9-1-1 is coming to another city, with a new spinoff recently confirmed by co-creator Ryan Murphy. While details about where the next 9-1-1 will take place are still unknown, fans have plenty of ideas about what they’d like to see.
In an October 1 report from Variety, Murphy shared, “[Series co-creator] Tim Minear and I are working on a new spinoff that we’re actually writing and we’re hoping to air next fall.”
He continued, “Sadly, we all love Lone Star, but the financials just aren’t working out. It was a Disney show that was on Fox and it never worked. And we had a long time with it. So now we’re launching a new show in a new city that I can’t name, but it’s fun. And 9-1-1 moved to ABC and suddenly became, I think, the biggest show on Thursday night. They obviously had interest in that, so we’re giving them another show that I really like.”
No details have been released about the location or premise. This will be the third show in the 9-1-1 series, with the original set in Los Angeles, and 9-1-1: Lone Star, which is in its fifth and final season, is based in Austin, Texas.
What will the new 9-1-1 spinoff be about?
There are a lot of theories about where the upcoming 9-1-1 could take place and what the show will be about. In a Reddit discussion about the spinoff, fans came up with some great ideas for locations and characters. Check out the theories below.
Location: Las Vegas What better setting for an emergency than Las Vegas? From the glitz of the Strip, to the endless crowds of tourists, and the desert landscape experiencing flash floods, there’s no shortage of action and drama to be had.
One fan asked, “It’s going to be Las Vegas, right?” Another replied, “I think so. I remember reading an article about ABC eyeing a potential spinoff. They said a lot of cities were being considered, but only one was named Vegas.”
A third fan said logistically, “it makes sense because I guess they could replicate Vegas on a lot in LA.”
According to a report from Deadline, Las Vegas is “among the potential cities being considered.”
Location: Boston There’s also a lot of love for colder climates, where perhaps more weather-related incidents could play a role in the show. “Hopefully somewhere cold like Boston or Minnesota!” said one fan in the Reddit discussion. Another mentioned, “It’ll be Boston.”
One 9-1-1 fan said Boston would make sense, sharing, “It already has a connection to OG, and with Eli, Maddie, and Chimney’s history in Boston, they could easily set up some eventual crossovers.”
One fan said they could definitely see a spinoff in Boston, but also hoped they’d switch up the location even more. “I hope it’s a city with more of a different terrain. Boston would just be like another big city with colder weather,” they noted. “I want them to do it in an interesting place where there are very different first responder needs.”
