FOX is losing one series from producer Ryan Murphy today but gaining a new one. Ahead of its upfront presentation, FOX announced that Scream Queens has been cancelled after two seasons. However, the network also confirmed a straight-to-series order for Murphy's new drama 9-1-1 starring Angela Bassett.
New procedural drama 9-1-1 is a fast-paced exploration into the lives and careers of first responders - cops, paramedics, firefighters - the people who put their lives on the line to save others. Starring Academy and Emmy nominee Angela Bassett (American Horror Story), the series is based on the real-life, high-pressure experiences of emergency response providers who are thrust into heart-stopping situations that are equal parts unpredictable, intense and uplifting.
Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk created the drama. 20th Century Fox Television, Ryan Murphy Television and Brad Falchuk Teley-Vision produce.
Scream Queens starred Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer, Billie Lourd, Kirstie Alley, Taylor Lautner, James Earl and John Stamos.
