9-1-1: Nashville Cast Suits Up in First-Look Photos, Plus Everything Else We Know About ABC's 9-1-1 Spinoff
The 113 is officially ready for action. ABC has released first-look photos of the 9-1-1: Nashville cast, formally introducing eager fans to their soon-to-be-favorite first responders. And while the 9-1-1 franchise has thrown plenty of natural disasters in the paths of its dedicated men and women over the years, from an earthquake to a tsunami to an asteroid — but a flaming tornado? That's definitely a new one. More from TVLine Casting News: Will Trent Ups Kevin Daniels to Regular, Strangers With Candy Reunion and More Rena Sofer Is Leaving Los Angeles - But Is Lois Cerullo Also Leaving General Hospital? Casting News: 9-1-1: Nashville Books Kane Brown, Patrick Dempsey's Fox Drama Adds 2 and More The first official promo for 9-1-1: Nashville finds a fiery twister touching down in Music City, implying it to be the first disaster facing its firefighters this fall. Watch the promo below: 'There were a lot of possibilities that had been talked about,' 9-1-1: Nashville executive producer Tim Minear tells TVLine, explaining that the setting was ultimately chosen for two reasons. 'One, I think that it's a really interesting city with its own personality. It's very unlike Austin. We did kind of a red state 9-1-1 [with Lone Star], but Austin is a very blue town. Nashville felt even a little bit more Southern. It also has the country music industry, and it just felt like it could be a fun place to set a piece of the franchise.' The second reason is a bit more practical. 'Quite frankly, Tennessee is very production-friendly,' Minear adds. 'That also factored into our reasoning. There are some states that you think would be fantastic places to set the show, but it's just not cost effective to do it.' 9-1-1: Nashville is also being executive-produced by Ryan Murphy, former 9-1-1: Lone Star showrunner Rashad Raisani, Brad Falchuk, Chad Lowe and Angela Bassett. Read on for a breakdown of everything (and everyone) we know about 9-1-1: Nashville, then drop a comment with your own thoughts and hopes for the franchise's next chapter. Chris O'Donnell as Don Sharpe Chris O'Donnell (NCIS: Los Angeles) is set to star in the highly anticipated spinoff. He will play Captain Don Sharpe, 'a rugged fire captain and rodeo rider who runs Nashville's busiest firehouse with his beloved son,' according to the official character breakdown. 'Don's a devoted husband and family man but he has his secrets.' Jessica Capshaw as Blythe Sharpe Former Grey's Anatomy star Jessica Capshaw was the second addition to the cast, stepping into the role of Don's (O'Donnell) wife Blythe. She's in the horse racing business, which is a natural fit for Capshaw, who 'grew up riding' and is still 'around horses all the time.' 'She's everything you want to be, and you want to talk to your daughters about being,' Capshaw tells TVLine. 'She's this equal mix of strong and smart and strategic and ambitious. At the same time, she's incredibly warm and holding everyone together and making sure that everyone's feeling good. She's the empath and the conductor at the same time. It's going to be very fun to see how that plays out.' LeAnn Rimes as Dixie Bennings The country singer is making her series-regular TV debut in the role of Dixie Bennings, though we still don't have very much on-the-record information about the character. During an interview with TVLine's sister site Flow Space, Rimes revealed that Dixie is a mother, something the show's crew apparently found difficult to believe. 'They were like, 'Oh, wow, we heard you're going to be playing a mom. What? There's no way you're old enough to play a mom!'' Rimes recalled. Kimberly Williams-Paisley as Cammie Raleigh The former Nashville star is returning to Music City, this time playing a dispatcher named Cammie. Michael Provost as Ryan Provost stars plays Don and Blythe's son Ryan, a firefighter and modern-day cowboy. Hailey Kilgore as Taylor Kilgore plays Taylor, a firefighter and incredible singer. Juani Feliz as Roxie Feliz plays Roxie, a former trauma surgeon and total adrenaline junkie. Hunter McVey as Blue McVey plays Blue, a haunted bad boy-turned-firefighter. When Will 9-1-1: Nashville Premiere on ABC? The series premiere of 9-1-1: Nashville will air Thursday, Oct. 9 at 9/8c on ABC, sandwiched between the Season 9 premiere of 9-1-1 (8 pm) and the Season 22 premiere of Grey's Anatomy (10 pm). (The premiere was originally set for Oct. 16, but ABC bumped it up a week.) Will 9-1-1: Nashville Have Crossovers With 9-1-1? 9-1-1: Lone Star only staged one full crossover with 9-1-1 during its five-season run, along with a FaceTime cameo from Angela Bassett's Athena. Logistics were blamed for the lack of interaction between the two shows, and it doesn't sound like we can hope for much better with 9-1-1: Nashville. 'It's just not something we're thinking about right now,' Minear says. That said, Oliver Stark got the fandom speculating in early August 2025 when he posted an Instagram story from — you guessed it — Nashville. Perhaps the plans have changed. Will Any 9-1-1: Lone Star Characters Join 9-1-1: Nashville? With 9-1-1: Lone Star having reached what many fans consider to be an early conclusion, it could be fun for a few characters to continue their stories on the spinoff. Fun… but not likely. 'I have no current plans for that,' Minear tells TVLine. 'But it's not impossible!' For what it's worth, Rob Lowe recently expressed his desire to make an appearance as Owen Strand, his character from Lone Star. 'I'll have to ask Chad Lowe, my brother,' Lowe said. 'Chad Lowe is the executive producer, director of 9-1-1 Nashville. So I'm just waiting for my phone to ring. I mean, you know, I hired him on Lone Star. I think turnabout is fair play.' What Role Will Music Play on 9-1-1: Nashville? Though he can't say how quite yet, Minear confirms that music will 'absolutely' factor into 9-1-1: Nashville. What, you thought they'd set a show in literal 'Music City' and not let anyone pick up a guitar? LeAnn Rimes will obviously take center stage, but we wouldn't be surprised to also see Hailey Kilgore's character Taylor (an 'incredible singer') find her way into the spotlight at some point.

9-1-1: Nashville's LeAnn Rimes Reveals Surprising Detail About Her Character: ‘There's No Way!'
Much about LeAnn Rimes' character on 9-1-1: Nashville remains a mystery, but thanks to a new interview with TVLine sister site Flow Space, at least we know what she'll smell like! (Yes, you read that correctly.) In preparation for her first series-regular TV role, Rimes reveals that she has created a signature scent 'in honor' of her new character — a blend of rosewood, tobacco, leather, black pepper and the wood scent oud. 'Fragrance is super-emotional for me,' the singer says, likening it to music in that way. More from TVLine New Rookie Spinoff Inching Closer to Pilot Order - Who Would You Cast in Lead Role?

According to Rimes, the crew on 9-1-1: Nashville found this tough to swallow: 'They were like, 'Oh, wow, we heard you're going to be playing a mom. What? There's no way you're old enough to play a mom!'' Meanwhile, Rimes has been running lines with husband Eddie Cibrian, whose experience with TV procedurals ranges from Third Watch to CSI: Miami. 'I get really nervous doing that in front of him, but he's been super helpful,' she admits. Premiering this fall on ABC, 9-1-1: Nashville stars Chris O'Donnell as Captain Don Sharpe, with Jessica Capshaw as Don's horse-whispering wife Blythe and Michael Provost as their son Ryan. The cast also includes Hailey Kilgore as singing firefighter Taylor, Juani Feliz as trauma surgeon-turned-firefighter Roxie, Hunter McVey as bad-boy firefighter Blue, and Kimberly Williams-Paisley is a yet-undisclosed role.

‘9-1-1: Nashville': ABC Spinoff Unveils Explosive New Teaser
Appropriately set to a cover of Johnny Cash's 'Ring of Fire', ABC has released an explosive new teaser for 9-1-1: Nashville, which shows fiery tornados racing across Music City, apparently the spinoff's first disaster for the city's emergency response team. As in previous iterations of 9-1-1, the new spinoff is an action procedural about heroic first responders, which also weaves in a family saga of power and glamour set in Tennessee. More from Deadline Ryan Murphy Teases Sarah Paulson's 'AHS' Return: "Cooking Up Something Cool" 2025 Premiere Dates For New & Returning Series On Broadcast, Cable & Streaming Rob Lowe Open To '9-1-1' Return As Brother Chad Lowe EPs 'Nashville' Spinoff: "Just Waiting For My Phone To Ring" 9-1-1: Nashville stars stars Chris O'Donnell as Captain Don Sharpe, along with Jessica Capshaw, LeAnn Rimes and Kimberly Williams-Paisley. 9-1-1: Nashville is produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television. Murphy, Minear and Rashad Raisani will serve as executive producers and writers, with O'Donnell, Brad Buecker, Brad Falchuk and Bassett also executive producing. Craig Erwich, president, Disney Television Group, spoke with Deadline last month about the upcoming spinoff. 'I think that the 9-1-1 team are truly the masters of event-izing television, the way that be-nado kicked off 9-1-1 last year,' Erwich said. 'They have a really special event planned for 9-1-1: Nashville, and although we haven't discussed [crossovers], I think it's an incredible opportunity that I'm sure at some point we'll figure out how to capitalize on. What the 9-1-1's been able to do, it's really a master class in television, which is consistently event-izing that show to keep it fresh after all these many years, my hat's off to [showrunner] Tim {Minear] and Ryan for that.' 9-1-1: Nashville premieres this fall on ABC.
