The 9-1-1: Nashville cast just grew bigger with four new additions

The 9-1-1 franchise is once again expanding with its latest spinoff, 9-1-1: Nashville, set in the heart of the capital of Tennessee. The new series will again follow the franchise's path of highlighting the urgent and emotional nature of the work of emergency responders—police, fire, and EMS units—through their response to high-stakes calls and personal lives. Following the success of the original 9-1-1 franchise in Los Angeles and 9-1-1: Lone Star in Austin, Texas, this Nashville-based show is the franchise's third flagship installment.

From franchise veterans Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Tim Minear, as well as others, 9-1-1: Lone Star attempts to bring new plotlines based on what the city's own culture and dynamics are. The show officially welcomed four new cast members into its main cast, each of whom will play key roles within the realm of emergency services. The casting reveal provides us with more information regarding the characters that will be starring in the series.
