911’s Shocking Move: New Set, New Start?

by

911 bids farewell to a crucial production site before the cast and crew resume work for Season 9. Since its premiere in 2018, ABC’s emergency response drama series has been shooting its episodes at the famous Fox Studio Lot on Pico Boulevard in Century City. However, a major shift orchestrated by Disney is about to alter this status quo.

Back in 2019, when Disney took over a substantial portion of 21st Century Fox’s assets, I was thrilled to learn that their 53-acre plot in Century City was part of the package. Yet, it wasn’t until much later that the move to a new location transpired, as Disney decided to lease the property for another seven years or so, ensuring minimal disturbance to their ongoing productions by operating as tenants instead.

Reddit user olga_dr posted a fresh photo from a 911 team member, indicating that the series has started filming in Burbank.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, this action is one of the strategies being implemented by the company to shift its television productions to Burbank. The reason for this is that Disney already owns a lot and complex there, which houses ABC and Disney Animation, making it more convenient to centralize their services.

The relocation of “911” to Burbank presents a host of fresh possibilities for both cast and team, but it has stirred feelings among certain actors due to their strong bond with Fox’s iconic studio lot.

Ryan Guzman, who portrays Eddie on the TV series 911, and served as a regular cast member during Season 8, shared an emotional farewell message (on Instagram) to Stage 6, the production site that has been his professional home for eight years.

Fox Television Network was the home for renowned series like “Modern Family,” “Fresh Off the Boat,” “The Orville,” and “L.A. to Vegas.” Additionally, it housed the spinoff of “911,” titled “911: Lone Star.

911 is entering a thrilling phase in its creation, suggesting that the narrative might unfold with further advancements. It’s possible that new settings may be introduced for Season 9 and subsequent seasons to keep viewers engaged.

911 has just bid farewell to Peter Krause’s character Bobby Nash, but the ABC procedural drama continues with a strong ensemble cast led by Angela Bassett as Athena Grant, Jennifer Love Hewitt as Maddie Buckley, Kenneth Choi as Howard “Chimney” Han, Aisha Hinds as Henrietta “Hen” Wilson, Ryan Guzman as Eddie Diaz, and Oliver Stark as Evan “Buck” Buckley.

911 was developed by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Tim Minear, and it delves into both the personal and professional lives of emergency responders in Los Angeles.

Why 911’s Production Shift Is Good News for the Show’s Characters

In the TV series “911”, the character Bobby Nash passing away signifies a fresh phase for ABC’s primary emergency responders. A shift in filming location during Season 9 might enhance this transition, offering viewers a glimpse of exciting new backdrops.

In Season 9, while the majority of locations might remain consistent (like the well-known Firehouse 118 headquarters and LAPD precinct), there’s a possibility that the homes of some main characters could undergo change.

Fervent fans of the 911 series are well-versed with the fact that Athena Grant’s home renovation project is ongoing in Season 8, and it’s possible that the upcoming season will reveal her newly refurbished abode as she embarks on a new phase of life without Bobby.

With the addition of a new family member, Maddie and Han might find it necessary to relocate into a larger home. This transition seems fitting from a narrative perspective, given that their house in the eighth season served as the location where a murderous serial killer attempted to harm Maddie in “911” Season 8, Episode 10.
