Chris O’Donnell is trading in Callen’s badge for a captain’s helmet.
TVLine has your exclusive first look at the fiery new key art for ABC’s 9-1-1: Nashville, the franchise’s high-stakes Southern spinoff set to premiere Thursday, Oct. 9 at 9/8c.
O’Donnell (NCIS: Los Angeles) headlines the new drama as Don Hart, a former rodeo rider turned firehouse captain of Station 113 in the heart of Music City. And if you think this series will tone down the jaw-dropping emergencies that made 9-1-1 a phenomenon — think again. The action begins with Hart’s team facing down an army of fiery tornadoes.
“I’m excited to play a different character,” O’Donnell told TVLine back in May. “I loved playing Callen for 14 years on NCIS: Los Angeles — it was a great family — but I’m looking forward to a new family in Nashville, and being on ABC for a while.”

A New Beat for the Franchise
Set against the backdrop of Nashville’s music scene and Southern traditions, the series promises to blend the wild emergencies of 9-1-1 with family drama and small-town roots.
Between tornadoes of fire, cowboy heroics, and a dash of honky-tonk heart, 9-1-1: Nashville looks ready to deliver the franchise’s signature mix of chaos and catharsis — with Chris O’Donnell at the helm.
9-1-1: Nashville premieres Thursday, Oct. 9 (9/8c) on ABC.
