ABC hasa premiere datefor the much-anticipated9-1-1Season 8. The series moved to the network in Season 7 and proved to be a winner in both ratings and viewership. The short season began with the customary multi-episode arc as Bobby (Peter Krause) and Athena (Angela Bassett) were trapped inside a sinking ship.9-1-1has seen several exhilarating major emergencies, and the teaser for Season 8 promises another buzzy ride.
The date announcement video begins with the familiar siren and the9-1-1series logo before the siren changes to the sound of buzzing bees. Soon after, the logo changes to the premiere date as a swarm of bees buzz from one end of the screen to another. The bees reveal teases the opening arc usually found in promotion material. The arc typically unfolds over three or so episodes and involves major characters. This will not be the first time a bee emergency has been featured in the story. Hen (Aisha Hinds) and Chimney (Kenneth Choi) responded to an emergency in Season 6 that involved bees, but no main character was a victim. It is unclear as of now who the bees might be after.
