ABC's '9-1-1' Just Had Its Biggest Week Ever

After 9 hit seasons and the debut of a brand-new spin-off, ABC's 9-1-1 appears to be just as popular as ever, and its recent shattering of some impressive viewership records is proof of that. Starring Angela Bassett as Athena Grant and co-created by TV guru Ryan Murphy, 9-1-1 was an instant success for ABC when it first debuted in 2018, becoming one of the most popular police procedurals on a network that's already chock full of them, with the likes of High Potential and The Rookie. The show has dealt with everything from common house fires to meteors from outer space, and now it's reaping the rewards of its conquest of such disasters.
