When does 911 Season 4 air?
Episode 1 of 911 Season 4, titled “The New Abnormal,” will air on Monday, January 18 from 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT on Fox. The remaining episodes will air weekly at the same time for the duration of the season. Fox has not yet revealed how many episodes the new season will have, but viewers may expect a slightly shorter season—other shows are cutting their current seasons slightly shorter due to the extra time and cost associated with filming during the pandemic.
The official synopsis for the 911 Season 4 premiere reads: “When the Hollywood Reservoir dam breaks, Bobby (Peter Krause) and the 118 race into action to save passengers on a city bus that has crashed into a building several stories in the air. Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) must first locate, and then rescue, a trapped cyclist, and Athena (Angela Bassett) helps an agoraphobic woman evacuate her home.
“Meanwhile, the team adjusts to life as first responders during the pandemic. Bobby worries if Athena is ready for field duty since recovering from her physical and psychological injuries; Chimney (Kenneth Choi) takes extreme precautions around a pregnant Maddie; and May (Corinne Massiah) begins a surprising new job.”
As with previous medical dramas like Grey’s Anatomy and The Good Doctor, the current season will address the impact that COVID-19 has had on first responders—though the showrunner has revealed that the series will not just focus on the pandemic.
“The characters on the screen will have gone through what the audience has gone through,” Tim Minear told TVLine. “There may be flashbacks that will show what our people went through at the height of the [pandemic], but … Maybe our role is to demonstrate through our little fantasy show that life will go on.”
How to watch 911 Season 4 online
Shortly after episodes air, they will be available to watch online on the Fox website, which streams the most recent episodes of the show. To watch these episodes, all viewers have to do is log in with their TV provider details. However, episodes of 911 only appear on the website for a limited time—at the time of publishing, the network has the four most recent episodes.
Fox also offers a live-stream so that viewers can watch episodes of 911 Season 4 as they air on TV online. Viewers can access this by clicking on the “Live TV & Schedule” button on the Fox website.
Another way to watch the episodes is on Hulu, which will get not only Season 4 episodes as they air but also has every episode so far available to stream on demand. Episodes come to Hulu the day after they air on Fox, meaning the first one will be available from Tuesday, January 19.
The streamer offers a 30-day free trial, meaning that viewers have a month to watch episodes of 911 online for free. After that point, the service costs $5.99 a month for its service with commercials or $11.99 without commercials.
911 Season 4 airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT on Fox.
