‘9-1-1’ Returns and Jennifer Love Hewitt is removed by a serial killer (exclusive)

9-1-1 Coming back with a big blow.

After a three-month hiatus, the Los Angeles Fire Department’s station 118 is back for more on Thursday March 6 and things more personal than ever.

In people’s exclusive trailer for the section, Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) takes a 9-1-1 call for a woman who seems to have been abducted, but what looks like a hostage at first glance is rapidly developing into something much worse.

“Something doesn’t match this,” Athena (Angela Basett) saying, and her husband Bobby Nash (Peter Krause) agree. “Almost nothing is right about it,” he says.

Athena then realizes that the man they thought had abducted a woman is actually “a fucking serial killer.”

The revelation leaves Howie (Kenneth Choi) concerned for his wife’s security. “I’m not leaving your site while there is a fucking serial killer with a nag that is still on it,” he tells Maddie.

“He will not come after me with every police officer in Southern California on the tail,” insists Maddie – but then that’s exactly what happens.

With one of their own taken from them, the firefighters at the station 118 and LAPD are all hands on deck to find Maddie before it’s too late.

According to the section’s log line, while Maddie “takes a 9-1-1 call that puts her in search of answers,” 118 has another crisis on their hands when it “responds to a fire on a local animal welfare and rages to evacuate all animals.”

Given that Maddie and Howie, better known as “chimney”, are newlyweds. They finally tied in season 7 After several years of structure and a surprise proposal in Season 6 – her abduction will be all the more dramatic for the team.

Last season said Hewitt, 46, in People’s exclusive video behind the scenes from filming the wedding To see Maddie and Chimney’s Love Story Evolve have been “amazing.”

“My very first day of work, Tim (Minar, an executive producer) was like: ‘What do you want to do at 9-1-1 Like Maddie? “I said,” I want Maddie to fall in love with the chimney. ” And he was like, ‘Why? You just met. “I was like,” It’s just something with him that feels right for her and I think it would be really good. And we have to do it! ”

She continued with her cost, “(Choi is) who really one of my favorite people on earth and we just love Maddie and Chimney so much together. And the audience really responded to it and when it happens it is just like magical.”

“It has been a long time,” Hewitt said about her character’s wedding. “I think it feels more so to the audience than for us. I think they have been waiting a long time, but I’m excited. It’s really good.”
