As already foreshadowed by the end of season 6, which saw Bobby and Athena (finally) go on their honeymoon, the cruise of the two heroes of 9-1-1 on a huge liner will be at the center of the first episodes of the season 7. And what should have been one of the most beautiful moments of the couple’s life will turn into a nightmare when an explosion occurs on board… causing the ship to sink.
“The first minutes of the first episode are completely a tribute to the producer Irwin Allen [connu pour ses films catastrophes, ndlr]”explains to TVLine Tim Minear, the showrunner of 9-1-1, who thus confirms that the main inspiration for this nightmarish cruise is indeed the film The Poseidon Adventure, released in 1972 with Gene Hackman in the lead role.
Spread over the first three episodes of season 7, this disaster plot directly involving Bobby and Athena, who will be more in danger than ever, is described as an arc “huge and exciting” which will also allow American viewers who had not watched 9-1-1 on Fox to easily follow the series, remembering who the different characters are.
