Nashville's 9-1-1 executive producer previews upcoming 'outlandish incidents,' but I'm more intrigued by the series he mentions in passing.
Get ready for an exciting new addition to the 9-1-1 franchise! The upcoming spinoff, titled 9-1-1: Nashville, is set to premiere on ABC on Thursday, October 9 at 9 p.m. ET.
This new series will take viewers to a bustling firehouse in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee. Expect high-stakes emergency rescues typical of the franchise, but with a twist. Beyond the rescue scenes, the show will delve into personal struggles, family drama, and musical elements, as one character is a singing firefighter.
Showrunner Rashad Raisani, who previously showran Lone Star, has emphasised that 9-1-1: Nashville will differ from previous 9-1-1 shows by incorporating a soap opera style of storytelling, with a tone inspired by Succession and Dynasty. This means there will be intense family drama and secrets, such as the major plotline hinting that two main characters, Ryan Hart and Blue Bennings, may be half-brothers.
Central to the storyline is veteran firefighter Captain Don Sharpe, his wife Blythe, and their son Ryan. The show will explore class tension and interpersonal conflicts blending personal and professional life, as Blythe comes from a wealthy family that disapproves of Don, a blue-collar firefighter.
Raisani has also revealed that the series will be more dramatic than its sister shows, with emergency-related drama not being the only thing in store. Viewers can expect true thrills on 9-1-1: Nashville, with exciting emergencies including a fire tornado.
If you're a fan of Succession and Dynasty, you'll enjoy the intricate soap opera elements and similar vibe that 9-1-1: Nashville brings. And for those who have been following the original 9-1-1 series, there may be a crossover event in the works.
For those who want an ad-free experience, customers can pay an additional $19.99 a month for the ad-free option of the Disney Plus + Hulu Bundle. A Hulu subscription is all that's needed to stream the 9-1-1 shows, and it can be bundled with Disney+ for only $10.99 a month. The series will be streaming the next day with a Hulu subscription.
So, mark your calendars for October 9 and get ready for a thrilling ride with 9-1-1: Nashville!
