The 9-1-1 franchise is making ready to develop with new spinoff 9-1-1: Nashville. Premiering on October 9 on the 2025 TV schedule, the sequence stars NCIS: LA’s Chris O’Donnell, who’s the captain of the busiest firehouse within the Music Metropolis. Though the sequence is already getting railed on by diehard Bobby Nash followers, there may be nonetheless pleasure surrounding it. Whether or not acquainted faces from throughout the franchise will seem on the brand new present stays to be seen and, now, Rob Lowe is weighing in on the potential for reprising his personal position throughout the present.
Lowe starred on all 5 seasons of 9-1-1’s first spinoff, Lone Star, as Captain Owen Strand. The sequence finale, which aired earlier this yr, noticed Owen taking a job because the New York Metropolis Fireplace Chief. Though New York is a bit removed from Nashville, Lowe doesn’t appear to be counting something out. He instructed that to Selection whereas talking concerning the possibilities of him showing on the brand new sequence in addition to how a lot Owen means to him:
I like Owen Strand, and I like how folks miss that character. It means so much to me that the folks actually associated to him and favored him. And I don’t ever rule something out, however in the intervening time, I don’t suppose there are any plans to do it.
It will be nice to see Owen once more or any of the Lone Star characters, for that matter. The present’s cancellation was definitely shocking to me and, regardless that the finale was in a position to wrap up tales regardless of being filmed as a season finale, I would love an replace on the characters. Plus, Lowe has some BTS connections at Nashville, giving him all of the extra purpose to return play for a bit. If something, it appears like he’s pumped for what the inventive staff is cooking up on the present:
I’m actually excited. I’ve been getting stay updates from my brother Chad, who’s the chief producer/director, and it’s all my associates on it. I play golf with Chris O’Donnell. Kimberly Williams-Paisley, I’ve labored with twice, who’s probably the most lovable, great lady. And there are a pair folks on the present that I do know, and I preserve listening to folks go, ‘It’s loopy! We’re hanging from a bridge!’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, that’s what you’ve signed up for!’ I’m simply glad I don’t should put on the fireman outfit within the Nashville summer time; that’s the primary factor I’ve been serious about.
Since Owen is now in New York, it is likely to be a bit laborious to elucidate why he’d be in Nashville at a given time. Regardless, I like that Lowe appears to be open to returning. It’d simply depend upon the place the story goes and if he’s in a position to match it into his busy schedule. What I would additionally hope is that different Lone Star actors may showing on Nashville, however followers will simply have to attend and see.
On the very least, if a Lone Star crossover received’t occur on Nashville quickly, it’s attainable 9-1-1 is already plotting to cross paths with its latest spinoff. Oliver Stark was beforehand noticed in Nashville as filming for each reveals are happening. Followers have speculated that there could possibly be a crossover coming however, as of now, Stark hasn’t confirmed something, nor has it been revealed that the 2 reveals are doing a crossover.
No matter any sort of cross-pollination, 9-1-1: Nashville is wanting like an entertaining sequence, and followers might wish to give it an opportunity. It will not be for much longer now earlier than followers can lastly take within the wild emergences the present is serving up. The sequence premieres on Thursday, October 9 at 9 p.m. ET on ABC, and episodes are additionally streamable the following day with a Hulu subscription.
