LeAnn Rimes is about to dive into the wild world of the 9-1-1 franchise, and she's been prepped for the ride by none other than Rob Lowe! The singer-turned-actor is joining the highly anticipated spin-off, 9-1-1: Nashville, and she's been warned about the show's signature 'craziness'.
Rimes, known for her hit song 'Can't Fight the Moonlight', is one of the fresh faces on this Ryan Murphy production. She revealed that fellow actor Rob Lowe, who starred in the previous spin-off 9-1-1: Lone Star, gave her a heads-up about what to expect. But here's where it gets interesting: Lowe's advice wasn't to tone down the drama, but to embrace it!
In an interview with Us Weekly, Rimes recalled Lowe's words: 'If you want reality, you don't go to this series. We have the craziest rescues, which is what's so intriguing.' And Rimes is all for it! She added, 'You'll think, 'This can't be real,' and then they'll show you articles proving it happened.'
The show's reputation for over-the-top scenes is well-deserved, with lead star Angela Bassett even having a space rescue under her belt. Rimes embraces this unique aspect, saying, 'Once you accept the craziness, you'll love it.' She admitted to initially being perplexed by the show's premise but quickly became engrossed in its captivating reality.
9-1-1: Nashville promises to be just as action-packed, with showrunner Rashad Raisani teasing thrilling scenarios. He hints at a blend of 'Succession' and 'Dynasty', starting with a bombshell revelation that disrupts a character's life, and yes, there will be tornadoes! Raisani also promises a compelling class-based narrative between characters played by Jessica Capshaw and Chris O'Donnell.
As Rimes and the rest of the cast gear up for this wild ride, one thing's for sure: viewers are in for a treat. But will the show's unique brand of 'craziness' be a hit or miss with audiences? What do you think? Is this your kind of entertainment, or do you prefer a more grounded approach to storytelling? Comment below and let's discuss!
