The comedy series Reno 911! has been greenlit for a seventh season by Quibi, with creators and stars Robert Ben Garant, Kerri Kenney-Silver and Thomas Lennon all on board.

Reno 911!, which ran for six seasons on Comedy Central, let viewers ride alongside the men and women of the Reno Sheriff’s Department as they lay down the law and put their lives on the line. The series is produced by Comedy Central Productions. Peter Principato of Artists First will executive produce the series along with Danny DeVito, Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher of Jersey Television.

Lennon said: “Reno 911! holds a special place in our hearts, and it will be a delight to get the original cast back together for ‘re-boot goofin.’ Hopefully Nick Swardson can still roller skate. Quibi’s short format seems custom made for our show.”

Sarah Babineau and Jonas Larsen, Comedy Central’s co-heads of original content, said: “We are very excited to partner with Ben, Kerri and Tom, three of the most gifted multi-hyphenates in comedy, to bring more of their iconic series Reno 911! to the world. Fans demanded this for a long time and Comedy Central Productions and Quibi are thrilled to help answer that kind of 911 call.”

Quibi’s Doug Herzog added: “I couldn’t say it better than Sarah and Jonas, and I for one will sleep soundly knowing Reno 911! is back on the beat keeping our streets safe once again.”
