9-1-1 Scores Early Season 8 Renewal on ABC

9-1-1 will return for another season on ABC!

The network has renewed the first-responder drama for Season 8 — its second season at its new broadcast home, according to TV Line. This early renewal comes less than a week after its three-episode cruise ship arc ended with 9-1-1 Season 7 Episode 3, “Capsized,” on Thursday, March 28.

News of an eighth season also comes days before the drama series celebrates its 100th episode with 9-1-1 Season 7 Episode 4, “Buck Bothered and Bewildered,” on Thursday, April 4, at 8/7c on ABC.

The first-responder drama series has made quite a splash on ABC.

9-1-1 moved to the new network after FOX canceled the series but kept its spinoff, 9-1-1: Lone Star, which will return for Season 5 in 2024

The mothership series concluded its run on FOX with 9-1-1 Season 6 Episode 18, “Pay It Forward,” in May 2023. 

The epic drama made its ABC debut with 9-1-1 Season 7 Episode 1, “Abandon ‘Ships,” on March 14, at 8/7c. The series joined ABC’s Thursday night line-up, which includes Grey’s Anatomy at 9/8c and Station 19 at 10/9c.

After the season premiere, ABC shared that it delivered 9-1-1‘s highest-rated multiplatform telecast in nearly two years among adults 18-49, and the series scored its most-streamed day ever on Hulu.

“Abandon ‘Ships” “pulled in approximately 11.8 million multiplatform viewers in its first seven days of availability, with the show ranking as the most-watched ABC current series across all platforms this season,” per ABC via Variety.

Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Tim Minear, 9-1-1 stars Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, Oliver Stark, Aisha Hinds, Kenneth Choi, Ryan Guzman, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Gavin McHugh. Minear serves as the series’ showrunner. 

Murphy, Falchuk, Minear, Bassett, Krause, John J. Gray, Brad Buecker, Kristen Reidel, Juan Carlos Coto, and Lyndsey Beaulieu executive produce. 20th Television produces 9-1-1 in association with Ryan Murphy Television and Brad Falchuk Teley-Vision.
