9-1-1 Renewed by FOX

FOX has given a second season to its new procedural drama 9-1-1, which comes from Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear.

The series premiere of 9-1-1 has grown to more than 15 million viewers in seven-day multiplatform viewing, including its encore, delivering FOX’s largest debut since Empire in 2015 (excluding post-Super Bowl premieres).

The procedural explores the high-pressure experiences of police officers, firefighters and emergency operators. It stars Angela Bassett (American Horror Story, What’s Love Got to Do with It), Peter Krause (The Catch, Six Feet Under) and Connie Britton (Nashville, Friday Night Lights, American Horror Story).

“With a bold concept, award-winning stars and a flawless execution, Ryan, Brad and Tim have done it again,” said Gary Newman and Dana Walden, chairmen and CEOs of Fox Television Group. “They have tapped into the cultural zeitgeist and reimagined the procedural as only they could, bringing it to life with a dream team of actors led by Angela, Peter and Connie. This is storytelling at its best and we’re so pleased that it’s resonated with our audience. We’d like to thank everyone involved with this production for their stellar work, and we look forward to another thrilling season of 9-1-1.”
