No emergency is too big or too small for Station 118 of 9-1-1 to handle, even a network change.

The firefighter series, originally airing on FOX in 2018, will now be moving to ABC for season 7. Fans can expect the same thrilling and heart-stopping storylines that they love.

Oliver Stark, who plays Evan “Buck” Buckley, mentioned to TVLine after the season 6 finale in May 2023 that he might need to wear a wetsuit soon to rescue Angela Bassett's character.

Stark hinted that Athena (Bassett) and Bobby’s (Peter Krause) cruise ship honeymoon might not be as relaxing as expected. He suggested that there could be some unexpected challenges coming their way, considering their track record of facing tough situations.

The season 7 premiere will show the actor's premonition coming true. The official trailer suggests that it will be a Titanic-sized disaster on the ship.

In the video released on Thursday, February 29, Athena reflects on the whirlwind of life. As images of a sinking ship and explosion are shown, she asks, "When there's a disaster to deal with...who are we?"
