Angela Bassett as Athena Grant on 9-1-1
9-1-1 will return to screens on 21 March after taking a winter break, and the cast have been back filming the final episodes after COVID outbreaks forced production to halt for numerous TV shows filming in Los Angeles.
But the continuing concerns over the pandemic have forced one major change, as despite plans for a crossover to take place between 9-1-1 and spin-off show Lone Star in 2022 showrunner Tim Minear recently admitted that "the shows are pretty much gonna be living in their own universes this season it seems".
The 9-1-1 crossover between series first happened in 2021 and saw Evan Buckley, Eddie Diaz and Hen Wilson travel to Austin, Texas to help the crew of the 126 fight the wildfires.
The 2nd Annual Critics Choice Super Awards will announce winners on 17 March
