Is ‘9-1-1’ On Tonight? Here’s When ‘9-1-1’ Returns With New Episodes On ABC

ABC’s hit first responder drama 9-1-1 really just killed off one of its main characters and then left fans hanging for a week.

Not cool, Tim Minear. NOT cool.

Season 8 of 9-1-1 concluded with a nail-biting two-part episode titled 9-1-1: Contagion, where Athena and Buck managed to retrieve the antiviral just in time to save Chimney from the brink of death. The intense moments culminated in a twist where Bobby revealed he had been exposed to the virus and sacrificed himself to save Chimney, leaving fans in tears. The episode ended with an emotional farewell from Bobby, thanking fans and colleagues for the memorable journey.

Following Bobby’s heartbreaking sacrifice, showrunner Tim Minear confirmed Bobby’s death and the reasons behind this decision. Co-stars Angela Bassett and Kenneth Choi expressed their devastation at Bobby’s departure. Despite the emotional rollercoaster, some fans are holding onto hope that Bobby Nash may not be gone for good, leaving room for speculation and anticipation for future episodes.

As viewers eagerly await the return of 9-1-1, they can expect to witness Cap’s funeral and the emotional aftermath of Bobby’s sacrifice on the remaining characters. The burning question remains: Is Bobby truly gone for good? Will the upcoming episodes shed light on Bobby’s fate? For those wondering about the show’s schedule, when it will be back on air, and how to watch Season 8, Episode 16 live, rest assured that all the information you need to stay connected and up-to-date is readily available.
