‘9-1-1’ Sends Athena & Hen to Space?! Watch Season 9 Trailer (VIDEO)
When Anirudh Pisharody said that there were “out of this world” episodes coming up in 9-1-1 Season 9 in a cast video promoting the new season, he wasn’t lying! The first responder drama has had some wild emergencies to kick off seasons in the past — a massive earthquake, a tsunami, and a bee-nado, to name a few — but the one for Season 9, premiering on Thursday, October 9, takes things to a whole new level.
The new 9-1-1 Season 9 promo recaps the previous disasters before revealing what will kick off this fall: Athena (Angela Bassett) and Hen (Aisha Hinds) are going to space?! “They will go where no first responders have gone before,” the promo says. Watch it above to see Athena and Hen in spacesuits and in space.
We’ll have to wait and see exactly how this fits in with what else is coming up at the beginning of the season. After all, as executive producer Tim Minear told TV Insider at the beginning of Season 8 (for the bee-nado episodes), “I’m sort of following the same pattern that I generally follow, which is you come in to a season premiere and you have some fun cases that then kind of lead to something bigger that’s maybe not an exact offshoot of the thing you were playing in the premiere episode.” In that case, “The bee story collides with the Athena story at the end of the premiere, and then it sort of becomes Airport 1975 at that point.”
Following that pattern, Athena and Hen in space will likely collide with something and lead to something else, or it will be the culminating event of the season’s opening emergency. Either way, it’s definitely a wild start to the season.

You have got to be kidding. I thought this show was supposed to be realistic . Maybe they can bring Bobby back as well. The show really needs him back. It might make the show have more sense .This is sort of far fetched.

Bring back Bobby. They can say the government took him and were able to bring him back. He can be placed in some crazy part of LA and Athena sees him. His memory is gone, but he recognizes her.

They're jumping the shark. Taking Bobby off the show ruined and now they're doing this. I bet it gets canceled after this season. They took the heart and soul out of that show with the loss of Bobby. The show will not survive.

I want Bobby back. I do find it interesting that Peter Krause hasn't announced a new project yet. You'd think a jillion shows would love to have him.
Meanwhile, I'm going to assume this is some kind of dream sequence.

Stupid. Really a copy and paramedic are the most qualified to go to space.

Unless this is for the show that Bobby used to advise for, 9-1-1 will definitely jump the shark with this one.
