The crack squad of deputies from Reno, Nevada are back on the case when Reno 911!<\/em> returns to life on Quibi.<\/p>\n

Announced by Comedy Central Productions and Quibi, season seven of the beloved comedy series is coming to the new streaming platform with series creators and stars Robert Ben Garant<\/strong>, Kerri Kenney-Silver<\/strong> and Thomas Lennon<\/strong> on board to write and star. So, where are former Reno 911!<\/em> stars Niecy Nash<\/a><\/strong>, Wendi McLendon-Covey<\/strong>, Cedric Yarbrough<\/strong>, Mary Birdsong<\/strong> and Carlos Alazraqui<\/strong>? Additional casting will be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n

“Reno 911!<\/em> holds a special place in our hearts, and it will be a delight to get the original cast back together for \u2018re-boot goofin.’ Hopefully Nick Swardson<\/strong> can still roller skate,” Lennon said in a statement. “Quibi’s short format seems custom made for our show.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Quibi, which is set to launch in 2020, is a mobile-first streaming platform. Each of its original shows are designed to be viewed on the go.<\/p>\n

Reno 911!<\/em> ran for six seasons and spawned a big screen movie all about the men and women of the Reno sheriff’s department. Each episode featured the officers going out on calls, with cameras following them. Think Cops<\/em>, but funny.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“We are very excited to partner with Ben, Kerri and Tom, three of the most gifted multi-hyphenates in comedy, to bring more of their iconic series Reno 911!<\/em> to the world,” Sarah Babineau<\/strong> and Jonas Larsen<\/strong>, Comedy Central’s co-heads of original content said in a joint statement. “Fans demanded this for a long time and Comedy Central Productions and Quibi are thrilled to help answer that kind of 911 call.”<\/p>\n

Danny Devito<\/a><\/strong>, Peter Principato<\/strong>, Michael Shamberg<\/strong> and Stacey Sher<\/strong> are all executive producers on the show.<\/p>\n

“I couldn’t say it better than Sarah and Jonas, and I for one will sleep soundly knowing Reno 911!<\/em> is back on the beat keeping our streets safe once again,” Doug Herzog<\/strong> of Quibi said in a statement.<\/p>\n
