It’s always great to see good actors land more roles, and that’s certainly the case with the cast of9-1-1.
Tracie Thoms has played Hen’s wife Karen since the beginning, and she immediately made it clear that she belongs with the main9-1-1cast. Over recent seasons, she has had more storylines,as she offers us a look at the lives of the spouses of first responders who don’t work in the same industry.
Now her role on9-1-1season 9is at risk, but it’s for a great reason. Thoms has landed a role in a major movie, whichcould lead to scheduling conflicts —at least for the start of9-1-1production.

Tracie Thoms Played Lily In The Devil Wears Prada
Many have asked whether Thoms would return forThe Devil Wears Prada 2, which is officially happening 20 years after the original movie. For the longest time, she’s had to lie or change the subject, but now she has finally had the chance to tell the truth.
Lily did stick around at the magazine after the events of the first episode, and she will be there for the sequel.Thoms took to Instagramto share the exciting news aboutThe Devil Wears Prada 2. She even used the hashtag #TheRealVillainsOfTheDevilWearsPrada as a nod to how she played one of the most hated characters in the movie.
Thoms Will Likely Film Both Devil Wears Prada 2 & 9-1-1 Season 9
There May Be Some Early Scheduling Conflicts
While it is exciting news, there are concerns about what this means for Thoms in9-1-1season 9.Karen is an important part of the story, whether it’s to help Hen with some major life decisions or to offer some advice and support to Chimney, Maddie, and Athena.
The good news is that Karen should still be around, but we may not see her at the beginning of the season.The Devil Wears Prada 2has started filming and is expected to remain in production for three months.
Because of that, there will likely be a small clash in schedules as9-1-1season 9 production has also started, but if the two production companies work together, there are ways to make schedules work.
It’s not like she hasn’t filmed two projects at once,as Thoms filmed guest roles onStation 19at the same time as guest roles on9-1-1. The benefit of her being a recurring character is that she doesn’t need to be in every episode, so with hope, we’ll at least see her toward the end of9-1-1season 9.
