ABC has announced four of its scripted series, 9-1-1, 9-1-1: Nashville, High Potential and Abbott Elementary have been renewed.
The news came after Abbott Elementary, in particular, was recently represented by star and creator Quinta Brunson and fellow cast members at the SAG’s 2026 Actor Awards.
9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Nashville are both executive produced in part by Angela Bassett, who also stars in the flagship series.
