A major death in 9-1-1 season 8 is revealed via a photo and a video from the set of the ABC procedural. Ever since it survived Fox’s cancellation and moved to ABC, Ryan Murphy’s first responder series has found new life, becoming one of the network’s top-rated shows. Known for its wild storylines and gory tragedies, its main characters know a thing or two about being in danger. Even with Maddie’s 9-1-1 season 8 throat injury, however, major deaths are almost unheard of, but that appears to be changing moving forward. Courtesy of X user @stllakidd are images taken from the set of 9-1-1 season 8, where the cast and crew are filming the funeral for Peter Krause’s Bobby Nash. A video shows the procession is led by Athena, with May and Harry by her side. Meanwhile, the rest of 118 walk behind them. The photo, on the other hand, shows Bobby’s uniform, confirming that it’s him in the casket.
Could Peter Krause’s Bobby Nash Really Be Dying In 9-1-1 Season 8?
Bobby’s Death Comes Out Of NowhereInterestingly, there hasn’t been any indication that Krause is leaving 9-1-1. Aside from being one of the faces of the series, the actor also serves as an executive producer to the project, which means that he also has a hand in how the series is made, besides starring in it. Much of 9-1-1 season 8’s story in 2025 has been focused on the much-clamored romance between Buck and Eddie, even though the pair has been separated by the latter’s decision to move to Texas for his son. Because of this, it’s shocking that sometime in the future, Bobby is dying.
Killing one of its most notable faces in Bobby will definitely be sad, but it would effectively reinforce how truly dangerous the 118’s job is. Due to the nature of their jobs, danger is baked into the stories of the 118. Unlike Chicago Fire’s deaths, however, Murphy has made sure that all of its major characters end up surviving every tragedy that they have faced. After 8 seasons, 9-1-1 has only lost Abby, and even then, Connie Britton was given an exit narrative where she was able to move on from being a dispatcher. Killing one of its most notable faces in Bobby will definitely be sad, but it would effectively reinforce how truly dangerous the 118’s job is.
Our Take On Bobby Nash’s Supposed Funeral In 9-1-1
Could It Be For A Nightmare Sequence?
Like the majority of the 9-1-1 season 8 cast, Bobby has had his fair share of near-death experiences throughout the years. However, it’s difficult to imagine that Murphy and his writers will decide to pull off this heartbreaking twist now that 9-1-1 is arguably at the peak of its popularity. Krause hasn’t given any indication either that he wants out of the series. So, while it’s possible that 9-1-1 will execute this death out of nowhere, there’s also a chance that the filmed scenes are for another nightmare or vision sequence. 9-1-1 has done something like this when Buck was in a coma following a freak accident during a call. Perhaps something similar is happening, and this time, it’s Bobby’s turn at the crossroads of life and death. While ABC has yet to renew 9-1-1 season 9, it’s safe to say that the procedural will return during the 2025-2026 TV cycle. Just the thought of 118 not having Bobby then is far scarier than the show not pulling the trigger on Buck and Eddie’s romance this year.
