9-1-1 was launched on Fox in 2018 and was an immediate hit. So much so that in 2020, Fox added 9-1-1: Lone Star to its lineup.
Both were huge hits. But then, in 2023, Fox canceled the original series, and ABC saved it.
Even though 9-1-1 switched networks, Lone Star stayed put. However, it took last season off because of the strikes. And just before it debuted this week, Fox confirmed that this will be the series’ final season.
Does that mean that 9-1-1 will be the only show left in the franchise next season? If Ryan Murphy has his way, that will not be the case.
“Tim Minear and I are working on a new spinoff that we’re actually writing, and that we hope to get on the air next fall,” Murphy tells Variety. “Sadly, we all love ‘Lone Star,’ but the financials just didn’t work. It’s a Disney company that was on a Fox network, and it just was never going to work. And we had a long run of it. So now we’re going to launch a new show in a new city that I can’t name, but it’s fun. And ‘9-1-1’ moved to ABC and suddenly became, I think, the biggest show on Thursday night. They obviously have an appetite for that, so we’re going to give them another one that I really love.”
What city do you think they are thinking of saving? I would love to see them go to Chicago just to fuck with Dick Wolf and NBC!
