Summary
- "9-1-1 season 8 has entertaining and surprising cases that keep fans hooked."
- "Episode 15, 'Lab Rats', airs on April 17th, with character growth and humor."
- "Renewed for season 9, the show balances action with personal problems."
9-1-1 season 8 proves why the Ryan Murphy-created series is such a hit for ABC as the first responders of Station 118 in Los Angeles solve wild cases in every episode. Led by Captain Bobby Nash (Peter Krause), who is a likable and smart leader like Leory Gibbs (Mark Harmon) on NCIS, 9-1-1 has more off-the-wall, surprising cases than other procedurals.
Since the main characters such as Athena Grant (Angela Bassett), Evan "Buck" Buckley (Oliver Stark), and Henrietta "Hen" Wilson (Aisha Hinds) are so clever, perceptive, and great at saving lives, every 9-1-1 episode is an entertaining journey that never falls flat for a single second. The current season definitely doesn't disappoint. Fans want to know where they can watch 9-1-1 season 8, episode 15, which is sure to be as wild and satisfying as the rest of the season.

Talia Bishop is a memorable character on The Rookie, the ABC drama starring Nathan Fillion, and fans want to know why she left.
How To Watch 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 15 "Lab Rats"
9-1-1 season 8, episode 15, "Lab Rats," will air on Thursday April 17th, 2025 at 8 p.m. E.T. On ABC. Every episode of 9-1-1 can be streamed the next day on Hulu. So, fans can stream the episode on Friday April 18th, 2025 on Hulu.
Like the latest episode of The Rookie, 9-1-1's next outing is likely going to feature humor and character growth, and, of course, the main characters are going to be put in danger. 9-1-1 season 8, episode 15, "Lab Rats" is part two of a "Contagion" story arc that began in season 8, episode 14, "Sick Day," which airs on Thursday, April 10th, 2025. The official description for season 8, episode 14 explained:
"The 118 is called to a research lab that has been set on fire and becomes a biohazard."
Just like the police officers on Chicago P.D. Are put in a life-or-death situation in every episode, Bobby Nash and his team are never far from danger on 9-1-1, which is what makes it such a fascinating and entertaining series. Adding a biohazard storyline to 9-1-1 season 8 is a great idea since it ups the stakes and, once again, proves that this group of first responders has no idea what's coming for them every time they show up for work. While the stress of this career can be intense, the characters rarely miss a beat, and it's fun watching them solve mysteries, help people, and put the pieces of trickier cases together.
So far on 9-1-1 season 8, Bobby, Athena Grant, Chimney (Kenneth Choi), and the other well-written characters have faced a bee-nado, had to stop a plane from crashing and land it on a highway, and a woman keeping a tiger in her apartment. Fans watch the popular Ryan Murphy series for these out-there moments, but also for the impressive character development. As the 118 team saves lives and helps people get out of dangerous situations, they're dealing with problems in their own lives.
One of the biggest themes in 9-1-1 season 8 has been the ups and downs of family life. For example, a serial killer abducts Chimney's wife Maddie Han, played by I Know What You Did Love Summer star Jennifer Love Hewitt, in 9-1-1 season 8, episode 10. Eddie Diaz (Ryan Guzman) has also struggled with his son Christopher's (Gavin McHugh) decision to live with his grandparents. While 9-1-1 season 8, episodes 14 and 15 will feature plenty of action as the team saves themselves and others from a biohazard, their personal problems will likely take center stage, too.
Will There Be A 9-1-1 Season 9?
On April 3rd, 2025, Deadline reported that ABC renewed 9-1-1 for season 9. There will be 18 episodes in season 9, which is great news for fans who can't get enough of the smart, quirky, and sometimes dark procedural. ABC also renewed The Rookie for season 8, and the next episode of the Nathan Fillion series will air two days before 9-1-1's latest outing.
While viewers aren't sure how 9-1-1 season 8 will end, season 7 ended with the shocking news that Vincent Gerard would be the new captain, and the current season will likely feature the kind of big twist that fans are used to seeing on a Ryan Murphy series. Although 9-1-1 is less scary and more realistic and grounded than Murphy's anthology series American Horror Story, it has just as many surprising moments. The 9-1-1 season 8 finale will no doubt deliver an unexpected and perfectly crafted ending that will make it hard to wait for season 9.
