‘9-1-1’ Sets Season 10’s Winter Return
9-1-1 always kicks off a new season with a big emergency, and Season 10 was no different, with the first three episodes covering a volcano in Los Angeles. (Let’s be honest: Given that the series went to space last season, where else could it have gone next?)
But now it’s back to the usual episodes, and we also know that we won’t have to wait too long after the holidays for Season 10 to resume. ABC announced its midseason dates on Friday, November 6, and 9-1-1‘s return was among them. The series returns on Thursday, January 7, 2027.
Read on for everything we know so far about the show’s future.
When does 9-1-1 Season 10 return?
9-1-1 Season 10 returns in 2027 on Thursday, January 7, still at 8/7c, on ABC.
The series was renewed on March 5, the day that Season 9 Episode 12 aired. It was no surprise, given that both 9-1-1 and the spinoff, 9-1-1: Nashville, ranked in the Top 10 dramas among Adults 18-49 in multiplatform viewing over seven days.

What’s 9-1-1 about?
9-1-1‘s official logline reads: “The series explores the high-pressure experiences of first responders — including police officers, firefighters and dispatchers — who are thrust into the most frightening, shocking and heart-stopping conditions. These emergency responders must try to balance saving those who are at their most vulnerable with solving the problems in their own lives. The show draws from the real lives of first responders who regularly face situations that are often unpredictable, intense and uplifting at the same time.”
Who’s in the 9-1-1 cast?
9-1-1 Season 9 stars Angela Bassett as Athena Grant, Jennifer Love Hewitt as Maddie Han, Oliver Stark as Evan “Buck” Buckley, Kenneth Choi as Howie “Chimney” Han, Aisha Hinds as Henrietta “Hen” Wilson, Ryan Guzman as Eddie Diaz, and Gavin McHugh as Christopher Diaz. We’ll have to wait to see if everyone returns. The cast has mostly stayed the same over the years, but in Season 8, Peter Krause‘s Bobby Nash was shockingly killed off.
How did 9-1-1 Season 9 end?
Among the storylines that have to carry over and be explored in Season 10 are Buck fostering Theo, the son his friends had when he was a sperm donor, after they died and Athena now being a detective.
What’s the status of 9-1-1: Nashville?
The newest spinoff — Lone Star ran five seasons — was renewed for its second season on the same day the original got its pickup.
