As revealed by Deadline, creators and stars Robert Ben Garant, Kerri Kenney-Silver and Thomas Lennon are on board to write and appear in the revival, Danny DeVito, Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher executive producing.
“Reno 911! holds a special place in our hearts, and it will be a delight to get the original cast back together for ‘re-boot goofin,’” said Lennon. “Hopefully Nick Swardson can still roller skate. Quibi’s short format seems custom made for our show.”
“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! to the world,” said Sarah Babineau and Jonas Larsen of Comedy Central Productions. “Fans demanded this for a long time and Comedy Central Productions and Quibi are thrilled to help answer that kind of 911 call.”
