Despite the air of mystery and novelty surrounding the newest franchise title, 9-1-1: Nashville’s Station 113 will likely follow a few familiar trends. Though the first spinoff— Texas-based 9-1-1: Lone Star— had many quirks distinguishing it from the original series, its most iconic episode remains its crossover with LAFD station 118. Yet, 9-1-1: Nashville could remedy Lone Star's missed opportunity.
Like most of 9-1-1: Nashville’s cast of characters, actor Anirudh Pisharody (Ravi Panikkar) grew up in the South. Pisharody ironically grew up in Austin, Texas, the same setting as 9-1-1: Lone Star. Sadly, the spinoff’s major crossover barely preceded Ravi’s character introduction. The 118 leave for Texas in 9-1-1 season 4, episode 3, while Ravi first appears in episode 6.
As the next title in the first-responder franchise, it would be a shock if 9-1-1: Nashville didn’t cross paths with the LAFD during its run. When characters from the flagship series travel south, however, Ravi deserves a spot on the team. Ravi’s role in 9-1-1 is finally expanding, making his presence in the crossover symbolic of his character’s growing importance.
Furthermore, Anirudh Pisharody could tap into his Southern roots and explore Ravi’s character within the unique confines of 9-1-1: Nashville. Texas and Tennessee are different states, but that could make an interesting crossover subplot— similar to 9-1-1: Lone Star’s Judd (Jim Parrack) teasing Eddie over their rival high schools. Alternatively, Ravi could easily connect to 9-1-1: Nashville’s ensemble.
