Get ready 9-1-1 fans, because Fox has dropped season five premiere date and it's much sooner than we thought!
9-1-1 will return to screen on 20 September 2021; with a fall release date previously teased, many wondered if it would not hit TVs until October.
The series will air at 8pm, but the spin-off 9-1-1 Lone Star will not return this September, instead premiering in the new year.

9-1-1 follows the lives of Los Angeles first responders, including Captain Bobby Nash, played by Peter Krause and the 118 - Evan Buck Buckley (Oliver Stark), Eddie Diaz, (Ryan Guzman), Hen Wilson (Aisha Hinds) and Howard 'Chimney' Han (Kenneth Choi) - as they respond to emergencies with the help of LAPD patrol sergeant Athena Grant (Angela Bassett), and 911 operator Maddie Buckley (Jennifer Love Hewitt).
