In the thrilling 911 Season 7 Premiere, viewers are in for a wild ride as the show takes a dramatic turn.
The new trailer for the 911 season 7 premiere opens with a plot featuring a terrifying cruise ship accident. The First Responder procedural’s season 6 concluded in May 2023. It included some substantial plot lines left on major cliffhangers and emotional resolutions, including a daunting tsunami that left viewers on the edge of their seats. 9-1-1 season 7 is slated to premiere on March 14, 2024.
911 Season 7 Premiere
The Shipwreck:
The opening disaster of this season pays homage to the classic 1972 film The Poseidon Adventure. Imagine Bobby Nash and Athena Grant on their belated honeymoon cruise when, suddenly, pirates take control of the ship. Chaos ensues as the vessel is thrown into turmoil, with scenes shot in a giant rotating set—the largest ever constructed for television. Buckle up for a topsy-turvy adventure on the high seas!
This new video does a great job of showing us these heroes. It’s set to a song by David Bowie, perfect for introducing them to people who might not have seen them before. The show has moved to ABC after being on Fox for six seasons. Season 7 will start on Thursday, March 14 at 8/7c, just before Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19, which is in its final season.
In the teaser, we see an explosion on a cruise ship. It looks like the same ship that Bobby and Athena were on at the end of Season 6, and now it’s sinking. We also see the 118 team in the Los Angeles Fire Department helicopter, including Hen. Presumably, Chimney, Buck, and Eddie are with her on their way to rescue them.
At the end of Season 6, Bobby and Athena finally went on their cruise. Bobby said they would call everyone when they got there. We’ll have to wait and see if they did call or if this disaster is the first the others hear about it.
We also don’t know what caused the explosion on the ship. That’s something Bobby and Athena will be good at figuring out. Bobby even joked about it being like an Agatha Christie mystery when he talked to TV Insider in March 2023. It looks like they have their mystery and a big emergency to deal with. And we don’t know yet if Bobby, Athena, or both will need to be rescued!
Not only will season 7 have to pick up some of 9-1-1 season 6’s major plotlines, but it will also do so when the series is experiencing massive changes. Following the series’ sixth season, it was announced that 9-1-1 had been canceled on Fox but would be moving to ABC. The show’s Lone Sta spinoff will stay on Fox for season 5.

There are several reasons behind this shift, one is part of Fox’s ongoing attempts to cut costs following its acquisition by Disney. While this does mean a significant paradigm shift for 9-1-1, as a new network could beget significant changes for the series, this could be good news for the show. Rather than being strained at Fox as the company would continue to pay licensing fees for both series, 9-1-1 might get a more reliable budget on ABC, as the show is still popular and will likely have a successful run on its new network.
The Romances:
Amidst the chaos, love is in the air. Bobby and Athena, despite the dire circumstances, find themselves navigating not only treacherous waters but also their feelings. Will their honeymoon be a disaster or a chance for romance to bloom? Fans can expect heartwarming and heart-wrenching moments as relationships are tested.
The Drama:
As always, the first responders face unimaginable challenges. Angela Bassett’s Athena Grant, a seasoned LAPD field sergeant, has weathered countless calamities over the past six seasons. From tsunamis to earthquakes, she’s seen it all. But this time, they wanted something “big and grand.” Brace yourselves for a gripping storyline that unfolds over the first three episodes.
The Network Shift:
Interestingly, season 7 will air on ABC, marking a transition from Fox. Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox led to this change, and the show’s studio and network are now tied together again. The enthusiasm at ABC is palpable, treating 9-1-1 like a first-year show. Prepare for a fresh start and a homecoming for our favorite first responders.
So, grab your life jackets and tune in to 9-1-1 on ABC, starting March 14 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, right before Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19!
