‘9-1-1: Nashville’ Season 2 Episode 2 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview

‘9-1-1: Nashville’ returns with its next installment on Thursday, October 22, on ABC, under the title “Boys and Boils.” The episode follows a premiere that introduced a series of crimes modeled on the plagues of Egypt, and it keeps that mystery moving through Music City.

Viewers looking for the release date, time and streaming options can find them below, along with a preview of what Station 113 faces next. The new season also adds Ryan Phillippe as a surly detective joining the team’s orbit, which gives this episode extra weight.

‘9-1-1: Nashville’ Release Date and Weekly Schedule

The second episode of the season airs Thursday, October 22, one week after the premiere, “Going Rogue.” The season is set to release weekly on Thursdays, so viewers can expect a steady rhythm from here.

The following installment is already on the calendar as well. “Let There Be Darkness” is scheduled for Thursday, October 29, which suggests the biblical case will stretch across several weeks.

The new run arrives after a first season that ended on May 7, 2026, and ABC renewed the series in March 2026. The second season is also listed at 18 episodes, which leaves plenty of room for the serialized storylines to develop.

‘9-1-1: Nashville’ Release Time on ABC

The series airs at 9 p.m. in the Eastern and Pacific time zones every Thursday. Viewers in the Central time zone can tune in at 8 p.m.

The drama holds its Thursday evening slot right after the flagship ‘9-1-1’, so fans of the original series can stay on the same channel for the entire block. That pairing has been part of the franchise strategy since the spinoff arrived.

Plan for a full evening of television. Episodes are listed with a runtime of 43 to 45 minutes, which is typical for a network procedural with a heavy serialized thread.

Where to Watch ‘9-1-1: Nashville’ Online and on TV

The simplest option is live viewing on ABC, which is the home of the series in the United States. A cable or antenna subscription is enough to catch the episode as it airs.

For those who prefer streaming, new episodes become available the next day on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. That makes the October 23 window the earliest on demand option for the second episode.

Lapsed viewers can catch up before the new episode lands. Earlier episodes of the show were offered through ABC and Hulu, and the first season closed with a cliffhanger in which Blythe’s beating of Dixie left fans wondering about the fallout.

‘9-1-1: Nashville’ Episode Preview and Crossover Details

The central case belongs to Rogue Kelly, an ex NYPD homicide detective investigating crimes that mimic the plagues of Egypt. Early incidents include a swarm of murder hornets at a gala, a basement flooding with blood and an epidemic of painful boils, and the episode title points directly at that last plague. The trailer also previewed the blood and boils imagery.

There is also a franchise connection to watch for. Oliver Stark is set to reprise Buck via FaceTime in the episode, following a more substantial crossover between ‘9-1-1’ and the spinoff in the first season. That earlier event had Buck and Eddie traveling to Tennessee for the national firefighting games.

At home, the repercussions of Blythe and Dixie’s fight create more tension in Don and Blythe’s marriage. With a killer working through a biblical checklist and Buck checking in by video call, do you think Rogue Kelly will connect the pattern before Station 113 pays the price, and does a FaceTime cameo from Buck feel like the right level of crossover for this show?
