First Responders Live Gets Extended Run

First Responders Live, produced by Wolf Entertainment and 44 Blue Productions, a Red Arrow Studios company, has been picked up for an additional six episodes and has moved to a new night on FOX in the U.S.

The show will now air on the network on Tuesday nights, beginning August 6 at 9 p.m. Hosted by Emmy Award-winning television journalist Josh Elliott, the series provides a raw, in-depth look at the lives of firefighters, police officers, EMS technicians and first responders, who put their own lives on the line as they race into danger to save others.

Each week, the show embeds cameras in multiple cities across the country to document a night in the life of these units. Elliott provides live analysis and commentary, with help from a team of experts, as the show follows first-person accounts of the action.

Elliott has previously served as the news anchor for Good Morning America and a sports anchor for NBC Sports and Today, and was a co-anchor for the live telecast of the morning edition of SportsCenter. In 2005, Elliott received an Emmy for writing and contributing to Angels. Most recently, he hosted this past summer’s four-night special Yellowstone Live for National Geographic.

Dick Wolf, Rasha Drachkovitch and Tom Thayer serve as executive producers on the series.
