9-1-1 Franchise: Fox Says its ‘Extremely Unlikely’ Crossovers Will Continue

The 9-1-1 franchise will be split up next season, with the mothership moving to ABC and the spinoff staying at Fox.

While the move was in the works for a year—prior Rob Wade taking on the role of CEO of FOX Entertainment—this will mean a shift for the two shows and their ability to remain interconnected.

“We’re really proud of the 9-1-1 franchise and excited to announce another season of LONE STAR,” Michael Thorn, President of Scripted Programming, FOX Entertainment, told reporters in a call discussing the new season. “It’s really a standout series…rest assured, we’re going to relaunch that show. It’s an important show to our audience. And we’re very excited to have it back.”

“As far as crossovers go, crossovers have always been really hard on the 9-1-1 franchise because they’re such ambitious schedules,” Thorn continued. “We weren’t able to do it every year when both shows were on our network anyways. So I’d say it’s extremely unlikely [it happens in the future].”
