9-1-1 Franchise Will Expand With Second Spinoff, Ryan Murphy Confirms Major U.S. Cities, Be Warned: The Next Bee-nado Could Be Coming to Your Area.
9-1-1 co-creator Ryan Murphy has confirmed plans to expand the 9-1-1-verse with a second spinoff, set to air on ABC.
“[Series co-creator] Tim Minear and I are working on a new spinoff that we’re actually writing right now and we’re hoping to air next fall,” Murphy told our sister publication Variety on Tuesday. “We’re launching a new show in a new city that I can’t name, but it’s exciting. And 9-1-1 moved to ABC and suddenly became, I think, the biggest show on Thursday nights. Obviously, they’re interested in that, so we’re going to give them another show that I really love.”
Murphy did not provide further details about the location or premise of the potential spinoff. ABC had no comment when contacted by TVLine. And at the risk of making all of this our own, news of a second 9-1-1 spinoff was one of the fall TV predictions TVLine made earlier this week; you can scroll through the rest of our predictions below.

See the List This new spinoff will be the third show in the 9-1-1 franchise, following the OG Los Angeles-set series (currently airing its eighth season Thursdays at 8/7c on ABC) and the Austin, Texas-based 9-1-1: Lone Star, currently in its fifth and final season on Fox (Mondays, 8 p.m.).
“It’s sad, we all love Lone Star, but the financials are not right,” Murphy continued. “It’s a Disney company that used to be on Fox, and it never worked. And we’ve had a long time with it.” (The original 9-1-1 series also aired on Fox, but moved to ABC starting with its seventh season.) Lone Star co-showrunner Rashad Raisani previously told TVLine that “the business elements that come into play — syndication, sponsors, networks, all that stuff — are beyond our creative control” when it comes to ending the show with Season 5, but promised that the final batch of episodes will “deliver a beautiful sendoff to each of these characters.”
