9-1-1: Nashville — Here's Everything We Know About the ABC Spinoff So Far
9-1-1 is headed back down south, y'all! ABC has confirmed that the first-responder franchise's next installment will be set in Nashville, Tenn., aka 'Music City.'
'There were a lot of possibilities that had been talked about,' 9-1-1 showrunner Tim Minear tells TVLine, explaining that the setting was ultimately chosen for two reasons. 'One, I think that it's a really interesting city with its own personality. It's very unlike Austin. We did kind of a red state 9-1-1 [with Lone Star], but Austin is a very blue town. Nashville felt even a little bit more Southern. It also has the country music industry, and it just felt like it could be a fun place to set a piece of the franchise.'

The second reason is a bit more practical. 'Quite frankly, Tennessee is very production-friendly,' Minear adds. 'That also factored into our reasoning. There are some states that you think would be fantastic places to set the show, but it's just not cost effective to do it.'

9-1-1: Nashville is being executive-produced by Ryan Murphy, Minear, former 9-1-1: Lone Star showrunner Rashad Raisani, Brad Falchuk and Angela Bassett. Even though the spinoff is still in early development, we've managed to gather some intel about what to expect from the franchise's third installment.
Read on for a breakdown of everything we know about 9-1-1: Nashville, then drop a comment with your own thoughts and hopes for the franchise's next chapter.
9-1-1: Nashville is set to premiere sometime during ABC's 2025-26 season, but a specific premiere date is not yet known.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Because 9-1-1: Nashville was just ordered to series in February, we don't know which characters we can expect to see — and we definitely don't know who will be playing them. (That said, TVLine's Ryan Schwartz is gunning for TV icon John Stamos to lead this new team, and we don't hate the idea.)
With 9-1-1: Lone Star having reached what many fans consider to be an early conclusion, it could be fun for a few characters to continue their stories on the spinoff. Fun… but not likely.
'I have no current plans for that,' Minear tells TVLine. 'But it's not impossible!'
That would be a no. Minear confirms to TVLine that the cast of 9-1-1: Nashville installment will not be introduced early via a backdoor pilot on 9-1-1. We'll have to wait until the first episode to see the new team in action.
Though he can't say how quite yet, Minear confirms that music will 'absolutely' factor into 9-1-1: Nashville. What, you thought they'd set a show in literal 'Music City' and not let anyone pick up a guitar? Don't be surprised if one of the first responders — or more likely one of their significant others — winds up on stage at the Bluebird before the first season is over.
9-1-1: Lone Star only staged one full crossover with 9-1-1 during its five-season run, along with a FaceTime cameo from Angela Bassett's Athena. Logistics were blamed for the lack of interaction between the two shows, and it doesn't sound like we can hope for much better with 9-1-1: Nashville.
'It's just not something we're thinking about right now,' Minear says.

Maren Morris Says She Realized Divorce Is 'Weird' When Her Mutual Friends with Ex Ryan Hurd Chose 'Sides'
Maren Morris opened up about pals picking "sides" after her divorce from ex Ryan Hurd Morris said their mutual friends had to choose out of "respect for each other" and she figured it would be "weird for the first few years" The "Girl" singer filed for divorce in October 2023; it was finalized in January 2024Maren Morris is opening up about the intricacies of divorce. During an appearance on Therapuss with Jake Shane on Wednesday, June 18, the "My Church" singer got candid about going through a divorce in a "small town" like Nashville — where she and ex Ryan Hurd have mutual friends. 'In Nashville, you know I've been divorced for a little over a year now. It's a small town, and we're all friends, and we all work together, and the music industry is very tiny there," Morris, 35, said of Hurd, 38. Though the exes are "really friendly," she said it's "weird" because their friends had to "pick sides." "Just in terms of respect for each other," she said. "I saw a really close friend of my ex's at a bar a couple months ago, and I was with my best friend. We all used to hang out together for a decade or more and then it's like, 'Damn, it's just going to be kind of weird.' Maybe it's just going to be weird for the first few years." Morris and Hurd — who share 5-year-old son Hayes — met in 2013 when they wrote "Last Turn Home" for Tim McGraw, but their romance didn't blossom until a few years later. They married in March 2018. Morris filed for divorce in October 2023, and the exes reached a settlement agreement three months later. They finalized their divorce in January 2024. On Therapuss, Morris said that as she got older, she realized people who aren't "energetically aligned" started to "fade away" from her life. "I have these people who have been my ride or dies but I feel like COVID changed a lot of people, when I had my son I could feel people fall away," she continued. "I think when you have kids sometimes... I think as a new mother it's already such a lonely time and you're very isolated plus it was COVID. But I certainly made friends who are moms through the process." Morris' comments come after she made an appearance on the Dear Chelsea podcast and revealed she and Hurd were able to move past a lot of their problems to put their son first. "We're over a year out now ... we get along now and have moved past a lot of it," Morris said. "We're neighbors, and I'm just so fortunate that we have put our son above each other's s---, and it's better for the two of us if we're getting along." "I'm lucky that we love each other so much still," she said. "We have the highest respect, but also there is that devastation that two people [who] love each other that much can't make it work in the real world. It's always going to be multifaceted."

Hollywood and Obama should be judged for covering up Joe Biden's frailty
One year ago this month, attendees packed the 7,100 seats inside the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles to watch a parade of A-list celebrities — George Clooney! Julia Roberts! Barbra Streisand! — unite in a common goal: to raise more money for President Biden's re-election campaign than had ever before been tallied for a single fundraising event. By that standard the evening was a smashing success: Over $30 million, a record, was raised. 6 George Clooney, Joe Biden, Julia Roberts and Barack Obama at the Los Angeles fundraiser last June 15th, the beginning of the end of the wide-scale cover-up of Biden's inability to maintain his presidential campaign. X/Chris Jackson 'How important the event was to his re-election bid could be seen,' the Associated Press reported, 'in Biden's decision to fly through the night across nine time zones, from the G7 summit in southern Italy to Southern California, to attend.' Advertisement Nothing was left to chance. Outside the Peacock, riot police ringed the Gaza protesters; inside, the biggest weapon was rolled out. Former President Barack Obama appeared onstage with his old No. 2, the pair of presidents interviewed by the ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. Their recurring theme: A second Trump presidency would ruin America. Obama called the current moment 'a by-product of 2016,' when, he said, 'a whole bunch of folks . . . sat out . . . Hopefully, we have learned our lesson, because these elections matter.' When Roe v. Wade came up, and the audience hissed, Obama scolded them: 'Don't hiss; vote.' 6 Within weeks of the event at the Peacock Theater, Biden would bow out of the campaign, which passed onto Vice President Kamala Harris. AP Still sharp, still charming, the familiar smile still beguiling, the forty-fourth president deployed all his gifts to urge the high rollers at the Peacock — and by extension, all Americans — to support Biden with money and votes: the most precious commodities a civic-minded American can be asked to invest. Advertisement The only problem was: Biden. At the event's end, as he and Obama waved goodbye with Kimmel, the incumbent became catatonic, just as he had five days earlier, at a Juneteenth concert at the White House. His whole body froze, as if immobilized by a science-fiction ray-gun. Obama had to guide his friend, gently but firmly, off the stage. As the Washington Post later reported, the commander-in-chief, keeper of the nuclear option, appeared 'slow . . . frail.' 'Even with Kimmel posing softball questions, and Obama frequently interjecting to provide support,' the story said, 'Biden struggled to explain key parts of his campaign platform, with attendees saying that the president frequently stumbled over his remarks, trailed off or was simply confusing.' 6 Pres. Obama has staked his post-presidential legacy on moral authority, clarity and legitimacy. His role in clouding Biden's health demands that legacy be reconsidered. AP Advertisement By June 27, Biden's disastrous performance in the CNN debate with former President Trump in Atlanta had triggered an open revolt, with leading Democrats and rank-and-file primary voters clamoring for Biden to withdraw from the contest. Throughout the incumbent's long political death-spiral, former President Obama — who had urged Biden against running in 2016 and 2020, worried the older man might 'embarrass himself' — remained silent. In what the Associated Press called 'the most delicate political moment for Democrats since former President Bill Clinton's impeachment,' Obama was seen struggling 'to balance his role as a party elder and an honest broker for Democrats seeking advice while avoiding being seen as betraying his former vice president.' Missing from this depiction was a key group: the American people. In Biden's season of torment, Obama may have deemed it prudent to keep his own counsel; but that doesn't explain his presence at the Peacock Theater in the first place. Could someone as perceptive and politically astute as Obama, a bestselling memoirist and two-time winner of the Electoral College, really have failed to discern Biden's unfitness until the fundraiser? Advertisement 6 Despite being enabled by sycophantic aides — and his Vice President — Biden's deterioration was well-known among much of Washington. Getty Images And even if that were true, why did Obama wait until after the debate, almost two weeks, before taking action to protect the electorate? By July 11, 'Morning Joe' relayed the whispering of top Democrats who believed Obama was 'working behind the scenes to orchestrate' Biden's withdrawal. In short: What took him so long? Barack Obama entered office with a Gallup approval rating of 67% and, after sinking to 40% in 2011, left office with a robust 59%. Polling on former presidents is scant; but Gallup still has Obama at 59%, while a recent YouGov survey lists him at 62%. 6 Following his humiliating defeat to Ronald Reagan in 1980, Jimmy Carter went on to rehabilitate his legacy via ambitious, progressive humanitarian efforts. Getty Images What does it say for a man who, trusted by so many, colluded in a lie to them — that Joe Biden was fit for office — and moreover participated in an enormous transfer of wealth, $30 million in a single evening, to prop up that lie until it became impossible even for the most deluded souls to believe? Rather than use his enduring appeal to force the Democratic Party to do the right thing in mid-2023 — when Biden was still officially mulling whether to seek re-election — Obama held his tongue and hoped for the best. For the winner of the 2017 Profile in Courage Award, the crucible of 2024 was not a Profile in Courage moment. 6 Biden and Obama on that fateful Peacock Theater stage last June, which raised $30 million. AP Advertisement Obama's historical legacy won't rest entirely on the arc and perceptions of his presidency. His actions since 2017 matter, too; and in covering for Biden for so long, Obama displayed a contempt for our democracy, and his own party, unbefitting of a two-term president. Jimmy Carter's post-presidency helped lift his standing in history. For Barack Obama, at least so far, the narrative runs in the other direction. James Rosen is chief Washington correspondent at Newsmax and the author, most recently, of 'Scalia: Rise to Greatness, 1936-1986.'
