Fans of 9-1-1: Nashville have been waiting to learn the fate of the show after the first season wrapped on ABC. Viewers are wondering whether 9-1-1: Nashville is canceled, or if its Season 2 has been locked in? Here are all the details on that.

Has ABC canceled 9-1-1: Nashville or renewed it for Season 2?

Yes, 9-1-1: Nashville has been renewed for a sophomore season. It will return with Season 2.

The show initially had a strong start early in the first season. However, things became a little tougher midway through the run when ratings slowly began dipping. But the show later managed to turn its numbers around, leading ABC to renew the spin-off for Season 2.

The network confirmed the decision in March 2026. The renewal came after the series continued performing strongly across multiplatform viewing, especially among adults between 18 and 49 years of age (via Deadline).

9-1-1: Nashville became television’s number one new drama in the 18-49 adult demographic, while the flagship 9-1-1 stayed among ABC’s biggest scripted shows. Still, the Nashville spinoff did run into some problems during its first season.

After starting with solid numbers, the ratings slowly started slipping through the fall episodes. Its winter return stayed soft too, holding onto just over half of the audience from the main 9-1-1 lead-in. Reportedly, that became a concern for the network. Behind the scenes, ABC made adjustments as the season moved forward, reports stated.

Then things slowly started changing again. The January 29 episode ended up delivering series highs in total viewers and adults 18-49, giving the drama fresh momentum at the right time. Since then, the numbers have looked steadier, which helped push its renewal chances higher.

For now, fans do not have to worry about cancellation rumors anymore as 9-1-1: Nashville has officially been renewed for Season 2.
