After making a successful move from Fox to ABC for the fall 2023-2024 TV season, 9-1-1 season 7 took fans on an emotional roller coaster ride that ended with some big questions lingering for Station 118's future. We're looking forward to seeing what happens in 9-1-1 season 8. 

With Station 19 ending in spring 2024, 9-1-1 becomes ABC's premiere firefighter/first responder drama in the network's 2024-2025 TV lineup. 

Here's everything we know about 9-1-1 season 8. 

9-1-1 season 8 release date

9-1-1 season 8 premieres September 26, 2024. The show will air on Thursdays at 8 pm ET/PT on ABC, followed by the new series Doctor Odyssey and Grey's Anatomy season 21. New episodes will be available the next day on Hulu. Previous seasons of 9-1-1 are available on Hulu now. 

ABC is included in most cable packages, but if you’ve cut the cord, then you can watch shows on ABC without cable through a live streaming service like YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV or FuboTV

9-1-1 season 8 premise

We don't have any information about the plot for 9-1-1 season 8, but here's the official series synopsis from ABC:

"Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear reimagine the procedural drama with 9-1-1. The series explores the high-pressure experiences of first responders — including police officers, firefighters and dispatchers — who are thrust into the most frightening, shocking and heart-stopping situations. These emergency responders must try to balance saving those who are at their most vulnerable with solving the problems in their own lives. The show draws from real-life, high-pressure experiences of first responders who regularly face heart-stopping situations that are often unpredictable, intense and uplifting at the same time."
