Quibi’s ‘Reno 911!’ Reboot Receives Two Emmy Nominations

Quibi’s Reno 911! reboot received two Emmy nominations this year, being the series first nominations, according to Comicbook. The series received nominations for Outstanding Short Form Comedy Or Drama Series, along with another for Kerri Kenney-Silver’s (Wanderlust, The State) role as Deputy Trudy Wiegel (Outstanding Actress In A Short Form Comedy Or Drama Series). The streaming platform received 10 Emmy nomiations for 2020, validating and speaking for Quibi’s content.

Kenne-Silver is up against Anna Kendrick (Dummy), Jasmine Cephas Jones (#FreeRayshawn), Kaitlin Olson (Flipped), and Rain Valdez (Razor Tongue) for the Emmy Award, other Quibi shows. Competition for the Outstanding Short Form Comedy Or Drama Series includes series such as Better Call Saul, Star Trek: Short Treks, and The Good Place, and Quibi’s Most Dangerous Game. 

Reno 911! filmed all of their season’s content before COVID-19 put the industry on pause. Currently, 12 episodes are on Quibi out of the 25.

“They’re done,” Lennon told Comicbook regarding the episodes. “A bizarre thing that happened is we fully finished filming everything right before the quarantine and lockdown, and we actually had several episodes fully done. So all of the post of the vast majority of the episodes was finished by our amazing editors in their houses. We haven’t seen anybody in person in for, it feels like a couple months now, but a lot of the posts was handled. In a terribly dangerous time, it’s also bizarre that we’d never been more perfectly set up to not have to meet and do things, you know?”

The latest season of Reno 911! is available to stream on Quibi, now. Watch the trailer below.
