Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, 9-1-1 is an action procedural following the men and women of the Los Angeles Fire Department, specifically the team from Station 118.

Members of the 118 include Bobby Nash (Peter Krause), a recovering alcoholic who lost his first wife and two children in a tragic blaze he inadvertently set himself; Evan “Buck” Buckley (Oliver Stark), a hot-shot rookie who greatly matures over the course of the series; Howie “Chimney” Han (Kenneth Choi), who has a penchant for getting impaled through his head; Henrietta “Hen” Wilson (Aisha Hinds), a lesbian with a growing family of her own; and Eddie Diaz (Ryan Guzman), the single father of a young boy with cerebral palsy.

The 118 is regularly assisted by Athena Grant (Angela Bassett), an LAPD patrol sergeant. Connie Britton also starred in Season 1 as dispatcher Abby Clark, but her character left town ahead of Season 2, paving the way for Jennifer Love Hewitt’s arrival as new dispatcher Maddie Buckley.

9-1-1 aired for six seasons on Fox, before making a surprise jump to ABC for Season 7 in 2024. Famous for its over-the-top emergencies and outrageous “natural” disaster episodes, the 118 has faced off against a tsunami, a mudslide, an earthquake, a zoo escape and even a terrorist attack aboard an exploding cruise ship (in the middle of a hurricane).

New episodes of 9-1-1 air Thursdays at 8/7c on ABC and can be streamed on Hulu the next day. All previous seasons are also currently available to stream on Hulu.
