It’s September, which means 9-1-1 will officially be back on the 2025 TV schedule next month, and fans will have to face the inevitable sooner or later. While a new season of the first responder drama brings the 118 back on screen, the firehouse will be down a man following Bobby’s surprising death earlier this year. Although Angela Bassett has responded to fans hoping that Peter Krause’s beloved character makes a comeback, the show still has yet to address who will permanently be taking his place as captain of the 118, which is exactly what the show’s boss is teasing now.
Gerard acted as captain both when Bobby was no longer working at the station at the beginning of Season 8 and at the end, in the aftermath of Bobby’s death. But due to his commitment to the series Hotshots, he had to leave. We also found out that Hen decided not to put her name out there for captain, even though she would have been the most likely choice, noting that it didn’t feel right. Chimney, meanwhile, stepped up as acting captain and even had a very fitting speech about staying together and doing what’s right, but we still don’t know who is going to be the permanent captain.
