We’re exactly three weeks out from 9-1-1‘s Season 8 premiere (Sept. 26, 8/7c), and ABC is keeping the buzz going with another promo that’s sure to sting.
The new teaser, released on the show’s social accounts on Thursday, confirms that a “bee-nado” is attacking Los Angeles in the season premiere. “What a day to live in LA!” a radio announcer says as a swarm of bees descends upon Hollywood.
Hit PLAY on the new promo below:
Barring any future announcements, we can expect the show’s entire roster of series regulars to return for Season 8. Those names include Angela Bassett as Athena, Peter Krause as Bobby, Oliver Stark as Buck, Aisha Hinds as Hen, Kenneth Choi as Chimney, Jennifer Love Hewitt as Maddie, Ryan Guzman as Eddie and Gavin McHugh as Christopher — although you shouldn’t expect to see that last one right away.
“I know for sure that in the first episode [of Season 8], we likely won’t see Eddie and Christopher together,” Ryan Guzman recently revealed to TVLine, following Christopher’s departure in the Season 7 finale. But it’s not like we can blame the poor kid. Who among us can say for sure how we’d react upon discovering that our dad was having an affair with our dead mom’s doppelganger?
Also on the horizon for Season 8 is an unfortunate changing of the guard. The finale revealed Gerrard to be the new captain of the 118, and while it’s a twist that absolutely zero people asked for, Krause is choosing to look at the glass half-full. “I like them butting up against each other,” Krause told TVLine. “I could see Gerrard having a real grudge against Bobby for getting all this positive attention after he took over Gerrard’s firehouse, and now we he wants it back.”
