Overview
- ABC schedules the Season 9 premiere for Thursday, Oct. 9 at 8 p.m. ET, with episodes streaming the next day on Hulu.
- A new teaser shows the 118 staring down meteors falling toward Los Angeles, setting up a large-scale crisis.
- This is the first season without Peter Krause’s Bobby Nash, and showrunner Tim Minear says the team will be "grappling" rather than entering a prolonged mourning arc.
- Minear confirms Chim will lead the 118 as acting captain at the start of the season, though the position is not locked in long term.
- Core cast members return, with Corinne Massiah and Elijah M. Cooper promoted to series regulars, and Mark Consuelos guest-starring as a billionaire in a whale-related episode tease.
