Exclusive: 'Reno 911! Defunded' trailer reveals that Reno's finest are back — and dealing with budget cuts.
It’s been a wild ride for Reno 911!, and, as we reported back in August, it’s about to continue at Roku. The series originally aired at Comedy Central and was canceled in 2009 after six seasons. Eleven years later, the sitcom was revived by Quibi, a streaming platform that is now long gone.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Made in a post-George Floyd world and BLM scenario, the trailer of Reno 911! Defunded also highlights that the series won’t hold back on satirizing police behavior and some cops’ inability to understand their harmful attitudes. The Reno 911 team will have to learn to deal with citizens that no longer bow down to authority and get rid of all their militarized gear – but not before giving them a last test run on each other.
The trailer also confirms that original cast members Thomas Lennon, Robert Ben Garant, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Niecy Nash, and Cedric Yarbrough are all set to return. On top of that, the new season of Reno 911! will feature a slate of guest stars that include George Lopez and “Weird Al” Yankovic.
Roku premieres Reno 911! Defunded on February 25. The directors are Robert Ben Garant, David Lincoln, and Christian Hoffman, and the series is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios. You can watch the trailer below: It’s 2022. Crime is on the rise, but one city is never short on heroes. Reno’s finest are back and this time they’re facing their biggest challenge yet –they’ve been defunded! No budget. No back-up.
