In a move that delighted fans, “9-1-1” was renewed for a seventh season, shifting its broadcast from Fox to ABC, as reported by Variety. This transition marks a new chapter in the series’ illustrious journey.

Station 19 needs to find a new home. That’s the bottom line. Note the comment about 9-1-1 being an extremely expensive drama. I hope we are alerting Netflix and other people about the fly past tomorrow. #savestation19 #station19 @netflix . https://t.co/Vj2yC4aCuF
