ABC‘s next 911 series has made the call for its first lead actor.
Chris O’Donnell is set to star in 911: Nashville, which ABC picked up in February with a straight-to-series order. He’s the first actor cast in the show, which is set to premiere in the 2025-26 season.
O’Donnell will play Capt. Don Sharpe, who’s described as “a rugged fire captain and rodeo rider who runs Nashville’s busiest firehouse alongside his beloved son. Don is a devoted husband and family man, but he has his secrets.”
The role for O’Donnell will be his first ongoing part since NCIS: Los Angeles ended its long run on CBS in 2023. O’Donnell played NCIS agent G. Callen for all 14 seasons of the series.
Ideas for a third series in the 911 franchise — which comes from 20th Television and Ryan Murphy Television — had been floating around for several months, with Las Vegas mentioned as a potential setting, before ABC announced the Nashville-set spinoff. 911: Nashville will join the flagship series on ABC, while spinoff 911: Lone Star ended in February after five seasons on Fox.
O’Donnell’s guest-starred on Peacock’s Bupkis with Pete Davidson. Prior to his long NCIS: LA run, he starred in Scent of a Woman opposite Al Pacino, the 1993 Three Musketeers, Batman Forever and Vertical Limit, among other films. He also had a recurring part on Grey’s Anatomy early in the show’s run. O’Donnell is repped by Untitled Entertainment, Gersh, Vision PR and Jackoway Austen.
Murphy, Tim Minear and Rashad Raisani are writing and executive producing 911: Nashville. Brad Falchuk and 911 star Angela Bassett also exec produce.
