’s sneakers, however I actually wish to know what occurs when Athena and Hen go to area. Longtime followers (and newbies who’re simply curious) can tune in for the 9-1-1 season premiere on Thursday, October 9, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, and it streams the subsequent day with a Hulu subscription. I would think about that if the social media feedback are already this wild, then followers are going to be live-tweeting up a storm come premiere evening.
