Get your calendars set because 9-1-1 Season 10 is officially premiering on Thursday, October 15, at 8/7c on ABC, with next-day streaming on Hulu. The show is keeping its prime Thursday night slot, sandwiched between 9-1-1: Nashville and Grey’s Anatomy.
The creators promise the 10th season opener is pure wildness, starting with a giant downtown sinkhole that opens up an active volcano right under Los Angeles. Yes, you read that right. The 118 will be running into burning lava, trying to rescue civilians while dodging molten rock, and Hen is telling the team to ‘try not to get Pompeii’d.’ Chimney even jokes that ‘the floor is lava’ for Eddie.
Let’s address the giant elephant in the room: Bobby Nash is really gone. Peter Krause, who played the beloved captain, officially wrapped up his run after Season 8 and is now starring in NBC’s Line of Fire. Krause recently opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about why killing Bobby was a good move, letting Chimney step up as captain and letting the team deal with real loss. He knows fans are still screaming that Bobby will return with amnesia since they never technically found his body, but he’s hoping we just remember him fondly.
Big news for crossover lovers: 9-1-1: Nashville showrunner Rashad Raisani confirmed there will be multiple crossovers this season. The first one kicks off in the second episode of Nashville, where the crew FaceTimes Buck during a massive crisis. Raisani also teased a big crossover bringing back some favorite Lone Star characters—think Owen, Judd, and Carlos—to hang out with the 118.
On the personal front, things are shifting for the team. Athena is adjusting to her new detective role, partnering up with Det. Newell. Buck is officially a single dad to 4-year-old Theo, the son of his late friends, and he’s turning to Eddie for parenting advice. Meanwhile, Maddie and Eddie are finally going to have a real, proper conversation on screen, which fans have been begging for. May is starting nursing school, balancing her boyfriend Ravi and a potential spark with fellow nurse Ian, and the crew will even share a family dinner.
As for the ‘Buddie’ shipping debate, Ryan Guzman recently shared that Eddie is still pretty clueless when it comes to Buck’s feelings, keeping the tension alive for now. Season 10 will hit the massive 150-episode milestone, but ABC has not officially renewed it for Season 11 yet, though that is expected to happen soon.
