The Fate of ‘Rescue HI-Surf,’ Fox’s ‘9-1-1’ Replacement Has Been Decided

The fate of Rescue: H1-Surf has been decided by Fox in a shocking turn. The network has announced that Rescue: H1-Surf, Fox’s replacement for 9-1-1, has officially been canceled after one season. There are also reportedly no plans for Warner Bros. to shop the series, leaving it truly dead in the water with no chance to be revived elsewhere. What makes this news even more devastating is that fans have been turning up in rows, voting enough on Save the Show polls that Rescue H1-Surf had ranked high on the platform’s list of series that have fans craving another season. This cancellation comes just over one month after the season finale, and updates on the series have been eerily quiet in the days since.

Rescue: H1-Surf follows the dedicated lifeguards who live off the coast of the North Shore of O’ahu as they work together to save people’s lives in some of the most treacherous conditions on Earth. There were six stars to feature in all 19 episodes of Rescue: H1-Surf, and leading the charge is Robbie Magasiva, who stars as Harlan ‘Sonny’ Jennings in the series. Following behind him in lead roles are Erielle Kebbel and Adam Demos as Emily ‘Em’ Wright and Will Ready. Kekoa Kekumano, Zoe Cipres, and Alex Aiono also star in all 19 episodes of the show as Lake Honahano, Hina, and Kainalu. Fans may know Kekumano from playing a young Arthur Curry to Jason Momoa’s older version in Aquaman. Rescue: H1-Surf was written and created for television by Matt Kester, with Ryan Martinez-Slattery, Michelle Lesley Johnson, and more all working in the writer’s room.

Where Is ‘Rescue: H1-Surf’ Streaming?

Rescue: H1-Surf aired new episodes every Monday night, and they began streaming on Hulu the following day. All 19 episodes of the series can be streamed on Hulu. Loren Yaconelli directed the most episodes of Rescue: H1-Surf, with five, and she’s also known for her work on other shows such as The Walking Dead: Dead City and The Walking Dead: World Beyond. Andi Armaganian, Avi Youabian, and John Wells each directed two episodes of the lifeguard series, with Kevin Berlandi, Erin Lau, Sherwin Silati, Shaz Bennett, Danielle Eisman, and more coming on board to helm various installments.
