The9-1-1universe continues to expand even with9-1-1: Lone Starin itsfifth and final season. After much speculation about the future of theRyan Murphy-fronted universe, the multi-hyphenate has confirmed toVarietythat there is, in fact, another9-1-1series in the works. Still in the early days of development, Murphy reveals that he is writing it withTim Minear. The location or premise of the show is yet to be determined, but they hope to have it on air in the 2025/2026 TV season. The show is set to air on9-1-1’s current home, ABC. Murphy talked about the new series, saying,
“Tim Minear and I are working on a new spin-off that we’re actually writing, and that we hope to get on the air next fall. . . . So now we’re going to launch a new show in a new city that I can’t name, but it’s fun. And ‘9-1-1’ moved to ABC and suddenly became, I think, the biggest show on Thursday night. They obviously have an appetite for that, so we’re going to give them another one that I really love.”
