9-1-1’s latest spinoff is already risky before it even begins given the franchise’s declining viewership and a specific choice it’s making.9-1-1put a unique spin on procedurals by focusing on the intersection between first responders and the chaos that occurs behind every9-1-1emergency in Los Angeles. The show’s exciting plots and excellent cast led to the creation of the beloved9-1-1: Lone Star, which expanded the series into Austin, Texas. Unfortunately,9-1-1: Lone Starwas not as well received as9-1-1, which makes the series' plan to further expand the franchise a risky decision.
Given9-1-1’s declining views and9-1-1: Lone Star’s looming cancelation, the recent announcement that9-1-1is moving to Hawai’iseems to bear more consequences than benefits. While a9-1-1spinoffbased in Hawai’i would be an exciting change from the views of Los Angeles and Austin, the new location could be setting the franchise up for failure. A new show would also make it possible for several9-1-1actorsto return, but the show’s location will determine whether the spinoff can survive multiple seasons or not.

9-1-1: Lone Star is coming to an end after season 5, and some of the spinoff’s characters deserve to join the original procedural series on ABC.
News about the spinoff is being kept under wraps for the moment, but a Hawai’i-based9-1-1will use the beautiful landscapes of Hawai’i and its tropical storms to create intricate plots that have not been possible in9-1-1or9-1-1: Lone Star.The different location also means that the spinoff could reintroduce past9-1-1charactersthrough crossovers or cameos to connect the various shows together. A9-1-1spinoff set in Hawai’iwould be an exciting change for the franchise, but it would also make it an expensive spinoff to film, since shooting on location in Hawai’i is costly.
Hawai’i Being A 9-1-1 Spinoff Location Poses Some Massive Risks
Hawai’i Is A Very Expensive Filming Location
A9-1-1spinoff set in Hawai’i is definitely something to look forward to, but it is also worrying. Not only is a Hawai’i-based series expensive to shoot, but it is also grounds for cancelations, as seen with previous spinoffs.NCIS: Hawai’iwas canceled by CBSshortly after it began even with good ratings becauseit was too expensive to continue filming. To have9-1-1followNCIS' lead, and base a spinoff in Hawai’i as well, sets much higher standards for9-1-1to offset the cost of shooting on the island.

Regarding cancelations, the9-1-1franchise already has bad luck in that department.9-1-1and9-1-1: Lone Starhave both been canceled by Fox for being too expensive to film. That is why ABC picked up9-1-1for season 7 and why9-1-1: Lone Starseason 5will be the last season for the spinoff. To set the next9-1-1spinoff in Hawai’i is playing with fire given the history that the franchise has with spinoffs that failed to thrive.
