Bobby's Death Risks Jeopardizing 9-1-1's Future Despite ABC Already Renewing It For Season 9

9-1-1's daring decision to kill off its main character was epoch-making, but it could backfire on the long-running procedural’s upcoming season 9. Peter Krause has led 9-1-1 as Captain Bobby Nash since the first-responder drama’s pilot episode, which makes the character’s sudden death all the more heartbreaking. Along with his dedicated LAFD station 118 crew— Evan “Buck” Buckley (Oliver Stark), Henrietta “Hen” Wilson (Aisha Hinds), Howard “Chimney” Han (Kenneth Choi), and Ravi Panikkar (Anirudh Pisharody)— Captain Nash has responded to9-1-1’s most intense disasters for years. Sadly, the tenured fire captain suddenly died in 9-1-1 season 8, episode 15.
