Chris O'Donnell Reveals Nixed Plan to Rescue NCIS: LA's Hetty, Previews His 9-1-1: Nashville Spinoff Role — WATCH
Though he has been busy booking and prepping for a lead role in ABC's Nashville-set 9-1-1 spinoff, Chris O'Donnell has gotten wind of the recent developments in his NCIS: Los Angeles character's life. TVLine spoke with O'Donnell on the blue carpet at Disney's recent Upfront presentation, and at the 1:30 mark in the video above, I ask if he had heard that NCIS: LA's Callen is now expecting a baby with wife Anna.

John Oliver Urges ABC to Keep Doctor Odyssey, Mocks 'Premise-Defying' Season 8 Renewal for The Rookie Grey's Anatomy's Hot New Doc: Did Your First Impression Leave You Wanting Seconds? O'Donnell shares his reaction to the news of G's growing family, after which we talk about the other update we got via LL Cool J's recent NCIS visit — about Office of Special Projects boss Hetty Lange, who was MIA for much of the CBS series' final season and, per Sam Hanna, last was spotted on the wrong side of a DMZ. When I inform O'Donnell about NCIS: LA fans' desire for proper closure on the Hetty front, he lets loose about a TV-movie idea that he and others pitched at the time of the dual Hollywood strikes that came not long after the high-octane series' May 2023 finale. What brought O'Donnell to the Disney Upfront was his role in ABC's 9-1-1: Nashville, airing Thursdays at 9/8c this fall, and in which he plays 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.' At the top of the video above, O'Donnell shares the little he knows about thus far about Don — 9-1-1: Nashville doesn't start filming until June — but he does note some differences from NCIS: LA's Callen. In a separate video, below, glowing Grey's Anatomy alum Jessica Capshaw previews her own 9-1-1: Nashville role, as O'Donnell's TV wife Blythe, and whether she is up for some crooning and/or a little two-step once the series debuts this fall.

Tom Ellis to Lead FBI/CIA Team-Up Spinoff Ordered at CBS
CBS is ready to dance with the devil. TVLine has learned that Lucifer headliner Tom Ellis has landed one of the two leads in CBS' 'FBI Universe Expansion,' which pairs a G-man with a CIA agent and has been officially ordered to series for the 2025-26 TV season. More from TVLine Sam Hanna's NCIS Visit Brought Several NCIS: LA Updates - Including the Latest on Hetty! Ghosts' Asher Grodman Explains Trevor's The Cutting Edge Obsession Exclusive NCIS: Origins Photos: Gibbs Faces the Music in Powerful Season Finale - Will Lala Have His Back? Formerly titled FBI: CIA but now going by just CIA 🤷🏻♂️, the procedural follows two unlikely partners — a fast-talking, rule-breaking loose cannon CIA case officer (played by Ellis), and a yet-to-be-cast, by-the-book, seasoned and smart FBI agent who believes in the rule of law. 'When this odd couple are assigned to work out of CIA's New York Station,' the official synopsis reads, 'they must learn to work together to investigate cases and criminals posing threats on U.S. soil, finding that their differences may actually be their strength.' Ellis' previous TV credits also include Tell Me Lies, Rush, Miranda, EastEnders and Hulu's upcoming Washington Black. Originally, this addition to the FBI universe was going to air a backdoor pilot this spring, as an episode/proper spinoff of the FBI mothership. Instead, it has been ordered straight to series. When TVLine spoke to FBI star Zeeko Zaki back in March, a friend of his had auditioned for this new series, 'so I got to see some of the writing, and it's really, really, really strongly written,' he shared. 'With the banter between the [FBI and CIA] agents, it's going to be a different dynamic. It's going to be really cool.' 20+ Broadcast Series Yet to Be Renewed — Which Do You Want Saved? View List The prolific Dick Wolf, showrunner David Hudgins (FBI: Most Wanted), Nicole Perlman (Captain Marvel) and David Chasteen (former CIA officer/Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan technical consultant) will serve as writing executive producers on the Universal Television/Wolf Entertainment/CBS Studios co-production; Peter Jankowski will be a non-writing EP. CIA (working title) is but one of many spinoffs/'universe expansions' in the CBS/Paramount pipeline. Fire Country already begat Sheriff Country (starring Morena Baccarin and debuting during this fall) and potentially a Jared Padalecki-led Fire Country: Surfside; the Donnie Wahlberg-led Blue Bloods offshoot Boston Blue is set to premiere this fall; The Neighborhood has not one but two offshoots in the works, the former of which is earmarked for Paramount+; The Equalizer just aired a backdoor spinoff pilot led by Titus Welliver; and the NCIS-verse's latest addition, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, will premiere on Paramount+ this fall. On the flip side, CBS is losing two spinoffs: FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International, both of which got cancelled back in March.

Survivor Season 48 will kick off with a two-hour premiere in Wednesday, Feb. 26, to be followed by weekly 90-minute outings.

FBI: International's Vinessa Vidotto Opens Up About Vo's Fate (‘It Was a Surprise') and the One Scene She Will ‘Never Forget'
The following contains spoilers from the Jan 28 winter premiere of CBS' . Fans of FBI: International's Special Agent Cameron Vo were really put through the wringer this winter, having to wait six long weeks to see if she would survive being shot during the fall finale's manhunt for Greg Csonka. More from TVLine Exclusive Tracker Trailer: First Look at Colter Shaw's Return in Midseason Premiere - Here's When It Airs FBI's John Boyd Talks 'Emotional' Scola Story - and Improving on That NCIS: LA Chase Scene Pet Peeve NCIS: Origins' Kyle Schmid Talks Launch of Franks' 'Heart-Wrenching' Backstory, Monday-Night Watch Parties With Wife Caity Lotz And even when the winter premiere rolled around on Tuesday night, the outlook was not good. Vo was 'stable,' the surgeon reported at the top of the hour, 'but to due to extensive soft tissue damage near her collarbone, the frisk of infection is extremely high. And 'if an infection does take hold, especially in that area…,' well, the doctor couldn't even bring herself to finish that thought. When all was said and done, some 40 minutes (and the fatal shooting of Csonka later), Raines, Smitty et al got the good word from Celeste, who was camped out at the hospital. 'Cameron is in recovery. She's going to be OK!' The Fly Team raised a glass to that news, and so did we, at least in spirit. Here, original cast member Vinessa Vidotto opens up about sweating out V's fate herself, and more. TVLINE | When you received the script for the previous episode, where Vo gets shot, were you given a heads-up on where this was going on, what her arc would be?Nope. Nope. [Laughs] Yeah. It was a surprise. [Laughs more] TVLINE | Oh my God…It's shocking. It's exciting. I was intrigued, because the way I went down was worth it, because it was such a good script, it was so delicious. And it wasn't hard to perform. There are some challenging days as an actor if the scene is difficult or whatever it may be, but those scenes that I got to do before he 'kills' me/shoots me, I was like, 'OK, that's the way I want to go down. Worth it!' TVLINE | When we come back in the next episode, is there going to be a bit of a time jump, or will Vo be riding a desk for a bit? Her injury was pretty severe,There's going to be a time jump. With this show and with what the Fly Team is, we move very fast and you've got to move on. It's like SEAL Team Six, if you cant recover quickly and you're not mentally strong to recover, then I think you can't be on the Fy Team. You have to be very resilient and move forward. Of course, it would be nice to see the recovery and vulnerable moments, but… Vo is also just hungry. She can't sit around, she wants to help in any way she can. She feels like maybe she's got to prove herself again. But maybe she's too hard on herself? TVLINE | The team was so worried about her. Poor Raines was on edge!I know. I know. I saw that scene where they're all watery-eyed outside the hospital. I was not expecting that because I was inside the hospital, laying on the ambulance bed. I didn't know what they were filming out there, so when I watched that I was like, 'Oh!' TVLINE | Is Vo changed at all by this cheating of death? Will there be any PTS?I don't know if we'll see it, but as with anybody I'm sure that if you've been shot and almost died, that affects you in some way. You'll see life in a very different way. TVLINE | Your co-stars all got a field trip to France for this episode? They did! TVLINE | But you , since you were not in I could have [gone to France] but I went back to L.A. to stock up on deodorant that you can't get over here in Europe and what not. TVLINE | The 'good stuff'?The good stuff. TVLINE | What else can you tease about the back half of the season?Just that it's bigger and better. I know every show says that, and everybody says that, but I kid you not it gets bigger and crazier, because it's FBI: International. And once you go big, you can't go smaller. And there's just so much opportunity out here in Europe to do wild, crazy storylines. You saw in [Episode] 8 a fire truck literally rammed into a cop car. Like, who gets to write that? 'Yeah, I want a fire truck to hit a police car.' 'Yes, we can do that, for network TV.' Crazy. TVLINE | Is there any early buzz on the finale? Any gossip?No. And if I knew, I wouldn't tell you. TVLINE | Let's see, you already blew up the team's headquarters…. And for last season's finale—We were on a ski jump! [The finale was filmed on location at the Olympic ski jump site in Holmenkollbakken]. We were in Oslo on a legit ski jump. And there was wind. Real wind. But then we also had the fans going, so it was wind on wind. I was like, 'That's a wind-wind situation!' [Laughs] And it was raining, so the rain was slanted, right? And then there was a huge helicopter [added later with VFX], so we have to, like, 'shoot' at it, and our director was like holding his little monitor, jumping around. I'm not in that shot for that one, so me and Carter [Redwood] are in the back just cracking up. We were like, 'I cannot believe this is our job.' We're on a ski jump in Norway, our director is jumping up and down like crazy, we're pretending there's a helicopter in the sky, we have these guns…. It was so funny and amazing and something I will never of TVLine Yellowjackets' Tawny Cypress Talks Episode 4's Tai/Van Reunion: 'We're All Worried About Taissa' Vampire Diaries Turns 10: How Real-Life Plot Twists Shaped Everything From the Love Triangle to the Final Death Vampire Diaries' Biggest Twists Revisited (and Explained)
