More good news for fans of 9-1-1 have no fear in losing out on the future episodes. Unlike other big network shows, the switchboard drama managed to complete all of its current season episodes before studios shut down due to the coronavirus. This means that the current season will end with Episode 18, which is sure to feature a big cliffhanger that leads into the officially commissioned Season 4. Though the virus outbreak did not affect 9-1-1‘s current season, it is likely to read to a delay in its Season 4 release date. The previous two seasons have both aired on September 23 on two consecutive years. As such, if 9-1-1 keeps its current time slot, then we might expect Season 4 to begin on Monday, September 23, 2021.
