NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A new TV series is premiering on WKRN this fall — a series that will begin filming this summer right here in Nashville and is expected to generate tens of millions of dollars for the local economy! Officials described the newest entry in the “9-1-1” franchise, “9-1-1: Nashville,” as a high-octane procedure about heroic first responders and their family saga of power and glamour. The series will star Chris O’Donnell, Jessica Capshaw, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, LeAnn Rimes, Hailey Kilgore, Michael Provost, Juani Feliz, and Hunter McVey.
“I was lucky enough to enjoy a 14-year run on ‘NCIS: Los Angeles.’ I am looking forward to this new chapter with ‘9-1-1: Nashville,’” O’Donnell said. “I love the energy in Nashville, great people and great music. We plan on showcasing this amazing city.” Ryan Murphy, Tim Minear, Rashad Raisani will serve as executive producers and writers of “9-1-1: Nashville,” which is produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television, according to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development. O’Donnell, Brad Buecker, Brad Falchuk, and Angela Bassett are also executive producing.
“We couldn’t be more excited and inspired to shoot in one of the most vibrant and dynamic cities not just in America, but in the world. Nashville is home to so many artistic, historic and cultural treasures, top-notch crew and some of the kindest human beings on the planet,” said Raisani, who is also the showrunner of the new series. “We are so grateful to the city and the entire state of Tennessee for welcoming us, and we look forward to sharing their wonderful community with our global audience.”
Officials said filming, which will take place through early 2026, is expected to generate over $50 million in economic impact for local businesses and labor, creating more than 600 jobs. The series will share some iconic locations in Nashville, as well as surrounding Middle Tennessee communities, with national and international audiences. The TNECD said the Volunteer State’s robust entertainment production and music industry generated $8.2 billion in economic impact in 2024 and created more than $3.7 billion in new earnings for Tennessee workers.
