Season 8 of 9-1-1 will kick off with a special three-episode storyline involving a massive swarm of bees, as glimpsed in the show’s recent trailer. Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Tim Minear, the beloved procedural stars Peter Krause as LAFD Station 118 Captain Robert “Bobby” Nash, Angela Bassett as LAPD patrol sergeant Athena Grant, and Oliver Stark as firefighter Evan “Buck” Buckley.
