When is 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 9 out? Full release schedule
ABCWhat’s your emergency? For us, it’s that another season of the hit medical drama is coming to a close – but when is the next episode of 9-1-1 Season 8 released?
After the explosive Season 7 ending, 9-1-1 Season 8 came back with a bang. Bobby managed to live another day after his ill-fated heart attack… but that did mean he lost his position in the 118.
Buck and Tommy have shocked everyone by parting ways, and while Bobby is now back on the beat, Athena could be taking her final hurrah.
But what’s really been happening in the binge-worthy TV show, and when is the next episode of 9-1-1 Season 8 out?
When is 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 9 out?
According to IMDb, 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 9 won’t be out until March 6, 2025. Pointing out the obvious, that’s a four-month wait.
We’ve now had the mid-season finale of Season 8 as of November 21, but starts are keeping tight-lipped on what’s to come.
What we do know is there’s set to be a time leap. Actor Peter Krause told Dexerto “What I understand there is going to be a time leap, So I don’t know if we’re going to discover Bobby and Athena in a new home or if they’re going to be building one.”
We can also expect Buck to stay single for a while after his unexpected breakup with Tommy.
“Right now he’s cooking around the firehouse under the guidance of his captain,” Oliver Stark told us. “As with any breakup, you focus on the good things – your job, and the people around you. So, yeah, I think we’re going to see him settling back into that 118-family unit and focus on the job for a while.”
No official details for Season 8 Episode 9 have been released, but we’ll keep this page updated as soon as we know more.
What time do new episodes come out?
9-1-1 Season 8 airs Thursdays at 8 pm ET on a weekly basis.
ABCNew episodes will then be added to any Disney owned streamer – think Hulu and Disney+ – the day after.
Fans will know timings for spinoff 9-1-1 Lone Star, which has been airing its fifth and final season, are exactly the same… meaning you might have some tough decisions to make.
With the season finale left to go, Lone Star has stayed over on Fox, while later seasons of the main 9-1-1 series moved over to ABC.
What’s happened so far?
Key 9-1-1 Season 8 plot points include Bobby’s issues with his firefighting TV show following his retirement, Buck and Tommy’s relationship, and Gerrard bringing in major changes back at the station.
ABCThe Season 7 ending saw Bobby essentially forced into a retirement he didn’t want to take, leading to feeling undermined as a technical advisor on a new TV show project.
However, after a few scrapes – which involve being rescued on a prop fire truck during Episode 3 – Bobby returns to his rightful position as captain of the 118 at the end of Episode 4.
This is all because Gerrard has got in over his head while implementing new changes at the station. He originally wanted to lay off 12% of the firehouse due to budget issues, then enforced a new rule that all firefighters must wear bodycams (which went down like a lead balloon).
It’s revealed Councilwoman Olivia Ortiz assigned Gerrard to the 118 in the first place, leading to threats to shut down the entire squad altogether to maximize budget. They fight it in court… and long story short, Bobby comes back swinging.
Meanwhile, Tommy told Buck that he was secretly engaged to Abby – the girl Buck used to hook up with – for 2 years. In an act of self-preservation, Buck called things quits. But does this mean Eddie could be a potential new love interest further down the line?
