When 9-1-1: Nashville returns for its second season, it will do so with a new series regular, Ryan Phillippe playing a New York detective who moves to Nashville. When TV Insider spoke with showrunner Rashad Raisani about the Season 1 finale, we of course had to get intel on this new character.

So far, we know Phillippe’s detective is “a seductive bad boy with a past” who’s just going to add to the drama in these first responders’ lives. He’s also going to be leading an investigation into “a mysterious criminal tormenting Nashville on a biblical scale.” Right now, Raisani said, they’re likely going to have his character not have a history with any of the main characters, or at least not a major one.

“There may be a moment where he realizes that he and Blythe [Jessica Capshaw] might have crossed paths at one point, but he has no deep history. He’ll be playing this sort of maverick detective who comes in and he’s kind of a disruptor in a different way, and he’ll get in Don’s [Chris O’Donnell] craw, but he’ll also have a real affinity and friendship with Ryan [Michael Provost], Don’s son. And it will start almost this weird father-son triangle with somebody else,” he shared…….
