‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ ‘9-1-1’ and ‘9-1-1: Nashville’ Move Up Premiere Dates on ABC

ABC is bumping up a few of its fall shows. “Grey’s Anatomy,” “9-1-1” and the new spinoff “9-1-1: Nashville” will now premiere on Thursday, Oct. 9, a week earlier than initially scheduled.

The ninth season of “9-1-1,” the Los Angeles-based procedural drama from Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, will kick off at 8 p.m., immediately followed by the series premiere of “9-1-1: Nashville,” the series’ second spinoff after the Texas-set “Lone Star.” Season 22 of “Grey’s Anatomy” begins at 10 p.m.

“9-1-1: Nashville” stars Chris O’Donnell, Jessica Capshaw, Hailey Kilgore, Michael Provost, Juani Feliz, Hunter McVey, LeAnn Rimes and Kimberly Williams-Paisley. ABC describes the series as “a high-octane procedural about our heroic first responders, as well as their family saga of power and glamour set in one of America’s most diverse and dynamic cities.”

After a devastating Season 8 finale, “9-1-1” returns this fall with the cast Angela Bassett, Oliver Stark, Aisha Hinds, Kenneth Choi, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ryan Guzman and Gavin McHugh.

“Grey’s Anatomy” stars series regulars Ellen Pompeo as Meredith Grey, Chandra Wilson as Miranda Bailey and James Pickens Jr. as Richard Webber. Kevin McKidd also returns as Owen Hunt, Caterina Scorsone as Amelia Shepherd, Camilla Luddington as Jo Wilson and Kim Raver as Teddy Altman.

Other ABC shows rounding out the fall 2025 schedule include unscripted series “The Golden Bachelor,” “Shark Tank,” “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune” and “Dancing With the Stars,” as well as the Kaitlin Olson drama “High Potential” and sitcoms “Shifting Gears” and “Abbott Elementary,” which will premiere its fifth season on Oct. 1.
