‘9-1-1: Nashville’ Boss Wants Upcoming Crossover to Just Be the Beginning
What To Know
- 9-1-1: Nashville showrunner Rashad Raisani reveals plans for a crossover event with the original 9-1-1, with discussions underway about its format and details.
- Raisani hopes this crossover will establish an ongoing relationship between the casts, making future crossovers more common and less unusual.
- While the current focus is on developing Nashville‘s main characters, Raisani is eager to eventually include characters from both the original and Lone Star series in the future.
The 9-1-1 franchise doesn’t cross over as much within itself as other universes like One Chicago and Law & Order, but over the years, there have been mentions and one or a few characters that have made their way to one of the other shows. For example, just this season, 9-1-1: Nashville‘s Kimberly Williams-Paisley guest starred as Cammie on the mothership to help out during its space crisis. But there’s something a bit more substantial than that coming (not connected to the hacker currently causing issues being the same one from 9-1-1 Season 5).
“It’s brewing,” 9-1-1: Nashville showrunner Rashad Raisani tells TV Insider of a true crossover between the spinoff and 9-1-1. Conversations have just started, and the nature of the event — including whether it will be two hours or just take place in one of them on a Thursday night (the shows air back-to-back) — will depend on the story they want to tell. Details like that are still being worked out, so for now, nothing is definite.
“I would like it to be some 9-1-1 characters coming to Nashville,” he continues. “We want to make this a thing that’s not just a one-time thing, that we can start to develop a relationship between these casts so that it won’t be always so out of the norm to be able to do it.”
Raisani is also still hoping to get some of his 9-1-1: Lone Star characters to Nashville. “I have spoken to Rafael [Silva], Jim [Parrack], Gina [Torres], Natacha [Karam], Ronen [Rubinstein],” he says. “‘Would you ever consider…?’ I think everybody wants to do it.”
The only challenge right now? The focus is on Nashville‘s characters and making sure that, since the first part of this season has been on the Harts and Bennings family drama, the other characters don’t get lost in the mix.
“So, to bring in characters from other shows before we’ve really gotten our gang completely off the ground is a challenge. But that said, any chance I can mention the Lone Star people or the OG people or get them in there, we’re going to do it,” Raisani promises. We did get a Firefox mention earlier this season as well, for Natacha Karam‘s Marjan (9-1-1: Lone Star).

I think they never should have canceled the Texas 911 and should not have killed off Bobby Nash on the original 911 the show has gone to crap
-

I quit watching 911 when they killed Bobby. Big mistake on their part.

Have you even tried watching the latest season if 911 you'd like it its getting good sorry they killed your "favorite " character off but 911 isnt going anywhere and will be under great direction from chimney

Please don't bring 911 into 911 Nashville. 911 has gotten awful and will sully the chances of success for 911 Nashville.

Not gonna lie...9-1-1: Nashville...is lame. The storylines...the lack of chemistry amongst the characters...the actors deserve better scripts.

I completely disagree with you. I watch it BECAUSE of tge chemistry

I would love to see some of the 911 Lone Star characters guest star on 911 Nashville, especially Judd. But a crossover with the original 911? No. It has gone off the deep end since they killed Bobby. And I didn't watch the show as a Bobby fanatic. Things have just been luny since this season began. The guy swallowed by a whale, 911 in space? None of which a typical Los Angeles FD would be doing.

I think the crossover with the original 9-1-1 and 9-1-1:Nashville is pretty cool, I cannot wait to see more of what will happen next with the crossovers 🙂

I’m a fan of 911:Nashville, yet a crossover with the original 911 would be the moment I stop watching, because the original has been relying on jump-the-shark gimmicks since Bobby was written off.

911 Nashville is really really bad. Was really excited - but the acting, characters, and vibe are so off. Feels like an overreaction and trying to cater to people that hate “woke” but in reality is completely failing to appeal to that crew too.

It is not bad. It is really really good. Nothing is off about that show at all.

The crossover that would freshen 9-1-1 is with The Rookie or High Potential. Find a way to make that happen

Crossover with Lonestar is great! 911 is horrible; it’s gone downhill since they got rid of Bobby!
Get rid of Rhimes on Nashville

I did too. Bobby was the character that connected everyone. I watched it from the very beginning, watched 911: Lonestar for all 5 seasons, but after the slap in the face of killing off Bobby & canceling Lonestar, I'm done with that franchise. It's just not the same. Other people can say all they want, but the original is 💩 now & I watched the 1st couple episodes of Nashville & couldn't get interested!!

They cancelled 911 Lone Star and replaced it with this? 911 the original was the best, but after they killed off Bobby, it is not the same. I haven't watched it much this season. It's just gone off the rails 911 in space? Horrible.

I think a crossover of all 3 911's would be great. But, I really would like to see a crossover of the original 911 and The Rookie. After all both shows have them in Los Angeles.
-

Not a fan, 911 Lonestar was a much better show, but 911 the original was the best, but it's not the same without Bobby.

It would create more interesting story line

I think it would be great! I like all the shows, It would be very interesting 😉
-

I think it would be great to see crossovers, it would create more interesting story lines for all the show, in real-time that's what happens,If emergencies happens in a city or state near by are emergency help each other, ,That's great

I like 911 Nashville better than the others 911 shows. I don't see the need for crossovers. This show doesn't need that.

Bring back the drunk girl!

The lone Star and original is full of woke which we definitely don't need in our shows .not family friendly when they do that .
