9-1-1 Sets Two-Part ‘Contagion’ Event: The 118 Faces Deadly Viral Outbreak in First Promo
During a recent interview with TVLine, 9-1-1 showrunner Tim Minear teased a “very intense two-parter coming up a little bit before the end of the season.” Friends, the two-parter has arrived — and “very intense” is actually an understatement.
ABC has released an explosive promo for 9-1-1: Contagion, which begins next Thursday, April 10 (8/7c) and concludes the following week. In the first look, which you can watch above, the 118 responds to a call from a lab specializing in — wait for it — lethal and exotic viruses. It’s a real no-one-is-safe situation.
This two-parter comes on the heels of Thursday’s episode, in which Eddie finally made things right with Christopher. “I’ve always been your dad,” Eddie told him. “Now I’m going to start acting like it.” It was a sweet moment in an otherwise complicated storyline, and I have a lot of thoughts about it.
In other 9-1-1 news, the show has officially been renewed for Season 9. ABC made the big announcement on April 3, along with renewals for Grey’s Anatomy (Season 22), The Rookie (Season 8), Shifting Gears (Season 2) and Will Trent (Season 4). The network had already renewed Abbott Elementary (Season 5) and High Potential (Season 2), while the future of Doctor Odyssey remains uncertain.

I mean we all witnessed the BTS stuff that was filmed last weekend so i’m really intrigued how we are going to get there and IF it’s true, because i highly doubt that what they filmed lst weekend becomes a reality but please Tim don’t come up with something even more stupid than the Kim storyline. That was really awful and we (and Chris snd Eddie) still suffer from it.
