ABC has renewed the dramas 9-1-1 and Will Trent. Season eight of 9-1-1 has been ordered, as has season three of Will Trent. 

Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear created first-responders drama 9-1-1, which had six seasons on Fox before it moved to ABC last year. It is produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television and Brad Falchuk Teley-Vision.

Season seven began March 14, with 11.76 million watching the premiere, according to ABC, a cumulative audience over the first seven days. 

Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Oliver Stark are in the 9-1-1 cast. 

Executive producers are Murphy, Falchuck, Bassett, Krause, Minear, Alexis Martin Woodall and Juan Carlos Coto. 

Speaking at the TCA Winter Press Tour in February, Minear said 9-1-1 is more than a disaster show. “It can be a rom-com, it can be a soap, it can be satire, it can be a heartbreaking melodrama,” he said. “It can be all of those things in the same episode.”

Will Trent is based on the Karin Slaughter book series about a Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent with a difficult background. 

Season two debuted February 20. Ramón Rodríguez plays Trent. Sonja Sohn, Erika Christensen and Iantha Richardson are also in the cast. 

Executive producers are Liz Heldens, Daniel Thomsen, Karin Slaughter and Oly Obst. 

Will Trent is produced by 20th Television. 

Cop-and-firefighter drama 9-1-1 debuts on ABC March 14. Produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television and Brad Falchuk Teley-Vision, it has Angela Bassett, Peter Krause and Jennifer Love Hewitt in the cast. 

9-1-1 had six seasons on Fox. Cast and producers spoke of the move at the TCA Winter Press Tour in Pasadena last month. Tim Minear, co-creator and showrunner, said the new network has given 9-1-1 new energy. “It feels like the first year of the show in a lot of ways,” he said. “The enthusiasm at the network is through the roof … They’re just really engaged, and they already love the show. I just think it’s a shot in the arm for all of us.”

9-1-1 reaches 100 episodes this season. Season seven offers the usual array of extravagant disasters, including a tsunami and a fighter jet that goes missing in the skies. 

Minear said 9-1-1 is more than a disaster show. “It can be a rom-com, it can be a soap, it can be satire, it can be a heartbreaking melodrama,” he said. “It can be all of those things in the same episode.”

Also premiering March 14 is limited series Apples Never Fall on Peacock. Based on a Liane Moriarty novel, the drama features the Delaney couple, played by Annette Bening and Sam Neill, who sell their tennis academy in Florida and plot their retirement. They get a knock on the door from a stranger — a woman who apparently just escaped from a violent partner. The young woman essentially moves in with the Delaneys, arousing the suspicions of their adult children. 

The suspicions multiply when Joy, played by Bening, disappears. 

There are seven episodes. 

Bening’s many, many films include American Beauty, Postcards From the Edge and The Kids Are All Right. She was intrigued to try a TV series. “I thought, wow, this is just such an opportunity,” she said at the TCA Press Tour. “It was really fun for me because I had never done something over so many episodes.”

There’s lots and lots of tennis in the series, and some of the court scenes get pretty hot. Showrunner/exec producer Melanie Marnich said all the tennis gives Apples Never Fall its edge. “What’s so powerful about it is when you’re a family of deeply competitive people raised by deeply competitive people, it’s in the blood, it’s in the DNA and, to me, that amps up all the mystery,” she said. “It amps up what could have been possible, what these people could do to each other in the name of competition, in the name of competing for love.” 

ABC has picked up drama 9-1-1 and it will air on that network in 2023-2024. The show has had six seasons on Fox. 

Produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television and Brad Falchuk Teley-Vision, the series will continue to explore the experiences of police officers, firefighters and dispatchers who are thrust into scary situations.  

“Thanks to the creative drive of [creators] Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, as well as the talented cast, 9-1-1 has been one of the most defining and original dramas on network television over the last six seasons and we are honored to bring it to the esteemed group of series on ABC,” said Craig Erwich, president, Disney Television Group. “It’s a privilege to keep 9-1-1 in the family with 20th Television producing, and we look forward to telling more heart-racing and uplifting stories about these beloved characters on our air.” 

The series stars Angela Bassett as Athena Grant, Peter Krause as Bobby Nash, Jennifer Love Hewitt as Maddie Kendall, Oliver Stark as Evan “Buck” Buckley, Kenneth Choi as Howie “Chimney” Han and Aisha Hinds as Henrietta “Hen” Wilson. 

“It has been an honor to be the founding network of 9-1-1 and we are grateful to Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, together with Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Oliver Stark, Aisha Hinds, Kenneth Choi, Ryan Guzman and the rest of the cast and crew, and 20th Television for delivering such an impactful series to Fox,” Fox said in a statement. “We wish them well after 9-1-1’s final Fox season concludes.”

9-1-1’s final episode on Fox airs May 15. The network is increasingly focused on owning or at least co-owning its shows. 20th Television was owned by Fox, until The Walt Disney Company’s acquisition in 2019.  

Season five of 9-1-1: Lone Star is set to return to Fox next season. 

9-1-1 was created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, who executive produce. Alexis Martin Woodall, Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, John J. Gray, Kristen Reidel and Juan Carlos Coto are executive producers.

In terms of other shows shifting from Fox to ABC, American Idol was on Fox until 2016, and began on ABC two years later. 

 ABC’s comedy series Abbott Elementary was the big winner at  the 2023 NAACP Image Awards ceremony Saturday night as the civil rights organization honored excellence in television, music, film and sports.

In the television category, Abbott Elementary won an industry-high six awards, including outstanding comedy series, as well as best actress in a comedy series for series star/creator Quinta Brunson.

B&C has partnered with always-on TV ad measurement and attribution company iSpot.tv to bring you a weekly chart we call Promo Mojo: exclusive data showing the top five TV promos ranked by ad impressions. Our data covers the seven-day period through Jan. 17.

On the strength of 392.7 million TV ad impressions, a Fox promo for  9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star takes first place. Fox also pops up in an NFL promo — along with NBC and CBS — for NFL Football divisional playoff games in third.

CBS grabbing fourth place to hype The Equalizer means that traditional broadcast networks have the edge in our top 5. Rounding out the ranking: cable nets CNN and TNT, which promote, respectively, Lincoln: Divided We Stand in second and Snowpiercer in fifth.

Notably, the CNN spot has the highest iSpot Attention Index (116) in our ranking, meaning viewers were on average highly likely to watch it all the way through (vs. interrupting it by changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).

Prolific producer, director and writer Ryan Murphy is the latest big name talent to defect to Netflix from the television industry, signing an exclusive multi-year production deal with the streaming service.

The groundbreaking deal calls for Murphy, who has produced such Emmy Award-winning shows as FX's The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, Feud and American Horror Story – as well as breakout new Fox broadcasting series 9-1-1 – to produce new series and films exclusively at Netflix beginning July 1, according to the service. 

Murphy’s move from traditional television and cable networks to the digital streaming service follows producer/creator Shonda Rhimes, who signed an exclusive deal with Netflix in August after producing such shows as Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder for broadcast network ABC.

Netflix is already slated to premiere two new Murphy-produced original series, Ratched and The Politician.

“Ryan Murphy’s series have influenced the global cultural zeitgeist, reinvented genres and changed the course of television history,” said Ted Sarandos, chief content officer at Netflix, in a statement. “His unfaltering dedication to excellence and to give voice to the underrepresented, to showcase a unique perspective or just to shock the hell out of us, permeates his genre-shattering work. From Nip/Tuck -- our first licensed series -- to American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson and American Horror Story, we’ve seen how his brand of storytelling captivates consumers and critics across the globe. His celebrated body of work and his contributions to our industry speak for themselves, and we look forward to supporting Ryan in bringing his broad and diverse stories to the world.”

The deal comes two months after 20th Century Fox agreed to sell key content assets to the Walt Disney Co., including its movie and television production studios and cable networks FX, FXX and National Geographic. While Murphy's current FX and Fox shows will repotedly remain on their respective channels, his depature is a major loss for the company. 

Murphy in a statement said: "The history of this moment is not lost on me. I am a gay kid from Indiana who moved to Hollywood in 1989 with $55 dollars in savings in my pocket, so the fact that my dreams have crystallized and come true in such a major way is emotional and overwhelming to me. I am awash in genuine appreciation for Ted Sarandos, Reed Hastings and Cindy Holland at Netflix for believing in me and the future of my company, which will continue to champion women, minorities and LGBTQ heroes and heroines, and I am honored and grateful to continue my partnership with my friends and peers at Fox on our existing shows."
