‘9-1-1: Nashville’ Teaser Shows a Hot Save in Action

The world of 9-1-1 is officially expanding with 9-1-1: Nashville, the third series in the franchise (with the first set in Los Angeles and the second, Lone Star, which wrapped its five-season run on Fox, in Austin).

The new series will air on ABC this fall, joining its predecessor, which moved to ABC after six seasons.

Below, we take a look at everything we know about the latest show in the franchise, including a new teaser that shows the full line-up of stars in action.

When will 9-1-1: Nashville premiere?

9-1-1: Nashville will premiere on Thursday, October 9, at 9/8c, on ABC. (That’s a week earlier than previously announced.)

It will follow 9-1-1 Season 9 and be followed by Grey’s Anatomy.

What is 9-1-1: Nashville about?

The new 9-1-1 series is a high-octane procedural about heroic first responders, as well as their family saga of power and glamour set in one of America’s most diverse and dynamic cities.

Who’s in the 9-1-1: Nashville cast?

Chris O’Donnell is set to star as Captain Don Sharpe, “a rugged fire captain and rodeo rider who runs Nashville’s busiest firehouse with his beloved son. Don’s a devoted husband and family man but he has his secrets.”

Jessica Capshaw has also joined the cast as a series regular. She’ll be playing Don’s wife and Ryan’s mother, according to Deadline.

Joining them in undisclosed roles are LeAnn Rimes and Kimberly Williams-Paisley.

Hailey Kilgore, Michael Provost, Juani Feliz, and Hunter McVey have also joined the spinoff, Variety reports on June 3. Kilgore’s Taylor is “a firefighter and incredible singer,” Provost’s Ryan is “a modern-day cowboy and firefighter,” Feliz’s Cammi is “an adrenaline junkie and former trauma surgeon,” and McVey’s Blue is “a haunted bad boy who is now a firefighter.”

9-1-1: Nashville is produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television. Ryan Murphy, Tim Minear, and Rashad Raisani (who serves as showrunner) are executive producers and writers. Joining them as executive producers are Chris O’Donnell, Brad Buecker, Brad Falchuk, and Angela Bassett, who, in addition to starring in and executive producing 9-1-1, was an EP on Lone Star.

Is there a 9-1-1: Nashville trailer?

There are teasers, including the one above and the below first look that shows the team in action on a hot save.

Will Lone Star characters appear on Nashville?

When TV Insider spoke with Raisani about the Lone Star finale, he shared with us that he “would love” to see characters from that show pop up on the spinoff (or 9-1-1).

Will Nashville have the same tone as the other 9-1-1 shows?

“I think that it will have a different tone,” Raisani also teased. “It will still hopefully feel like our DNA, but in the same way that Lone Star was different than 9-1-1 and had its own feel, I think that if we can get this right, this will have its own feel.”

Will 9-1-1 introduce Nashville in a backdoor pilot?

Minear also shared with us in November that there won’t be a backdoor pilot on 9-1-1 to set up the new (at the time, just potential) spinoff. That was true of Lone Star as well, though there was some crossover between the two shows over the years (but not as much as they’d hoped).
