It's safe to say that 911: Nashville is one of the most highly-anticipated shows of the upcoming 2025 - 2026 TV season. Set to air on ABC as part of its TGIT Thursdays, the series is a spinoff of juggernaut 911, which also returns for its ninth season. And after that fiery first teaser trailer gave fans a glimpse of what to expect from it, things are heating up in the casting department.
The show already has some major names attached to it, with Chris O'Donnell, Jessica Capshaw, Kimberly Williams-Paisley and LeAnn Rimes all set to play series regular roles, but it has begun building out the rest of the cast too. And that has made us even more excited for what's to come.
911: Nashville adds four new cast members in series regular roles
911: Nashville has made four big additions to its cast. As reported by TVLine, Hailey Kilgore is the first of them and she joins the show in the role of Taylor; a firefighter who is also a really good singer. Kilgore's previous credits include Power Book III: Raising Kanan and the Broadway revival of Once On This Island, for which she was nominated for a Tony Award.
Michael Provost has been cast as Ryan. Described as a modern-day cowboy, who also happens to be a firefighter, Ryan sounds like he will be breaking some hearts on his weekly adventures. Provost is best-known for his roles as Brick Armstrong in Insatiable and as Eli in The Sex Lives of College Girls but he has also appeared in episodes of All Rise, Quantum Leap, and Lucifer.
Juani Feliz is set to play the role of Roxie, a former trauma surgeon (and adrenaline junkie). Each of the 911 shows have had characters with more medical experience than their firefighter colleagues, so it looks like Roxie will be following in the footsteps of 911's Hen Wilson, Eddie Diaz, and Chimney, and 911: Lone Star's Captain Tommy Vega, TK Strand, Captain Michelle Blake, and Nancy Gillian. Feliz is best-known for her role as Isabela Benitez-Santiago in Harlem and she was set to play a role in The Equalizer spinoff which ultimately wasn't picked up by CBS.
Last but not least, we have influencer Hunter McVey who looks to shake things up in his on-screen acting debut as Blue, a haunted bad boy who has since become a firefighter. That sounds pretty ominous but, as we've seen in previous 911 shows, it's often the most troubled of the crew who end up with the most intriguing character journeys.
With a star-studded cast already, these new additions round out Nashville's series regulars to eight. We have firefighters, singers, and potential family members; the perfect combination for a 911 series that promises plenty of unique dynamics.
The Ryan Murphy TV franchise has been incredibly successful since the mothership's launch on FOX in 2018. During that time, it enjoyed six successful seasons and launched its first spinoff 911: Lone Star - which just recently ended after five seasons. But after a move to ABC, the 911 franchise is thriving, enjoying even more success, staging a crossover with fellow Ryan Murphy show Doctor Odyssey and now launching another spinoff.
It's a good time to be a 911 fan, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for the characters of 911: Nashville.
