In a first-look preview clip unique to EW (above), bins carrying the bees are seen tipping over in a truck accident and 911 name heart dispatcher Josh (Bryan Safi) tells Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) that there are sufficient of the bugs on the unfastened to kill 44 thousand folks. (A beforehand launched season 8 teaser said that “the typical individual can not survive 500 bee stings.”)

Within the clip, set to Phil Collins’ “Within the Air Tonight,” a newly mustached Eddie (Ryan Guzman) asks his fellow 118 firehouse firefighters Buck (Oliver Stark), Chimney (Kenneth Choi), and Hen (Aisha Hinds) in the event that they suppose the bees will “simply fly away.” “Not Probably,” Hen replies.

“It is a bee-nado,” Buck surmises because the swarm swirls and assaults.
