9-1-1 Season 4- What we know so far
9-1-1 has seen consistently high ratings ever since it aired on Fox two years ago. The show has an average viewership count of ten million viewers across its three seasons. 9-1-1 has also inspired a spin-off television series on Fox, titled 9-1-1: Lone Star, which is based on the first responders in the city of Austin, Texas. In April 2020, while the third season of 9-1-1 was still airing, Fox renewed the show for a fourth season.
Season three of 9-1-1 finished airing in May 2020. Although the new season usually begins production in June-July and starts airing in September, this might not happen for season four, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fox has also made an announcement that the show won’t be returning until 2021. Showrunner Tim Minear has also hinted that he might incorporate the ongoing pandemic into the next season. If production does not get delayed any further, season four of 9-1-1 might air sometime in mid-2021.
