“Chris O'Donnell Could Be Buck's Cousin:” '9-1-1's Oliver Stark Shares His Nashville Crossover Pitch

Oliver Stark is hoping to see more of the Buckley family across the expanding 9-1-1 universe. The ABC procedural is set to return for its ninth season in the upcoming TV cycle, following its recent renewal alongside fellow scripted hits like The Rookie, Will Trent, and Grey’s Anatomy. The next season will also mark the debut of a new 9-1-1 spin-off, Nashville (probably a working title), set in the heart of the country music capital. With the spin-off expected to share DNA with the flagship series, the chances of a crossover are high. Stark, who plays Evan “Buck” Buckley, one of the 118’s core firefighters, is already looking forward to the possibility of a Buckley family tie-in between both shows.
