"Reno 911!" Finds New Relevance Amid Headlines

The satirical police comedy pokes fun at police departments.

"Reno 911!" is back — and just in time to parody the latest headlines and conversations about law enforcement.  

"There was so much in the headlines that happened between season seven and eight, really, that we knew we couldn't avoid," said Robert Ben Garant, co-creator of "Reno 911!" "So, we just sort of went through them like a checklist and said, 'Okay, what's the Reno version of this?'"

The slapstick police parody originally ran on Comedy Central from 2003 to 2009 and returned to streaming in 2020.
