What Season 5 of 9-1-1

The fifth season of 9-1-1 opens with the idea of starting from scratch. Several main characters are absent for much of the season, and the roster of Station 118 undergoes a major change. The incidents are intense: ransomware threats, a blackout that plunges Los Angeles into chaos and a record-breaking heat wave. Athena carries the memory of a traumatic attack while a serial rapist of a real estate agent goes on trial. Maddie goes through postpartum depression that worries her loved ones, and Eddie faces a health problem. All of it mixes with the calls of every shift.
