9-1-1 season 6: how to watch, cast and everything we know

Television fans have always loved a good procedural. 9-1-1 is a procedural that follows the lives of Los Angeles firefighters, police officers and 9-1-1 call center operators. The show was developed by American Horror Stories creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk.

9-1-1 season 6 was greenlit this past May. The series was one of the last shows to be renewed by Fox despite its popularity with fans. The delay in renewing the show came from having to negotiate new contracts with the cast. 

The series has been given the green light for season 7, but the big news is that it's leaving Fox and moving to ABC to join their 2023-2024 fall TV lineup. Spinoff 9-1-1: Lone Star will remain on Fox. 

Here’s what we know about 9-1-1 season 6 including its UK release date...

What is 9-1-1 season 6 about?

We don’t have a season 6 synopsis from Fox yet but we do know the whole team was reunited after season 5 drama sent shockwaves through Station 118. 

Based on a teaser for the upcoming season, it looks like a blimp crash will put the team to the test this season. 

At its heart, 9-1-1 is about relationships. The show focuses on the team of firefighter/paramedics at Station 118, their close relationship with LAPD and the dispatchers who send them on their calls. That’s just the tip of the iceberg though because this particular group is tied together professionally and personally. Bobby and Athena’s marriage links the firehouse with the police station, while Chimney and Maddie have linked the firehouse and the 9-1-1 call center with their on-again, off-again relationship that has morphed into a very close friendship. 

What fans love about 9-1-1 is that the stakes are always incredibly high. From earthquakes to tsunami, the show features some of the most unique and creatively dire situations to ever hit the city of Los Angeles and the people that live there. The over-the-top rescues add to the tension, but it’s the close personal relationships that make us want to watch.  

Is there a trailer for 9-1-1 season 6?

There's no question that the danger is falling from the skies this season as the newest promo features a blimp having an emergency landing at a crowded stadium, prompting panic from the crowd. 

We also see a panicked Athena calling Bobby's name...which is never a good thing....
