What to expect from 9-1-1: Nashville season 1
9-1-1: Nashville maintains the franchise’s signature mix of high-stakes rescues and emotional storytelling while adding a southern twist.
The series opens with a devastating tornado that tears through Nashville during a country music festival. Captain Don Hart and his team rush to save lives amid chaos, while his family faces a revelation that changes everything: Don’s secret son, Blue Bennings, enters their lives after a dramatic rescue.
As Blue joins Station 113, tensions rise between him, his wealthy half-brother Ryan, and Blythe, who suspects hidden motives. At the same time, firefighter Taylor Thompson struggles to balance her passion for music with her life on the line, and paramedic Roxie Alba navigates the trauma of her past.
Showrunner Rashad Raisani, who also helmed 9-1-1: Lone Star, brings the same energy and emotional depth to the series. The production features real Nashville locations, original country songs, and even cameos from artists like Kane Brown, giving 9-1-1: Nashville an authentic Music City flair.
The first season of 9-1-1: Nashville marks a new era for the franchise.
