ABC dabbles in the popular subgenre of the 911 call. Each hour long episode, hosted by Luke Wilson, will focus on the 911 operators who are the first point of contact.
ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke said “Emergency Call shines a light on these mysterious and brave voices who are driven by their desire to help; and Luke Wilson is the consummate host, navigating us through these extraordinary situations which will have you on the edge of your seat.”
