9‑1‑1: Nashville to star Chris O'Donnell in lead cast. Here's when it releases
The 9‑1‑1 franchise is getting bigger this year. After the success of the original 9‑1‑1 and its spinoff Lone Star, ABC is rolling out a brand new show called 9‑1‑1: Nashville. The new series will bring the fast-paced, emotional world of first responders to the heart of Tennessee, while also adding a deeper focus on family, music, and Southern life.

According to Variety, the spinoff mixes the usual high-stakes rescue scenes fans love with a new twist — following a family of firefighters who also happen to be local heroes in the Nashville community. This includes dramatic rescues, personal struggles, and even some musical elements, since one of the characters is a singing firefighter.

Chris O'Donnell stars as Don Sharpe, a former rodeo champion turned fire captain who leads Nashville's busiest fire station. His son, played by Michael Provost, works right beside him, which adds family tension and emotion. Jessica Capshaw plays Blythe Sharpe, Don's strong and supportive wife. The cast also includes LeAnn Rimes, Hailey Kilgore, Juani Feliz, and Hunter McVey in key roles.
According to Deadline, one early scene that grabbed attention featured an Airstream trailer dangling over a Nashville bridge, so it looks like action will not be in short supply.
