The series finale of 9-1-1: Lone Star airs tonight on Fox, and fans are devastated that the TV show will not be continuing with a renewal.

We learned why the series was given a cancellation notice last year. Keep reading to find out more… In an interview, the show’s co-creator Ryan Murphy revealed why it was ultimately canceled by Fox. “[Co-creator] Tim Minear and I are working on a new [9-1-1] spinoff that we’re actually writing, and that we hope to get on the air next fall,” he shared with Variety. “Sadly, we all love ‘Lone Star,’ but the financials just didn’t work.

It’s a Disney company that was on a Fox network, and it just was never going to work. And we had a long run of it. So now we’re going to launch a new show in a new city that I can’t name, but it’s fun.

And 9-1-1 moved to ABC and suddenly became, I think, the biggest show on Thursday night. They obviously have an appetite for that, so we’re going to give them another one that I really love.” Fox did renew a fan favorite TV show this year, in some good news!
