Season chronology | |
The ninth season of the American television comedy series The Goldbergs premiered on September 22, 2021.
This is the first season without George Segal as Albert "Pops" Solomon, as Segal died in March 2021. The Pops character appears only in flashbacks in the season's first episode, which is dedicated to the actor.[1]
Season 9 is also the last with Jeff Garlin as Murray. On December 15, 2021, it was announced that Garlin was leaving the show effective immediately due to multiple misconduct allegations and HR investigations.[2] The show was filming the fifteenth episode at the time so from that episode onward, Garlin's character continued to appear on the show portrayed via the use of outtakes, a stand-in, and CGI.[3][4][5]
In January 2022, the season's length was increased from 18 to 22 episodes.[6] In April 2022, the series was renewed for a tenth season, which was later revealed to be its final season in February 2023.[7][8]
Plot
After a proper tribute to Pops, the season focuses on Adam's senior year and high school graduation, Erica and Geoff's wedding, and Barry's ongoing relationship with Joanne. Adam and Dave Kim are accepted to New York University while Brea Bee is accepted to Brown, and sensing a long-distance relationship wouldn't work out, Adam and Brea break up. Beverly buys the house next door, hoping Erica and Geoff will eventually move there, but she ends up renting it out to Glascott instead. While the family is attending Adam's graduation, Erica announces she's pregnant with Beverly's first grandchild.
