Fox made a surprising move this week by canceling its top-rated series , but ABC came in and saved the day, giving the first responder drama a new home and another season. While there were reports of 9-1-1, it didn’t make the announcement any less shocking. Even though the series is safe, it still surprised fans everywhere.
9-1-1 has spent six seasons on Fox, where it spawned spin-off 9-1-1: Lone Star, which got renewed by the network for a fifth season. Now that they will be separated, it will be a question of what will happen and if any more crossovers could take place. Not only that, but the 118 will be leaving their cushy home for a different network, and even though this isn’t the first series to switch networks, fans are still as bewildered as ever.
