Season 9 of ABC’s “9-1-1-” is reporting for duty with a whole new season of action and drama that’s out of this world — kind of literally.
That’s because Athena Grant (Angela Bassett) and Henrietta Wilson (Aisha Hinds) are actually going to space for real. When Henrietta helps save CEO Tripp Hauser after he’s swallowed up by a blue whale, the executive rewards her with a trip to space. While Athena initially rejected the idea, somehow her colleague “talked her into” it.
However, when a shady businessman ignores a geomagnetic storm heading to planet Earth and moves forward with the space launch anyway, it could mean the end of all life as they know it.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch.

The show draws from the real lives of first responders who regularly face situations that are often unpredictable, intense and uplifting at the same time.”
