ABC stepped in to save the show. after FOX passed up renewing because of the high licensing fees. So It’s happening Get ready for 9-1-1 season 7!

Fans were thrilled when news of a seventh season of 911 broke, yet many questions still remained.

Release Date

After six seasons on FOX, 911 will move to ABC for its seventh season. ABC saved the show after FOX passed up renewing it due to licensing fees; ABC is said to have spent considerable money to ensure production by 20th Television continues.

However, moving to a different network will postpone production for this season of 911. Usually shows like 911 begin filming during the summer to prepare for their return in September; however due to ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes that involve Hollywood writers and actors being absent without pay, 911 won’t start filming until both sides reach an agreement with studios and can start shooting.

Though most of the cast has changed networks, most will remain with the series, including Angela Bassett (Athena Grant), Peter Krause (Bobby Nash), Jennifer Love Hewitt (Maddie Buckley), Oliver Stark (Evan Buckley), Kenneth Choi (Chimney Han), Aisha Hinds (Hen Wilson), Ryan Guzman (Cooper), Corrine Massiah (May Grant) and Marcanthonee Jon Reis (Gavin McHugh). While we don’t yet know the details regarding how many episodes will make up this season; given recent WGA/SAG-AFTRA strikes we should expect another shorter season due to limited episodes being made available due to production schedule constraints

Fans must wait until fall 2024 to see if the series picks back up where it left off on Fox, though you can catch previous seasons on Hulu or stream through services such as FuboTV and Sling TV in the meantime.

Airing on a New Network

Fans of Fox’s 9-1-1 will likely be taken aback at news that 9-1-1 won’t return for its seventh season; rather, ABC will take over broadcast duties while its spin-off show Lone Star, recently renewed for five more episodes, will remain on Fox.

Reasons behind 911 not returning for another season this fall include writer and actor strikes, which have resulted in production on the series being suspended until this issue can be resolved.

Athena and Bobby found themselves in a dangerous situation that threatened to endanger both of them, but thanks to the 118, all survived unscathed. Additionally, there was also an epic helicopter rescue and fire that concluded season 6!

Fans can expect many of their beloved characters from 911 season 7 back for another adventure in season 7. Jennifer Love Hewitt stars as Maddie, Kenneth Choi is Chimney Han, Rockmond Dunbar plays Michael Grant and Angela Bassett is Sergeant Athena Grant-Nash. Unfortunately it is unknown exactly how many episodes the new season will contain; most seasons usually feature 18 episodes; due to production delays caused by WGA/SAG-AFTRA strikes this one may feature only 10-13 episodes instead.

Production Delays

Now that 911 has survived cancellation and found a new home, fans are eager to know when its return will occur. Unfortunately, production for season 7 will likely be delayed by the Writers Guild of America strike; both writers and actors involved with it have likely had production delayed; likely pushing its airing date from fall 2023 back until spring 2024.

No major cast changes are anticipated despite the show switching networks. Angela Bassett (Athena Grant), Peter Krause (Bobby Nash), Jennifer Love Hewitt (Maddie Buckley), Oliver Stark (Evan Buckley), Kenneth Choi (Chimney Han), Ryan Guzman (Eddie Diaz) and Corrine Massiah (May Grant) remain as lead characters on the show.

All these stars still have at least one year remaining on their contracts, making it unlikely that they’ll leave the series anytime soon. Additionally, ABC recently granted 118 producers permission to produce more seasons, meaning the cast should return next year. Stark recently spoke with Variety about ABC’s move as not being surprising and hinted that there may even be cross-over with another LA-based ABC series in future seasons of 118.

Who Will Be in Season 7?

After six seasons on FOX, 9-1-1 will make its move to ABC for its seventh season due to FOX not paying licensing fees for it, prompting 20th Century Fox to relocate it so as to keep the series airing on ABC and not risk losing viewers altogether.

Though many fans were dismayed to hear this news, it should be kept in perspective that this isn’t the first time a broadcast show has been saved from cancellation by switching networks; Magnum P.I. made such an adaptation back in 2016.

Noteworthy is the fact that moving from FOX to ABC won’t preclude 9-1-1: Lone Star from continuing its cross-over episodes; however, due to both writers’ and actors’ strikes preventing production from beginning we may not see any until after these issues have been addressed.

Who Will Return in Season 7 of 911? A majority of the original cast will likely return for season seven: Angela Bassett as Athena Grant, Peter Krause as Bobby Nash, Jennifer Love Hewitt as Maddie Buckley dispatcher; Oliver Stark (Firefighter Evan Buckley); Aisha Hinds as Henrietta Wilson; Kenneth Choi as firefighter Howard Han; Ryan Guzman as firefighter Edmundo Diaz and Corrine Massiah (9-1-1 operator May Grant).
