9-1-1 Returns for Season 10 With an Earthquake-Level Emergency

9-1-1 returns to ABC on 15 October at 8 p.m. ET/PT for Season 10, opening with an episode titled “That Sinking Feeling.” Deadline

ABC lists the hour as Season 10, episode one and schedules it for 8:00-9:00 p.m. EDT. The slot gives viewers a double bill of emergency drama, with new spin-off 9-1-1: Nashville following at 9 p.m.

The premiere centres on an earth-shattering emergency that shakes Los Angeles to its core, according to ABC’s logline. Disney describes the season as a run of new calls for the 118 where every decision could mean the difference between life and death.

Athena is still finding her footing in a detective role and leans on instinct to crack a mysterious new case. May, meanwhile, looks for confidence in a new job.

The ensemble is led by Angela Bassett as Athena Grant, Jennifer Love Hewitt as Maddie Han, Oliver Stark as Evan “Buck” Buckley, Kenneth Choi as Howie “Chimney” Han and Aisha Hinds as Henrietta “Hen” Wilson. The cast also includes Ryan Guzman as Eddie Diaz, Gavin McHugh as Christopher Diaz, Corinne Massiah as May Grant and Elijah M. Cooper as Harry Grant, all fan favourites from the core programme.

The series was created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear and is produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television and Brad Falchuk Teley-Vision. Minear serves as showrunner, meaning the executive in charge of day-to-day creative decisions.

9-1-1: Nashville, described by ABC as a high-octane procedural about heroic first responders, meaning each episode follows emergency calls from start to finish, premieres the same night at 9 p.m. ABC ABC has released an official trailer for the new season of 9-1-1. Episodes of both the flagship series and Nashville will stream on Hulu. ABC

For viewers, this means one night covers both coasts. Los Angeles opens the evening at 8. Nashville takes over at 9.
