Your favorite fictional L.A. first responders aren’t going anywhere anytime soon: 9-1-1 is returning for season 5.

After watching the season 4 finale, fans were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Millions tuned in to the latest episode to see if Eddie (Ryan Guzman) survived his shot to the chest (thankfully, he did). Meanwhile, Athena (Angela Bassett) came to the rescue by apprehending the sniper gone rogue. Then, fulfilling many viewers' hopes, she and Bobby (Peter Krause) agreed to save their marriage. What’s more, Buck (Oliver Stark) is officially in a relationship and Albert (John Harlan Kim) joined the squad as a firefighter. That said, Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) asked Chimney (Kenneth Choi) for help after feeling like she was “losing [her] mind.”

If you can’t wait to see what happens next, here’s what we know about season 5 of 9-1-1:

When will season 5 of 9-1-1 premiere?

The fifth season of 9-1-1 will start on Monday, September 20 at 8 p.m. ET on Fox. New episodes will continue to air on Monday nights throughout the fall.

Actress Angela Bassett, who plays LAPD Sergeant Athena Grant Nash, celebrated the exciting season 5 renewal news with a tweet of her own: “Today is a great day!”

What will season 5 of 9-1-1 be about?

While we wait to hear more details about season 5 of 9-1-1, showrunner Tim Minear hinted to TVLine that Maddie, portrayed by actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, will still be in a dark place when the show comes back.

“It’s a story that I don’t want to give short shrift to,” Tim told the outlet. “It will end up creating a major complication for season 5.”
