The 118 is on the move. Even though the sixth and current season of 9-1-1 will be it’s last on Fox, the procedural has been renewed for Season 7 on a new network — ABC!
9-1-1 has a 1.0 demo rating (with Live+7 playback) and an average of 7.3 million total viewers thus far this season, which are not only sufficient for No. 1 among all Fox dramas, however that would likewise qualify as the most-watched and top-rated entertainment program on ABC this TV season.
“Thanks to the creative drive of Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, as well as the talented cast, 9-1-1 has been one of the most defining and original dramas on network television over the last six seasons and we are honored to bring it to the esteemed group of series on ABC,” Disney Television Group president Craig Erwich says in a statement. “It’s a privilege to keep 9-1-1 in the family with 20th Television producing, and we look forward to telling more heart-racing and uplifting stories about these beloved characters on our air.”
“It has been an honor to be the founding network of 9-1-1 and we are grateful to Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, together with Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Oliver Stark, Aisha Hinds, Kenneth Choi, Ryan Guzman and the rest of the cast and crew, and 20th Television for delivering such an impactful series to Fox,” Fox adds in a statement. “We wish them well after 9-1-1’s final Fox season concludes.”
In the meantime, 9-1-1: Lone Star has been renewed for a fifth season, but unlike its parent series, it will continue on Fox.
9-1-1 stars Bassett as LAPD patrol sergeant Athena Grant-Nash, Krause as LAFD Station 118 captain Bobby Nash, Stark as firefighter Evan “Buck” Buckley, Hinds as firefighter/paramedic Henrietta “Hen” Wilson, Choi as firefighter/paramedic Howie “Chimney” Han, Hewitt as 9-1-1 operator Maddie Buckley, Guzman as firefighter/paramedic Eddie Diaz, Corinne Massiah as May Grant, Marcanthonee Jon Reis as Harry Grant and Gavin McHugh as Christopher Diaz.
