- '9-1-1' is a hit drama produced by Fox
- The show was almost cancelled
- It will now air on ABC
The show has done so well that hardly any viewers suspect how close the series escaped a cancellation. In fact, Fox decided to cancel '9-1-1' after the sixth season, as reported by 'Deadline'. However, this decision was not entirely unexpected and does NOT mean a definitive end to the series.
They almost gave it the axe!
From the seventh season, the show will be broadcast on ABC. "It is a privilege to keep '9-1-1' in the family as producers with 20th Television and we look forward to sharing more heartbreaking and uplifting stories about these beloved characters on our network," a network executive said.
