What is the plot of 9-1-1 (TV series)? 

From long-time collaborators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, 9-1-1 is a refreshing variation of the procedural drama genre. Here, stories are structured differently as they follow characters and their relatively separate worlds. 

Because first responders involve police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and, of course, 911 operators, this action drama comprises collective stories of rescues that are as frightening as they are inspiring. All the rescue operations featured in the show are also inspired by real-life stories. 

With people’s lives always at stake during heart-stopping scenarios, 9-1-1 also tackles how the job can take a toll on the personal lives of these emergency responders.

In 9-1-1 Season 7, Athena and Bobby’s honeymoon is interrupted when pirates board the cruise ship they’re on and take everyone hostage.

Just like that, their vacation is put on hold as situation gets worse – the pirates leave a bomb that makes communication impossible, crippling the ship while an incoming hurricane is set to strike.

More than its edge-of-your-seat rescue ops, 9-1-1 also boasts a stellar ensemble that includes Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) and Peter Krause (Parenthood, Six Feet Under)
