‘9-1-1’ Season 9 Begins Filming: See Oliver Stark on Set in Adorable Photo
Our favorite first responders will be back on our screens before you know it! Days after 9-1-1 Season 9 got a premiere date when ABC released its fall 2025 dates for its new and returning shows, the cast has returned to set to begin filming the new episodes.
Oliver Stark shared a photo of himself and his dog outside his trailer on the set of the ABC drama on Thursday, July 24. “Season 9 here we go!” he wrote in the caption on Instagram. See it below.
9-1-1 returns with its ninth season on Thursday, October 16, at 8/7c — its third on ABC, after moving over from Fox in 2023 — and it will be followed by the series premiere of its spinoff, 9-1-1: Nashville (starring Chris O’Donnell and Jessica Capshaw), and the Season 22 premiere of Grey’s Anatomy. With 9-1-1‘s return hopefully comes plenty of answers for those lingering questions we’ve had since May.

This will be the first full season without Peter Krause, whose Captain Bobby Nash died tragically on the job with three episodes still to go in Season 8. He didn’t reveal he, too, had been infected by a super-strain of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever until after he’d given the only anti-viral to Chimney (Kenneth Choi) and the rest of the 118 had exited the lab.
In the subsequent episodes, the 118 was left without a permanent captain, and Hen (Aisha Hinds) turned down the job when it was offered to her. In the finale, Chimney did seem to step up into the role, including giving a rousing speech when everyone returned to the 118 following a building collapse. But we’ll have to wait until Season 9 to find out who is going to be taking over leadership.
The new episodes also have to address where Athena (Angela Bassett) will live, since she decided to sell her and Bobby’s new house, as well as Buck (Stark), after Eddie (Ryan Guzman) moved back to LA since he was subletting his house.
What are you hoping to see in Season 9? Let us know in the comments section below.

Bobby should come back they planned a a funeral to make it seem likes he died because of the evil government and to prevent jail time or science experiments on him on how he is still alive Athena sold their home to go be with him in another country where they either retire or continue their work. Eddie and buck hop up and become very romantic chim talks hen into becoming captain and she eventually gives in. Although the building collapse all are safe and that’s when they recognize they have each other and only each other to depend on family isn’t always perfect and blood doesn’t make you family.

No I really hope they do get together cause that would be nice to see plus Christopher loves buck and they have been hinting about them for a while so i really want to see it there are enough straight couples on the show we have a lesbian couple and i love them but i want to see buck as proper gay couple with eddie cause they both clearly have feelings for each other as more than friends and you can see it i mean look at how well eddie knows buck and how many times maddie hinted buck was gay so i hope that they become the next couple i mean it they both deserve to be happy and neither of them was successful with their female couple settings for a reason

fr!! their chemistry is unmatched, it'd just be queerbaiting if they didn't get together. it makes the most sense since eddie is very clearly gay... since he drives all the women he dates away from him...

i think that’s a stretch. he drove away women because he wasn’t over his dead ex wife. if anything he might be bi.

I want to see Bobby come back. I don’t think anyone could play the part as well as he did.

I absolutely love this show. However, how in the world did a womanizer suddenly become gay? Stop throwing gayness in everyone's face. Also, if they can bring Dexter back from the dead, they can bring Bobby back!!!

Tim Minear stabbed the fans in the back with killing Bobby. Won’t be watching season 9. Love the cast but the show is ruined now.

Unless Peter Krause decides to return, I'd like to see Chim's vision for the 118 play out in season 9, with him as captain. The story lines are excellent (other than Bobby's death). The writers know how to keep fans on the edge of their seat and the heart warming relationships make the show what it is. No more will they/won't they for Ed and Buck. It's a brotherhood, the 118 is family, let's keep it that way. I'm down for more of the same with 911, unfortunately without Bobby- and hopefully not without Athena.

I had it spoiled for me (Bobby's death) months ago because I was watching for the first 9-1-1 and 9-1-1 Lone Star really liked it. I'm hoping that at least a couple of characters Marjian and someone else will go to L. A. or maybe Nashville. I'm not going to be cliche and say Bobby should come back. I mean they killed his character off for a reason. But I plan to watch season 9. I understand why Peter Krause stopped playing him because he's an actor and he wants to do other things and maybe accomplish more as an actor. My favorite character is Chimney.
