The two Ryan Murphy series weren’t shoe-ins for their respective renewals, says Deadline’s Nellie Andreeva. “9-1-1 remains one of ABC’s most watched scripted series, recently logging its best multi-platform audience since the season premiere,” says Andreeva. Still, it is an expensive nine-year-old drama series filming in Los Angeles with a big star as the lead, Angela Bassett, and noisy, big-production yearly stunts.” Andreeva adds: “It has been a rollercoaster ride for 9-1-1: Nashville. After a solid start, the spinoff hit bumps, with the ratings tapering off and hitting a low in the fall finale and staying low in its winter return, holding just over half of its sizable 9-1-1 lead-in. Undergoing a course correction, including some retooling, Nashville has started to hit its stride, hitting series highs in both total viewers and adults 18-49 with its January 29 episode. The momentum has continued since, with its timing solidifying the series’ renewal chances.”
