‘9-1-1: Nashville’ Boss Introduces Ryan Phillippe’s Character & Teases Sparks With Blythe

The new series regular will lead an investigation into a criminal causing biblical-scale calamities and add tension with the show’s core characters.

  • Ryan Phillippe joins 9-1-1: Nashville as a series regular for Season 2, playing a New York detective who relocates to the city and brings a police-side presence mirroring Lone Star.
  • Showrunner Rashad Raisani describes the detective as a "seductive bad boy with a past" who investigates a mysterious criminal causing calamities of "biblical" scope in Nashville.
  • Phillippe may have crossed paths with Blythe, played by Jessica Capshaw, during college, while forming a complex dynamic with Don that includes a father-son triangle involving Ryan.
  • The new season features a major criminal arc with attacks of "incredibly biblical in scope," while actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley joins as a new boss in dispatch.
  • Ryan Murphy provided inspiration for the criminal element, adding a "True Detective-y" feel to the series, though producers are still refining whether Phillippe's character will have deep ties to existing characters.
