"Oliver Stark shares insights on 9-1-1's future and major transformation"

Fans of the TV show 9-1-1 were shocked when it was announced that the show would not be picked up for a seventh season by Fox. However, the show has found a new home on ABC. The return of the show, along with others, is uncertain due to ongoing strikes.

In a surprising turn of events, fans of the hit show 9-1-1 were left in shock when it was announced that the show would not be returning for a seventh season on its original network, Fox. However, their disappointment was short-lived as ABC swooped in and picked up the top-rated procedural series. This means that fans can still look forward to future installments of the show and the return of beloved stars such as Angela Bassett, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ryan Guzman, and Oliver Stark.

Unfortunately, the fate of 9-1-1, along with several other shows, hangs in the balance due to ongoing strikes by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). The strikes have thrown the Fall schedule for network TV into disarray, leaving fans uncertain about when they can expect their favorite shows to return.

Before the strikes took place, Oliver Stark, a British actor who plays a prominent role in 9-1-1, shared his excitement about the show's move to ABC in an interview with Variety. He revealed that the cast and crew were not informed about the network change until the day of the official press release. Despite this lack of prior knowledge, Oliver remained optimistic and saw the move as an exciting opportunity for the show.

Regarding the possibility of a crossover between 9-1-1 and its spin-off, 9-1-1: Lone Star, Oliver expressed uncertainty about the legalities involved but stated that the cast would be open to the idea. He even speculated that the crossover could potentially extend to other ABC procedurals, such as The Rookie.

However, Fox executive Michael Thorn later dismissed the likelihood of crossovers between networks, citing the ambitious schedules of both shows as a hindrance. He explained that even when both shows aired on Fox, crossovers were challenging to coordinate and were not a regular occurrence. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that fans will see a crossover between 9-1-1 and any other shows in the near future.

Michael also shed light on Fox's decision to not renew 9-1-1 for a seventh season. He stated that the network believed the economics of the show would not work out in the new era of television. Ultimately, the decision was made to return the show to its production studio, 20th TV.

While the future of 9-1-1 remains uncertain due to the ongoing strikes, fans can take solace in the fact that the show will continue on ABC. The move to a new network opens up new possibilities and potentially exciting storylines for the beloved characters. As fans eagerly await the return of 9-1-1, they can only hope that the strikes will be resolved soon, allowing for a smooth transition into the next season.
