And, naturally, the emergencies are getting bigger. Promotional material for Season 10 has teased disasters involving sinkholes and a volcano erupting in Los Angeles, promising the kind of high-stakes rescues that viewers have come to expect from the series. Disney+

9-1-1: Nashville Season 2

The excitement doesn't stop with the original series. 9-1-1: Nashville returns for Season 2 on the same night, airing at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and streaming the following day on Hulu. ABC

The new season introduces Ryan Phillippe as Detective Rogue Kelly, a former NYPD homicide detective who arrives in Nashville and quickly becomes involved in a series of unusual and dangerous investigations. The season premiere, “Going Rogue,” sees the 113 responding to a bizarre emergency involving murder hornets while Rogue investigates a series of ominous crimes.

Season 2 will also continue the personal conflicts and relationships established during the first season, giving viewers more of the Hart family and the rest of Nashville's first responders.

What to Expect

The upcoming seasons look set to maintain what has made the franchise so popular: massive emergencies, unpredictable rescues and plenty of personal drama between calls. But with Athena moving into detective work, Buck embracing fatherhood, Chimney taking on greater responsibility and new characters arriving in Nashville, the shows are also entering new territory.

For viewers who have followed the franchise from the beginning, Season 10 of 9-1-1 represents an important milestone. At the same time, 9-1-1: Nashville's second season gives the expanding franchise another opportunity to develop its own identity.

The countdown is almost over. 9-1-1 Season 10 and 9-1-1: Nashville Season 2 both premiere October 15, 2026, on ABC.
