Does ‘9-1-1: Nashville’ Connect to ‘9-1-1’? Meet the ’90s Throwback Cast and How They’re Honoring Isabelle Tate
A nostalgic cast, touching crossovers and a heartfelt tribute
In a world teeming with police procedurals, it’s easy to know which ones are successes when their worlds start expanding—and ABC’s 9-1-1 has most definitely earned its loyal following with its gripping storylines and complex characters. The original series spawned 9-1-1: Lone Star, and more recently, 9-1-1: Nashville. The series, which premiered earlier this month, follows the first responders that serve the Tennessee city—but this new spinoff has fans wondering if it connects to the two series that came before it, as well as whether or not it includes any cast members from the original series. Here, read about the 9-1-1: Nashville cast, as well as how the 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star characters intertwine.
Does ‘9-1-1: Nashville’ connect to ‘9-1-1’ and ‘Lone Star’?
Though 9-1-1: Nashville has only been on the air for a few short weeks, we’ve already witnessed a bit of crossover between this new series and the original show from which it stemmed. On a recent episode of 9-1-1, characters like Athena (Angela Bassett) and Hen (Aisha Hinds) are on an out-of-range space vessel, which leads Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) to phone Nashville‘s Cammie for help. With someone on the roof with a satellite phone, Cammie calls Hen and manages to connect her to Los Angeles.
The 9-1-1 cast is led by Angela Bassett, Oliver Stark, Aisha Hinds, Kenneth Choi, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ryan Guzman and has been on the air since 2018. With 9-1-1: Nashville only just getting started, we hope to see more crossovers in the future!

Remembering Isabelle Tate and her role in the pilot episode
News recently broke of the tragic passing of Isabelle Tate, the 23-year-old actress who appeared in the show’s first episode as a character named Julie. It was revealed that she suffered from a rare neurological disorder, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, that causes nerve damage in the arms and legs—the same disease that country singer Alan Jackson has been diagnosed with. Isabelle passed away peacefully in her sleep and is remembered by her family, friends and castmates. “You could tell she brought joy to a lot of people. I’m thankful I got a chance to work with Isabelle and that a part of her will live on forever in the pilot episode of 9-1-1 Nashville,” said actor Hunter McVey to People.
