RENO 911 Will Live on with New Episodes Coming to Roku

As you know, the police mockumentary series Reno 911 got picked up for a new season thanks to Quibi, the short-lived streaming service. It was a lot of fun to see these characters back in action and when Quibi went under, I assumed that was the last we’d see of Reno 911.

I assumed incorrectly, and I’m happy to report that Reno 911 will be back with new episodes! The series will live on at Roku, which acquired the Quibi programming slate earlier this year for its Roku Channel. According to Collider Roku “has ordered full, 30-minute episodes” of Reno 911 which is great! Quibi only offered episodes that were only 5 or 10 minutes long, so these full-length episodes will certainly be welcome by fans.

While Quibi didn’t last very long, the streaming service did manage to land eight Emmy nominations, which is an impressive feat. They received more than several of the other networks that are still in business. With Roku picking up all of these shows, they are now taking the glory for those nominations and they have rebranded the show as Roku Originals.

Regardless of all that, I’m just happy that we will be getting more Reno 911 episodes in the future!
