9-1-1 Season 9 Teased Characters Going To Space, And Fans Have Funny Takes: ‘Going Toe To Toe With Fast And Furious’

With its ninth season arriving in 2025, the TV show *9-1-1* is aiming to deliver another over-the-top premiere. The series has become known for its dramatic season openers since Season 2, starting with disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis, and escalating to last season’s memorable “bee-nado.” Fans were wondering how the show could outdo that, but ABC just revealed a preview of characters heading to space, and the reactions have been hilarious.

ABC released a short preview this week showing characters responding to what looked like meteors heading for Los Angeles, and it quickly became a hit online. Now, the network has shared a longer clip revealing more about the story. It turns out Athena (Angela Bassett) and Hen (Aisha Hinds) are going to space, complete with spacesuits and a rocket! Fans on X (formerly Twitter) have been sharing lots of reactions, and it’s hard to know what’s more surprising: what people are saying, or the fact that this is actually happening in the show.

  • Going toe to toe with Fast and furious for pure ridiculousness -@olatantc
  • When the writers run out of streets, they aim for orbit. -@DaCulturedSwine
  • 9-1-1 is so funny because what business does a Los Angeles cop and firefighter have going to space -@michaelcollado
  • I can’t believe this is real. Okay, 911, sure. Whatever you say! A cop and a firefighter in space. I’m unsure how they’re gonna explain that, but I unfortunately will be finding out why starting October 9. -@mogutweet
  • Is this a doomsday show? I thought this was a low budget first responders drama. -@AJohansen592
  • This is so outrageous and corny!!!!!! I’m here for all of it -@junioroxoa

With the show set in Los Angeles and focusing on realistic emergencies handled by 9-1-1 operators, the writers faced a challenge finding a large-scale event dramatic enough to kick off a new season. It’s amusing that they ultimately chose to move the action into space. Many viewers have also pointed out the similarity to the *Fast & Furious* movies, which took a similarly unexpected turn a few years back.

This recent news is definitely getting people talking about *9-1-1*, even if it’s for unexpected reasons. I’m glad the preview is generating buzz and curiosity about how they’ll handle this space-related emergency. You should take a look!

As a longtime fan of *9-1-1*, I’ve learned to brace myself for anything, but honestly, the show just took things to a whole new level! They’ve tackled some crazy emergencies over the eight seasons, but sending Athena and the 118 *to space*? That’s wild! It’s got me thinking – why isn’t NASA handling this? And why are the LAPD and LAFD suddenly in charge of a space mission? I need to see this episode ASAP to get some answers!

Hulu is offering a 30-day free trial for both its ad-supported and ad-free plans. This gives you access to all of Hulu’s content, including popular shows like *9-1-1* and other ABC hits. After the free month, plans start at $9.99 per month. This deal is available to new and some returning customers. See the deal here.

I’m definitely not expecting any space adventures on *9-1-1* Season 9 – it’s going to be a tough season dealing with Bobby’s death. Everyone’s wondering who will replace him as captain of the 118, and I think it’ll probably be someone we already know. A lot of fans, myself included, are hoping it’s Chimney, especially after that powerful speech he gave at the end of last season. It’s interesting to hear that Kenneth Choi wasn’t sure about it, but Oliver Hinds seems to think Chimney would be a great fit. It’s going to be emotional seeing how they handle this!

Everyone’s wondering who will replace Bobby, but a lot of fans are especially excited to see what happens with Athena and Hen’s trip to space! You can watch the season premiere of *9-1-1* on ABC this Thursday, October 9th, at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. If you miss it, it will be available to stream on Hulu the next day. With all the buzz online already, premiere night is sure to be a lively event with fans sharing their reactions live on social media.
