The highly anticipated series 9-1-1: Nashville is set to debut on ABC this fall, featuring a vibrant cast made up of seasoned television stars, a beloved country music icon, and emerging talent like Hunter McVey. This new installment in Ryan Murphy’s successful 9-1-1 franchise promises a gripping blend of thrilling first responder action alongside a compelling family drama, all set against the lively backdrop of Nashville, known for its diversity and dynamic culture.
At the helm of this project are executive producers Ryan Murphy, Tim Minear, and Rashad Raisani, who have previously worked on other installments of the franchise. Leading the cast is Chris O’Donnell, famously known from NCIS: Los Angeles, taking on the role of Don Sharpe—a fire captain who balances running the firehouse with his duties as a rodeo rider and father.
Joining O’Donnell are notable actors such as LeAnn Rimes, Jessica Capshaw, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Hailey Kilgore, Michael Provost, and Juani Feliz, enhancing the show’s appeal to a variety of audiences. The character that has caught particular attention is Blue, played by newcomer Hunter McVey. Described as “a haunted bad boy now turned firefighter,” Blue is suspected to be the son of Rimes’ character, tying into the singer’s own music legacy with the name, which references her 1996 album.
McVey, who is making his on-screen debut, has already made waves as a model and influencer, boasting a significant online following. His personal narrative includes his journey as a fitness influencer, and he actively shares insights into his life through social media platforms, including Instagram and TikTok.
Enthusiasts eager to get to know him before the show’s premiere can explore his content, including a detailed YouTube video where he shares his life story and hosts a podcast titled “Wholesome Degenerate,” diving into personal and transformative experiences.
9-1-1: Nashville is set to make its splash on ABC in fall 2025, with fans anxiously awaiting an official premiere date to tune in to this exciting new chapter in the 9-1-1 legacy.
