By now, we all know the story of Quibi- the service whose content turned out to be better than the service itself. So much so that Roku acquired the now-defunct service's programming slate earlier this year for its Roku Channel. One of those included in the purchase was the return of Robert Ben Garant, Thomas Lennon, Kerri Kenney-Silver's Reno 911! which would go on to be nominated this year for an Emmy. So with that in mind, Variety had some good news for fans wondering what the future would hold for Reno Sheriff's Department- and it's good news on a number of levels. Roku scripted executive Colin Davis confirmed that Reno 911! be back for more episodes, and that the four additional episodes ordered will be full half-hour episodes.

Originally running from 2003 to 2009 on Comedy Central, the mockumentary-style series parodied popular "crime cam" series such as Cops and developed a strong fan-following based on the combination of the cast's improv skills and dysfunctional family feel with the show's unscripted vibe. Nevada's finest found themselves taking a trip to the big screen with 2007 feature film Reno 911!: Miami. Peter Principato of Artists First executive produced alongside Danny DeVito, Michael Shamberg, and Stacey Sher of Jersey Television. Comedy Central Productions produced.
