9-1-1 received off to an exciting begin with its transfer to ABC with a three-part premiere occasion that went full Poseidon Journey to fairly actually sink Bobby and Athena’s honeymoon plans. Now, the present is heading in direction of its milestone one centesimal episode within the 2024 TV schedule, which will even contain a crossover with one other iconic present: The Bachelor. Oliver Stark, who performs Buck on 9-1-1, spoke with CinemaBlend about crossing over.
The transfer to ABC after being cancelled by Fox signifies that 9-1-1 can now exist in a shared universe together with exhibits different than simply 9-1-1: Lone Star, as was the case on the unique community. With the Bachelor crossover approaching, I requested the actor if he enjoys the slew of recent potentialities for enlargement. After describing the one centesimal episode as “intimate,” he shared:
Completely. I at all times love crossovers. I simply like to see characters from these completely different worlds, no matter it might be, be part of up in a single. I at all times suppose that is a enjoyable expertise as an viewers member, so yeah, by shifting over to ABC, clearly that does open us as much as a bunch extra doable crossovers. They’ve loads of first responder exhibits over right here. I can see loads of potential for extra of that going ahead, which is at all times good. I just like the assembly of casts, each on display and off display. It is at all times a enjoyable dynamic.
Contemplating that ABC does produce other high-profile first responder exhibits like Station 19 and Gray’s Anatomy, I am unsure I’d have predicted The Bachelor as the primary present on the record to tie into the 9-1-1 universe! Then once more, with the Bachelor mansion positioned (I assume) within the jurisdiction of the 118, what may very well be extra pure? Maybe this may very well be the primary of many. I’d have beloved to see Buck’s response to The Golden Bachelor, and ABC hasn’t dominated out a second season for its latest installment in Bachelor Nation.
For now, followers can sit up for one thing that nearly actually by no means may have occurred on Fox: The Bachelor host Jesse Palmer (seen under with Peter Krause and Oliver stark) and Season 28 main man Joey Graziadei.
Whereas it stays to be seen if The Bachelor is the primary of a number of crossovers between 9-1-1 and different ABC properties, the Buck actor is clearly optimistic. And who is aware of? Perhaps future crossovers may very well be behind-the-scenes of different scripted exhibits, with the 118 arriving to help with an on-set disaster.
I famous to Oliver Stark in our interview that it is a entire new period of 9-1-1 with the arrival on ABC, and he addressed the transfer to a brand new community:
The day after day does not actually really feel any completely different, which is sweet, as a result of it looks like we’re simply going again to the identical outdated factor that we have been doing and are very settled in. However the primary distinction, I feel, is that ABC are actually excited seemingly to have it, so that’s good, from our viewpoint, to really feel that pleasure. Hear, we at all times had an amazing house on Fox, however it’s, as you say, a brand new period and we actually really feel reinvigorated and refreshed by that and simply excited to maneuver ahead with it.
This new period is stuffed with potentialities, and I for one am excited that the 9-1-1 workforce was capable of make one thing particular occur in time for the one centesimal episode. Showrunner Tim Minear credited Jennifer Love Hewitt for making the Bachelor occasion occur since she’s an enormous fan of the present. That makes it solely becoming that the promo for the episode exhibits that Maddie is clearly an enormous fan of The Bachelor as properly, together with Josh and Chim. Have a look:
In keeping with the episode description from ABC, the episode – referred to as “Buck Bothered and Bewildered” – will even characteristic Harry discovering himself in hassle with the regulation after his mother’s return from the cruise disaster and Buck feeling some jealousy when Eddie bonds with someone else. Then, in fact, is a girl who glued herself to the driveway of the Bachelor mansion!
Tune in to ABC on Thursday, April 4 at 8 p.m. ET for the one centesimal episode of 9-1-1 that additionally occurs to characteristic a crossover with The Bachelor. You may as well revisit earlier episodes of the hit sequence streaming with a Hulu subscription.
