The timing of LA Fire & Rescue’s premiere comes as One Chicago (including Chicago Fire) and Law & Order are on break for summer vacation.
Our sister publication Deadline first reported in May 2021 that the firefighter-centered reality TV series had received a green light from NBC. Eddie Schmidt, the director behind Ugly Delicious, Chelsea Does and In Search of…, will serve as the showrunner. LA Fire & Rescue will be produced by Dick Wolf and Tom Thayer for Wolf Entertainment, Rasha Drachkovitch for 44 Blue and Universal Television Alternative Studio, a division of Universal Studio Group, according to Deadline.
