‘9-1-1: Nashville’: ABC Spinoff Unveils Explosive New Teaser

Appropriately set to a cover of Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire”, ABC has released an explosive new teaser for 9-1-1: Nashville, which shows fiery tornados racing across Music City, apparently the spinoff’s first disaster for the city’s emergency response team.

As in previous iterations of 9-1-1, the new spinoff is an action procedural about heroic first responders, which also weaves in a family saga of power and glamour set in Tennessee.

9-1-1: Nashville stars stars Chris O’Donnell as Captain Don Sharpe, along with Jessica Capshaw, LeAnn Rimes and Kimberly Williams-Paisley.

9-1-1: Nashville is produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television. Murphy, Minear and Rashad Raisani will serve as executive producers and writers, with O’Donnell, Brad Buecker, Brad Falchuk and Bassett also executive producing.

Watch on Deadline

Craig Erwich, president, Disney Television Group, spoke with Deadline last month about the upcoming spinoff.

“I think that the 9-1-1 team are truly the masters of event-izing television, the way that be-nado kicked off 9-1-1 last year,” Erwich said. “They have a really special event planned for 9-1-1: Nashville, and although we haven’t discussed [crossovers], I think it’s an incredible opportunity that I’m sure at some point we’ll figure out how to capitalize on. What the 9-1-1‘s been able to do, it’s really a master class in television, which is consistently event-izing that show to keep it fresh after all these many years, my hat’s off to [showrunner] Tim {Minear] and Ryan for that.”

9-1-1: Nashville premieres this fall on ABC.
