Notes from the show:
- The show will follow the lives of emergency responders (firefighters, paramedics, and police officers) in Nashville, dealing with life-threatening situations.
- The decision to set the series in Nashville was influenced by the city’s distinctive musical culture and scenic setting, and music is expected to play a “huge role” in the series.
- The cast includes Chris O’Donnell as Captain Don Sharpe, Jessica Capshaw as Blythe Ward (Don’s wife), LeAnn Rimes, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Hailey Kilgore (playing a firefighter who is also a singer), Michael Provost, Juani Feliz, and Hunter McVey.
- Chris O’Donnell’s character, Captain Don Sharpe, is a veteran firefighter and former rodeo rider who leads a firehouse with his son.

- There has been some fan backlash and skepticism about another “9-1-1” spin-off, especially after the conclusion of “9-1-1: Lone Star.” However, the younger main cast for Station 113 is a notable departure from previous shows in the franchise.
- Rob Lowe, who starred in “9-1-1: Lone Star,” has expressed interest in a cameo appearance, which could potentially tie the franchises together and address fan sentiment.
