Rob Lowe Breaks His Silence on '9-1-1: Nashville' and Reveals If He'd Reprise His 'Lone Star' Character

"Well, I’ll have to ask Chad Lowe, my brother," the star responded. "See, all my family are gatekeepers to my own future business now.” The younger Lowe is no stranger to working with his Brat Pack brother or the 9-1-1 universe. He's previously directed episodes of both the flagship series and Lone Star, where he also appeared on-screen as Strand's brother, Robert. According to Lowe, "Chad Lowe is the executive producer, director of 9-1-1: Nashville. And so I’m just waiting for my phone to ring." He also joked that bringing back Captain Owen would only be fair now that the shoe is on the other foot and Chad's the one with the power to decide instead of him. "I mean, you know, I hired him on Lone Star. I think turnabout is fair play."

Who Is Part of '9-1-1: Nashville's New Team?

If Captain Owen does indeed get the call to respond in Nashville, he'll be surrounded by a new team this fall filled with some big names of their own. NCIS: Los Angeles veteran Chris O'Donnell will play the franchise's newest captain, Don Sharpe, with Grey's Anatomy's Jessica Capshaw accompanying him as Blythe Ward. There will be another father-son dynamic at play on the team involving Sharpe and his kid, as the rugged captain takes on emergencies from the country music capital of the world. Another new name who might be familiar with Nashville is country music icon LeAnn Rimes, who fills out the rest of the crew with Kimberley Williams-Paisley, Hailey Kilgore, Michael Provost, Juani Feliz, and Hunter McVey. Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, but a promo featured at CMA Fest hinted at a heavy focus on music and Nashville culture, including two firefighters who are aspiring musicians themselves.
