911 season 8: UK release date and latest news

As a seasoned movie critic with a penchant for disaster movies and a soft spot for gripping procedural dramas, I must say that I am eagerly anticipating the eighth season of 911. The combination of high-stakes emergencies, talented actors like Angela Bassett and Peter Krause, and the inspiration drawn from The Swarm – one of my all-time favorite disaster films – promises a thrilling ride.


In the United States, the hit procedural drama “911” has made its comeback for its eighth season. The initial episodes find the team grappling with an unusual event referred to as a ‘bee-nado’.

This series features Angela Bassett and Peter Krause alongside others, and it’s interesting to note that the beginning of this season draws influence from an unexpected origin – ‘The Swarm’.

Showrunner and co-creator Tim Minear playfully told Entertainment Weekly, “We were aiming to create a bit of excitement.

He mentioned that the idea originated from a discussion with co-creator Ryan Murphy, as he put it: “He was genuinely fond of our Poseidon Adventure storyline from last year, and he asked, ‘What are some other notable 70s disaster movies?’ I suggested The Swarm, to which he enthusiastically replied, ‘Absolutely, make that!’

In addition to the upcoming season, what else should fans be anticipating, and when can UK viewers tune in? Here’s a rundown of everything you need to know about 9-1-1 season 8.
