ABC Renews 9-1-1, 9-1-1: Nashville and High Potential, Timed to Two-Hour Crossover

ABC cited strong multi-platform ratings to lock in its Thursday dramas for the 2026–27 season.

Overview

  • ABC confirmed 9-1-1 for Season 10, 9-1-1: Nashville for Season 2 and High Potential for Season 3 for the 2026–27 broadcast year.
  • The renewal news was coordinated with a two-hour crossover that aired March 5, sending Buck and Eddie to Nashville for the national Firefighter Games without revealing story outcomes.
  • Both 9-1-1 dramas rank in the Top 10 among adults 18–49 in seven-day multi-platform viewing, with Nashville listed as TV’s No. 1 new drama in the demo.
  • High Potential remains one of ABC’s highest-rated series across linear and streaming, and Todd Harthan will step down as showrunner next season to focus on Disney+’s Eragon.
  • Flagship 9-1-1 secured another season despite high production costs tied to large-scale stunts and a Los Angeles shoot, and recent crossover filming faced real winter-storm travel disruptions for cast.
