After the cast was shocked by the 2009 cancelation of the series by Comedy Central, the project spent a decade in relative limbo, though fans regularly called for more. Indeed, the final episode of the original six-season run was a bit underwhelming, with the deputies singing about self-acceptance, which was fine but not necessarily an impactful final word. This had to do with it coming as a surprise, according to Lennon and Garant, who hadn’t planned for the show to run its course so soon. Fortunately, there was still more to come, it just would take years and a network change to pull it off.
In 2020, a 25-episode seventh season appeared on Quibi, however, the network was short-lived, and with its end, “Reno 911!” was again lost at sea. In 2021, Paramount+ released the TV movie, “The Hunt for QAnon.” After this, the Roku Channel picked up the show’s 11-episode eighth season only for the series to then return to Comedy Central, with the network re-editing the abbreviated Quibi episodes into the standard-length twenty-two minutes.

If this all sounds like a wild ride, that’s because it is, but it seems likely that these comedic masterminds will be delivering more laughs to come. True to the original series, the reboot has featured plenty of cameos, including Danny Trejo, Tim Allen, and Ron Perlman, not to mention the original cast members back in their uniforms and … protecting(?) Reno, and, in the end, that’s all any fan could ask for.
