The ninth season of the hit TV series 9-1-1, premiering on October 9, 2025, on ABC, features a dramatic storyline where characters Hen and Athena go to space after saving billionaire Tripp Houser from a whale-related accident. Despite initial hesitations, Hen invites her wife Karen and Athena to join the historic space flight, which faces peril due to a geomagnetic storm and previous warnings ignored by Tripp. The season opens with the 118 firehouse team honoring their late captain Bobby Nash and then dealing with the chaos caused by the space mission and its fallout on Earth. The show continues its tradition of high-stakes emergencies and introduces new challenges while maintaining a strong ensemble cast led by Angela Bassett and Aisha Hinds. Season 9 will consist of 18 episodes and follows the series' move from Fox to ABC, continuing its blend of intense rescue operations and personal drama. Notably, two stars from season 8, including Peter Krause, will not be returning, marking a new chapter for the series.
