Dialing up a ‘9-1-1' spinoff series

More than a decade after the hit show “Nashville” made its mark on primetime, another ABC series is putting Music City back in the spotlight — only this time, it comes with more sirens.
“9-1-1: Nashville” will be the latest installment in the first responder franchise, which has featured actors like Angela Bassett in the flagship series and Rob Lowe leading the Texas-based spinoff, “9-1-1: Lone Star.”
No cast members have been confirmed, but the series by Ryan Murphy (“Glee” and “American Horror Story”) is set to air on ABC during the 2025-2026 season. It’s also unclear how much will be filmed in Nashville, though a Deadline report said the city “emerged as a front-runner, in part because of a tax credit.”
From a “bee tornado” to a highway shark attack, seemingly no emergency is off limits in the franchise. Let us know who you would like to see star in the show, and we may feature your response in an upcoming newsletter.
