Created by Brad Falchuk, Tim Minear and Ryan Murphy, these two series quickly became pivotal to FOX’s programming, as suggested in a statement by Michael Thorn, President of Entertainment for Fox Entertainment: “9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star are truly two of the strongest and most thrilling dramas on broadcast television, as well as being centerpieces for Fox Entertainment. […] From Los Angeles earthquakes and tsunamis to Texas-sized tornados and bucking broncos, both shows deliver incredible spectacle with strong, identifiable characters you care about week to week. We eagerly look forward to many more thrilling rescues in both series, which help honor this country’s brave first responders, as well as those around the world.”
