Ryan Phillippe Teases Jennifer Love Hewitt Crossover

Ryan Phillippe is joining the 9-1-1 franchise in '9-1-1: Nashville,' portraying homicide detective Rogue Kelly. This marks a reunion possibility with his 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' co-star, Jennifer Love Hewitt, who has been a series regular on the main '9-1-1' show as dispatcher Maddie since 2018. During a recent interview, Phillippe teased that a crossover episode between the two shows could be in the works.

When asked about the potential for a joint episode reminiscent of their '90s slasher film, Phillippe responded that he "could see that" and would "tease that maybe that's gonna happen." While he cautioned that it's only a "maybe," the possibility has generated considerable excitement. Phillippe’s character in the original 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' met his demise, but the recent revival saw other original cast members return, suggesting that even deceased characters could theoretically reappear.

Fans eagerly await potential developments, with both '9-1-1' and '9-1-1: Nashville' scheduled to return to ABC on October 15, 2026. The actor's new role in Nashville adds a country music capital backdrop to the unfolding drama.
