After the cancellation of “9-1-1: Lone Star” at Fox, there’s a new series coming to Ryan Murphy’s emergency responder franchise: “9-1-1: Nashville,” set to premiere on ABC during the 2025-2026 season.
The news follows Variety‘s October report that a new “9-1-1” spinoff was in the works.
Though plot and casting details are yet to be shared, it can be assumed that the new “9-1-1” spinoff, like the flagship series and “Lone Star, will follow the work and personal lives of a team of first responders, this time in Tennessee.
“9-1-1” was created by Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear and premiered on Fox in 2018 before moving to ABC for its seventh season in 2024. Currently on its eighth season, the series is set in Los Angeles and stars Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, Oliver Stark, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ryan Guzman, Aisha Hinds, Kenneth Choi and Gavin McHugh.
Texas-set spinoff “9-1-1: Lone Star” premiered on Fox in 2020 and concluded in 2025, though the cancellation was driven by complications around Disney owning 20th Television, the studio that produces the franchise, while airing the series on Fox rather than ABC — not a lack of viewership.
“9-1-1: Nashville” will be executive produced by Murphy; Bassett, who has executive produced both previous series; Minear and Rashad Raisani, who serve as writers alongside Murphy; and Falchuk.
Other upcoming series from Murphy include sitcom “Mid-Century Modern” and legal drama “All’s Fair” on Hulu as well as “American Love Story” about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette and sci-fi series “The Beauty” on FX. He is also behind the FX series “American Horror Story,” “American Horror Stories,” “American Crime Story,” “American Sports Story,” “Feud” and “Grotesquerie”; ABC’s “Doctor Odyssey”; and Netflix’s “Monster” and “The Watcher.”
