9-1-1 Spinoff Heads to Nashville with Star-Studded Cast

In a major shakeup for the 9-1-1 franchise, the original series that premiered on Fox in 2018 was canceled in 2023, but the show has found new life on ABC. According to the show's creator, Ryan Murphy, the network has an "appetite" for the 9-1-1 brand, and a new spinoff set in Nashville is currently in development.

The new show, tentatively titled 9-1-1: Nashville, is set to debut next fall and will feature a talented ensemble cast. Chris O'Donnell will play Captain Don Sharpe, a veteran firefighter and former rodeo rider leading a Nashville firehouse. Jessica Capshaw will portray Blythe, Don's wife and the mother of their firefighter son, Ryan. Country music stars LeAnn Rimes and Kimberly Williams-Paisley will also join the cast, with Rimes playing a firefighter who moonlights as a singer and Williams-Paisley reprising her role as a 911 dispatcher.

The 9-1-1 franchise has always been known for its high-stakes drama and personal stories, and the Nashville spinoff promises to deliver more of the same. Fans can expect to see the new characters navigate the challenges of their demanding jobs while also dealing with their complex personal lives. With a talented cast and the proven success of the 9-1-1 brand, this new spinoff is sure to captivate audiences when it premieres next year.
