As summer draws to a close, fans of beloved network TV shows can anticipate the return of their favorite series this upcoming fall. This week, ABC officially announced the premiere dates for the new seasons of the scripted shows that will be part of its Fall 2026 lineup, including R.J. Decker, Scrubs, Abbott Elementary, Grey’s Anatomy, 9-1-1, and 9-1-1: Nashville.
9-1-1 will return for Season 10 on Thursday, October 15, a little over five months after the conclusion of its ninth season. Season 9 of the hit procedural marked several significant shifts for the show, transitioning 9-1-1 into a new chapter following Bobby Nash’s (Peter Krause) death in the previous season. Now, as 9-1-1 officially moves into double digits, Season 10 will signify the start of a new era for the series when it premieres this October.
‘9-1-1’ Season 9 Was An Era of Transition for the Extended 118 Family
The central theme of 9-1-1 Season 9 was adapting to change, and by the end of the season, the extended 118 family have all settled in for the beginning of their next chapters. Chimney (Kenneth Choi) is finally comfortable in his role as Captain of the 118 and has learned to balance his new position with his personal relationships. Harry (Elijah M. Cooper) is now officially a member of the 118 and has experienced the typical growing pains associated with being a rookie. Ravi (Anirudh Pisharody) has become increasingly vital to the 118, and Hen (Aisha Hinds) has returned to work after taking time off due to her chronic illness.

< spanclass=”c qa-option-letter“E span >Because I wanted to make a difference — and also, honestly, I didn’t know what else to do with my life.
