    9-1-1: Nashville is an American procedural drama television series created by Rashad Raisani for ABC. It is the latest spin-off to the original 9-1-1 series and is set in the same universe, along with 9-1-1: Lone Star. Revolving around the firefighters, paramedics, and dispatchers in Nashville, the show premieres in the United States on Thursday, October 9, 2025. 

    The narrative follows the emergency responders of Nashville at their job, while also exploring the personal and family drama that unfolds around them. In the premiere, a powerful tornado hits during a country music festival, prompting Captain Don Hart (Chris O'Donnell) and his team at Fire Station 113 into action. As he leads dangerous rescues, Don also holds a secret that threatens his family.

    The show's teaser raises the possibility of crossovers with the original series. After Buck actor Oliver Stark from the original 9-1-1 posted a picture of himself with the Nashville ensemble on Instagram and series star McVey reposted it, fan ideas began to circulate. The spinoff keeps close creative ties to its predecessor, even as fans anxiously await confirmation of character crossovers.
