FIRST RESPONDERS LIVE: Fox Orders Dick Wolf-Produced Unscripted Series

Fox has ordered unscripted series FIRST RESPONDERS LIVE, which gives “viewers an unprecedented look at fearless first responders, as they answer emergency calls across the country.” The Dick Wolf-produced series will bow on Wednesday, June 12 at 9/8c.

Per Fox, “Hosted by Emmy Award-winning television journalist Josh Elliott, the series will provide a raw, in-depth look at the brave American heroes, including firefighters, police officers, EMS technicians and first responders, who put their own lives on the line as they race into danger to save others. Each week, the show will embed cameras in multiple cities across the country, to document a night in the life of these units. Elliott will provide live analysis and commentary, with help from a team of experts, as the show follows first-person accounts of the action.”

“I am thrilled to work with the legendary Dick Wolf on a show that will give viewers a unique look at the bravest and most courageous among us, as they jump into the fray to rescue and save lives,” said Rob Wade, President, Alternative Entertainment and Specials, FOX Entertainment in a statement. “With the success of our drama, 9-1-1, viewers have a strong appetite for stories based in this world. Watching real first responders spring into action as they answer these calls will be a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat journey for viewers each week.”

“I have always been fascinated by the brave work of first responders, who face life-and-death decisions on a daily basis,” added Wolf. “FIRST RESPONDERS LIVE will give viewers a front row seat to paramedic, fire and police calls, and they will see the challenges of every type of emergency. It is truly the real-life version of CHICAGO FIRE, CHICAGO P.D., and CHICAGO MED.”
