The concept for a second 9-1-1 spinoff first surfaced quickly after the primary one, 9-1-1: Lone Star, premiered on Fox in 2020. It began gaining momentum after the mothership 9-1-1 sequence moved from Fox to twentieth TV sibling ABC in 2023.
The 9-1-1 staff had explored a number of areas for the potential franchise extension since then. There was speak of Las Vegas early on. Final fall, because the mission kicked into excessive gear with Murphy confirming that he and Minear have been engaged on a script, the main focus turned to Hawaii. As Deadline reported on the time, the excessive price of filming within the fiftieth state was thought-about a serious hurdle.
The producers’ consideration in the end shifted to the South, with Nashville rising as a frontrunner, partially due to a tax credit score I hear the proposed sequence has been supplied.
A serious music hub, Nashville will not be as ubiquitous of a TV sequence backdrop as different cities close by, together with Atlanta, GA; Wilmington, NC; and Memphis, TN. Probably the most notable scripted sequence set and filmed there was ABC’s Nashville.
The Nashville-set offshoot is trying to be part of the Los Angeles-set mothership 9-1-1 on ABC, headlined by Bassett, which is wanting good for a Season 9 renewal at ABC. The franchise is produced by twentieth Tv in affiliation with Ryan Murphy Tv.
