By the end of the finale, he has made a decision. He tells the group: “I think I have to make a change. I’m leaving the 118.”
Fans obviously want to know whether the character is leaving, but they have a long time to wait. Fox has announced its January 2022 line-up, and 9-1-1 Season 5 is not part of it. Luckily for fans, the network has also released a trailer for the next episode which reveals when the season will resume—as well as giving viewers a chilling glimpse of the new season of spin-off 9-1-1: Lone Star.
When does 9-1-1 return in 2022?
Fans have a fairly long wait before the show will be back with 9-1-1 season 5, episode 11, with at least 12 weeks before they get to see more from Athena Grant (Angela Bassett) and the rest of the team.
The 9-1-1 season 5, episode 11 promo reveals in voiceover when the show is returning. It says: “9-1-1 will return this March with thrilling new episodes.” The trailer gives a glimpse of some of these thrills. One scene sees cheerleaders about to be run over by some sort of vehicle, while another scene sees a woman accidentally driving her car into a river.
Bobby Nash (Peter Krause) also hints that some big changes are afoot. He tells his team: “I’ve got some announcements to make.”
Exactly when viewers can find out what happens in the rest of season 5 has not been announced. Though Fox has revealed their January 2022 line-up, they have not revealed when things are returning in March.
If 9-1-1 keeps its slot on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT, then the earliest the show will return is the first Monday in March—that is, March 7.
When does 9-1-1: Lone Star return?
Though 9-1-1 Season 5 is a few months away, viewers will soon get more from the show’s universe. In January, 9-1-1: Lone Star will return for its third season. Per a promo, that season has been given the name “The Ice Storm,” with the trailer showing Owen Strand (Rob Lowe) risking his life amid the winter tundra.
9-1-1: Lone Star season 3, episode 1 is set to air on Monday, January 3 at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT on Fox. The network has teased that the two shows will crossover again in 2022, but have not yet revealed exactly when.
While fans wait for new episodes of 9-1-1, they can watch every episode so far on Hulu.
