911 Finally Gets Its ABC Premiere Date, Fans Are Relieved
Now season 7 suddenly feels way more real.
Summary:
- 911 is a procedural drama TV series that was originated by Fox but moved to ABC in May 2023.
- WGA and SAG AFTRA strikes have put the show in a vulnerable position with no new season dates announced on ABC.
- However, the new schedule features 911 among other ABC shows set to premiere on March 14, 2024.
911 has never been an outlier among FOX's other shows, including procedurals. With a very active fanbase, the show has always been known for its quality, which is why the news of its cancellation and sudden move to another platform, first announced in May 2023, hit viewers even harder.
No one could really predict what this would mean for 911 in the future, looking at the pile of ABC originals. There was only hope that the show would suffer a similar fate to Grey's Anatomy, but there was nothing to indicate the network's intentions. In fact, there still isn't. For all we know, season 7 could very well be 911's last.
What no one could have predicted was the start of the WGA and SAG AFTRA strikes that lasted all summer and into the fall. It definitely made fans look at the situation from a different perspective. Instead of worrying about how many seasons 911 would have in the future, they were left to guess if it would be canceled altogether.
It's only now that ABC has finally set its schedule for 2024 that fans can breathe a sigh of relief.
911 Season 7 Release Date On ABC
Make sure you mark the date, because you will not want to miss it. 911 will return to your lives in the early spring of 2024. The first episode of season 7 will be released on March 14, 2024, followed by the premiere of the 20th anniversary season of Grey's Anatomy.
This placement in the schedule may be the best idea to increase the popularity of the show among viewers. Being in such close proximity to one of the network's biggest ongoing staples would ensure that the audience is aware of the new show, and all the fans of procedurals are sure to watch it.
911 and Grey's Anatomy aren't the only shows making a comeback in February and early March. Other titles you can expect to see include (but are not limited to) Abbott Elementary, Station 19, and The Good Doctor.
Looking at the network's new schedule, it's safe to say that most of the fan favorites will be back in no time. However, ABC has also left space in the schedule for later announcements, so be sure to keep an eye out and not miss a single new thing.
