9-1-1 confirms the return of May and Harry Grant for Season 9 

According to recent news from ABC, the network has officially confirmed the return of May Grant and Harry in 9-1-1. May is played by Corinne Massiah, and Harry Grant, portrayed by Elijah M. Cooper and Marcanthonee Jon Reis (Seasons 1–5), are set to return in Season 9. The official ABC TikTok platform posted a behind-the-scenes production video confirming the return of the two fan-favorite characters. Marcanthonee Jon Reis will be playing the role again in Season 9 this time.

Season 9 of 9-1-1 is premiering on October 9, 2025, on ABC, with its episodes releasing every Thursday at 8 PM Eastern Time. Both May and Harry, who have had limited appearances in recent seasons, will be returning with an even deeper emotional layer as Athena processes Bobby’s death. This also suggests that Season 9 is going to be more family-focused, centering around grief, legacy, and resilience.

The social media post features both actors posing together on set, holding a placard that reads “First Day of Production.” This image confirmed that Marcanthonee Jon Reis is reprising his role as Harry. Their return suggests Athena’s family will take a more central role in Season 9, following the devastating loss of Bobby Nash in the Season 8 finale.

Harry Grant’s role in the earlier seasons was played by Marcanthonee Jon Reis, while in later seasons the role was played by Elijah. This time again, as mentioned, Reis will be taking up the role. Season 8 ends showcasing the death of Bobby Nash, a major show character, suggesting that Season 9 will deal with the aftermath of his death.

May made a cameo at Bobby’s funeral in the Season 8 finale. Since then, fans have been hoping for May and Harry’s return. The dynamics around Athena and Hen are expected to deepen with the 118 team coping with Bobby’s loss.

Why Harry and May's return is significant for the 9-1-1?

Trending

May Grant’s character is significant in the show as she once worked at the 9-1-1 call center and has been portrayed as mature and observant. She has an idea of what her mother hides behind the badge and uniform of her professional job. Therefore, her character would definitely add depth to the emotional development and coping mechanism of Athena, offering a generational contrast.

On the other hand, Harry, who has not been a part of the show since Season 6, besides his brief appearance at the funeral, is expected to bring some unresolved dynamics—especially around his own trauma from earlier seasons of 9-1-1.
