While 9-1-1 Season 6 continues to air this Tuesday, May 16 from 9.10pm on M6 with episodes 13 and 14, the same sixth season ended last night in the US, marking the end of an era. For the firefighter series, worn by Peter Krause and Angela Bassett.
Indeed, primarily for economic reasons – the series is owned by Disney and not produced by Fox, and each episode costs between 9 and 10 million dollars – the American channel Fox decided to cancel 9-1-1 a few days ago. Yet again this year, the network’s most-watched fiction.
However, do not fear: the adventures of firefighters do not stop at the 118th barracks. With the start of the school year, 9-1-1 is simply changing channels and returning for Season 7… on Disney-owned ABC.
The survival of a canceled series by another channel is nothing new in the soap opera world (one thinks of Buffy more than twenty years ago, which was picked up by UPN after five seasons on the WB, or more recently of Magnum, which moved from CBS to NBC. ). But it is still quite a rare event.
Open page variety So he took advantage of the broadcast of the finale of season 6 and asked Oliver Stark, one of the stars of 9-1-1, about his feelings about this change of channel, which surprised more than one.
“We had official confirmation of all this only on the day of the announcement. We heard the information a few hours before sending the press release, which is not such a big news.”– says Bak’s interpreter. “I don’t think it’s going to change much for us, production-wise. So I don’t feel like we should have given much more advance notice.”.
“It’s been rumored for a while”Oliver Stark continues at Variety’s microphone. “We’ve never heard of this ability to change the channel. But in a way, I find it interesting.”.
“Fox has been a great home for us for six years. But moving to ABC gives us an opportunity to reach new audiences, while possibly reviving the show. I think we’re all grateful to Fox, but we’re also looking forward to it. To see what the future holds for ABC S.”.
As for crossovers between 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star could still happen, now that the main series will be on ABC and the spinoff will remain on Fox for its fifth season. Oliver Stark does. Doesn’t seem very optimistic.
“I don’t know if that’s possible”The actor admits. “I don’t understand all the rights issues with this change. But if it’s possible, I think we’re all for it. It’s always nice to see those worlds meet. And maybe that opens up opportunities for crossovers. Other ABC procedural series. We might find ourselves newbie“.
