Luke Wilson to host ABC docuseries Emergency Call focusing on 911 operators

TheWrap

Premiering Sept. 28, the hourlong series will follow “the extreme, suspenseful and sometimes humorous stories that flood 911 call centers." Emergency Call will help fill out ABC's lineup until scripted shows return later this fall. “Since I was a kid, I have always been interested in people who help. People who save people,” Wilson said in a statement. “When you’re younger, you might be drawn toward superheroes or fictional characters, but as you get older you come to realize that people who help, real-life heroes, are just regular people who do extraordinary things. 911 call takers don’t just save people; they calm and console people until they are safe. They are the first link in the chain of first responders. For that, I feel very lucky to be a part of this project.” Watch Emergency Call's trailer.
