9-1-1‘s highly-anticipated Season 7 is setting sail on a new network with a new major jaw-dropping disaster fans won’t want to miss.
Season 7, Episode 1, “Abandon ‘Ships,” follows Athena (Angela Bassett) and Bobby (Peter Krause) as they try — and spectacularly fail — to relax on a romantic honeymoon cruise. Why? Well, their vacation comes to a chaotic conclusion when armed pirates climb aboard, threatening the safety of all passengers.
What unfolds over the course of 9-1-1‘s first three episodes is described as The Poseidon Adventure meets Titanic meets…Bathena, of course. As the 118 holds down the fort back home, one of 9-1-1‘s most iconic couples navigates a series of unprecedented life-or-death challenges and puts their marriage to the test.
