Angela Bassett as Athena shouting into the phone in 911
9-1-1 star Angela Bassett has responded to rumors about her exiting the series. She has played the 9-1-1 character Athena Grant in every season of the procedural show so far, including the ongoing season 8. The show focuses on multiple groups of first responders, including police officers, firefighters, and paramedics, with Athena being core to multiple storylines as an LAPD patrol sergeant who is married to LAFD captain Bobby Nash .
I'm still excited about Athena and playing her because of the family that we have built, the stories that we tell, the way in which we connect with the community, with the public, with our fans. They see themselves in these people, and they see themselves as a part of our family, so I love that. I think that's just a very special thing, an incredible thing that we've been able to accomplish in the television landscape of things.
Bassett plays the President of the United States in both Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning and Zero Day .
