9-1-1 Plot and Cast
Although the plot details for 9-1-1 Season 6 remains unknown, executive producer Kristen Reidel recently revealed what the fans can expect in the new season. In an official statement, Reidel said,
“For season six we want to go back to basics, which is a little of what we did in the back half of season five. We want to have more fun with the characters – we didn’t get to really do that this year. Also, I think I’d like to see us mixing it up and not always having Hen and Chimney together, let’s do some stories with Chimney and Eddie! That’s the hope for next season to just mix it up, and have fun with our people.”
Kristen also spoke about the challenges of trying to run several storylines with nine main characters. She stated that she tried to give equal screen space to all the stars but it never went well. She said,
“The thing we try to do is keep the eye on the big picture. A lot of times we do a story with one character that will lend itself to another story with that character in the next episode, so we do try and do two or three episodes focusing on one character, then allow another to have their moment. It’s a constant juggling act because we love them all and the challenge is [we only have] 43 minutes.”
Coming to the cast, a few cast members from the previous season would reprise their roles along with some new characters. This includes Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, Oliver Stark. Aisha Hinds and Kenneth Choi.
