911 season 9 premieres this fall (but there are some things you need to know)

911 returns to ABC later this year for its ninth season and there are some things we need to talk about. We have made it to the end of another season of 911. The Ryan Murphy-produced first responder drama has wrapped its eighth season (and second on ABC) and it's safe to say that it's been one of the most emotional of the show's whole run. Seriously, who would have thought that a show could continue to surprise you like this eight seasons in.
911 stars offer disappointing 'Buddie' season 9 update: 'Right now it stands as it is'

Is there hope for Buck and Eddie to become more than friends in 911 season 9? Stars Oliver Stark and Ryan Guzman share their thoughts. You don't have to be a 911 fan to know that Buck and Eddie - or "Buddie" - is one of the most popular pairings on all of television. That's pretty impressive since they aren't actually together (yet), and that minor detail hasn't stopped fans from "shipping" the two firefighters since they first crossed paths in the show back in season 2.

Although the death of Bobby Nash in 911 created a lot of upset among the show's core fanbase, the ABC boss has offered up praise for the way that it captivated the audience. The death of Bobby Nash on 911 is easily one of the most devastating TV moments of the year. Heck, it's probably one of the most devastating of the past decade.
CBS's Blue Bloods spinoff adds Walking Dead star in major role

3 weeks ago | geeksided.com | Michael Patterson

Boston Blue has added a sci-fi legend to its line-up - one who knows a thing or two about iconic TV franchises. The idea of a TV calendar without Blue Bloods still feels a little odd. The classic police procedural had been on the air since 2010 so its conclusion last December (after 14 seasons and 293 episodes!) is still taking a bit of getting used to, especially for loyal viewers who stuck around for the whole run.
9-1-1: Nashville is ABC's only brand new show coming next season: Watch the teaser trailer

3 weeks ago | geeksided.com | Michael Patterson

ABC has unveiled the first trailer for 911: Nashville and it confirms what all 911 fans were hoping. It's time for a new team of firefighters to heat things up on ABC. The broadcast network is officially expanding its 911 universe through the creation of new spinoff 911: Nashville and it has now confirmed when we can tune into it. Better yet, it will be paired with its parent series, meaning that we will get double 911 on ABC going forward.
FOX boss gives disappointing update on why Rescue HI-Surf was canceled

3 weeks ago | geeksided.com | Michael Patterson

We now know why FOX's Rescue HI-Surf season 2 won't be happening. As renewal and cancellation season rolls on for the television industry, one of the most high-profile cancellations (but perhaps not that surprising) was Rescue HI-Surf. The show was one of FOX's big new additions to the schedule in 2024 and it looked poised to become a staple of the network's procedural content, but it didn't quite take off in the way that they had hoped.
The Equalizer season 6 would have featured a major moment fans had been waiting years for

3 weeks ago | geeksided.com | Michael Patterson

A sixth season of The Equalizer would have finally given the viewers what they wanted. Unfortunately, CBS cancelled the show before that could happen. TV viewers are mourning the loss of The Equalizer. The well-established procedural starring Queen Latifah was abruptly cancelled by CBS after five seasons in what was undoubtedly one of the biggest headlines throughout the renewal/cancellation season.
911 star encourages fans to ‘keep hope alive’ for Bobby’s return in season 9

3 weeks ago | geeksided.com | Michael Patterson

Although Captain Bobby Nash died in ABC's 911 just a few weeks ago, one star is telling fans to remain hopeful that he'll be back at some point. The 911 fans still haven't recovered from the death of Bobby Nash and they probably never will. The beloved fire captain of the 118 was, in many ways, the main character on the show as everything that happened on it essentially took place through his eyes. He was the heart and soul of 911 and it's hard to imagine a show like this even existing without him.
911 fans devastated as ABC show makes ‘biggest ever mistake’

4 weeks ago | geeksided.com | Michael Patterson

It's the end of an era for 911 and fans are understandably very upset about it. ABC's 911 is known for throwing its fans through a loop. Since the beginning of its run (back in its Fox days), the procedural series has tackled some of the most outlandish storylines you'll see in all of television and that's what makes it among the most memorable shows right now. For better or worse, 911 (and any show set in that shared universe) is known for taking big swings.
