Reno 911! is back and getting defunded in this trailer for Roku’s revival
New streaming home Roku has shared a trailer for show's latest revival
The revived version of Reno 911! was one of the few actual hits to come out of Quibi’s quick bite at existence, especially once the Quibi shows became Roku Originals and were suddenly available on a platform that people actually like and use. Last summer, Roku ordered more full-length episodes of Reno 911!—meaning like a regular show, not like a Quibi show—and now the fledgling streaming service that used to just be a streaming device has revealed the first trailer for Reno 911! Defunded, the third or fourth revival the show has managed to pull off.
As indicated by the name, this is sort of a “the future liberals want” take on Reno 911!, with the squad of lovably terrible cops losing their funding after (or maybe before, it’s hard to tell from a trailer) crime in Reno escalates to full-on riots. That means we get both the Reno cops using excessively dangerous military hardware and struggling to come up with schemes that will try and make cops seem more likable. Funny hats! Promotional calendars! Racial sensitivity training!
