The much-loved mockumentary series Reno 911!<\/a> is a pastiche of law enforcement reality shows that ran for six seasons between 2003 and 2009. It has now been announced that the series has been greenlit for a new season.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next season of Reno 911! will be released onto Quibi<\/a>, the upcoming streaming platform that will feature videos that run no longer than 10 minutes. While the previous seasons of the show featured 22-minute episodes, the fragmented nature of the series should lend itself to this format. The new season doesn’t yet have a release date, but Quibi is set to launch in April.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Reno 911! writer and star Thomas Lennon said, “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.’ Hopefully Nick Swardson can still roller skate. Quibi’s short format seems custom made for our show.”<\/p>\n

This news follows the announcement of 50 States of Fright<\/a>, a horror anthology that will also release onto Quibi. The series will revolve around urban legends from around the country, and the first teaser was released earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Quibi will launch on April 6. The cost of the service will be $5 a month with ads or $8 a month without. It will launch with 50 original shows, including reboots of MTV’s Singled Out and Punk’d<\/a>. Additionally, there is a Legends of the Hidden Temple<\/a> revamp for adults coming to the service as well.<\/p>\n
