Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear reimagine the procedural drama with '9-1-1.' The series explores the high-pressure experiences of first responders - including police officers, firefighters and dispatchers - who are thrust into the most frightening, shocking and heart-stopping conditions. These emergency responders must try to balance saving those who are at their most vulnerable with solving the problems in their own lives. The show draws from the real lives of first responders who regularly face situations that are often unpredictable, intense and uplifting at the same time.
