‘9-1-1: Nashville’ Season 2 Episode 6 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview

The second chapter of ‘9-1-1: Nashville’ reaches its sixth installment on Thursday, November 19, with an episode titled “Tears of the Nile”. The ABC drama has the episode slotted for Thursday, November 19, 2026 at 9:00 PM. It arrives as the series pushes deeper into a serial case built around attacks that mimic the seven plagues of Egypt.

Viewers planning their evening will find the essentials here, from air time and streaming options to the story context that has shaped the season so far. Plot details for the episode itself are still thin, so this preview of ‘9-1-1: Nashville’ leans on what schedules, listings and earlier episodes have established.

Release Date and Time for the Sixth Episode

The second season airs weekly on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC, and six consecutive installments are dated between October 15 and November 19. That places “Tears of the Nile” as the last episode in the currently announced run of weekly broadcasts.

For viewers elsewhere in the United States, the show’s regular slot has translated to 6 p.m. Pacific and 9 p.m. Eastern. The same listing also puts the Central time zone at 8 PM, which follows the same Thursday pattern the series has used on ABC.

It is worth noting what the date does and does not signal. November 19 marks the end of the currently announced schedule rather than a confirmed finale, and ABC had not yet published a complete episode count. Another 12 episodes are scheduled for early 2027, though exact dates were not yet announced.

One episode guide lists the seventh episode, “A Fate Worse Than Death”, for Thursday, January 7, 2027. That would suggest a midseason break follows the sixth episode, although viewers should watch for any network updates.

Where to Watch ‘9-1-1: Nashville’ Online

The most direct option is the live ABC broadcast on Thursday night. Episodes become available to stream on Hulu the following day. That makes Friday the practical choice for anyone who misses the broadcast.

Streaming trackers also point to a second home for the series. One episode guide notes that ‘9-1-1: Nashville’ is on Disney Plus in the US. Availability can vary by region and subscription, so it is worth checking the app you already use before the episode airs.

Episodes in this season have been running at roughly 43 minutes according to listing data, which helps when planning a late evening viewing. Anyone behind on the story can also work back through the first season, which premiered on October 9, 2025.

The show has built an audience quickly. ABC announced on March 5, 2026 that it had renewed the series for a second season. The second season premiere drew 3.55 million viewers.

What to Expect in the Episode Preview

Official plot details for “Tears of the Nile” had not surfaced in the listings reviewed. Directing and writing credits for the episode were still listed as to be announced. Rather than guess, the clearest guide to the tone is the stretch of episodes that leads into it.

The fifth episode, “Ding-Dong-Ditch”, aired on November 12. One preview described a waterborne, brain eating parasite unleashed in that installment. Another outlet framed the episode as pushing first responders to their limit while a criminal mastermind tightens his grip on Music City.

Titles earlier in the season set a clear pattern. Names such as “Boys and Boils” and “Let There Be Darkness” suggested the bizarre biblical case would span multiple weeks. “Tears of the Nile” arrives in the middle of that run, so it is reasonable to expect the investigation to remain in play rather than reset.

Cast and Story Context Ahead of the Sixth Episode

The season has leaned heavily on its central mystery from the first trailer. TheWrap shared the trailer exclusively and it showed Don and the team at firehouse 113 responding to a swarm of murder hornets at a fancy gala. That leads to the introduction of metro police homicide detective Rogue Kelly.

Ryan Phillippe plays Rogue as a new series regular. It is the first season to star him. He joins a returning ensemble that includes Chris O’Donnell as Captain Don Hart, Jessica Capshaw as Blythe Hart, Kimberly Williams-Paisley as Cammie Raleigh and LeAnn Rimes as Dixie Bennings, along with Michael Provost, Hailey Kilgore, Juani Feliz and Hunter McVey.

The case has touched nearly every major character in the weeks since. The second episode had the 113 investigating cries inside an apartment’s walls and deadly beauty products, while the criminal surprised Cammie with a direct call. The third episode saw a blinding agent strike during a pollen storm, leaving Blythe and others critically ill. The fourth episode followed with The Pharaoh targeting Dixie’s flight.

With The Pharaoh having already reached Cammie by phone and Dixie by air, do you think “Tears of the Nile” is where Rogue finally gets ahead of him?
