After 14 seasons of playing NCIS agent G. Callen in the CBS series “NCIS: Los Angeles,” actor Chris O’Donnell is moving on to a different procedural, franchise and network.

STARS ON SCREEN

O’Donnell is the first cast member and series regular to join ABC’s upcoming “9-1-1: Nashville,” a new procedural that is slated for the 2025-26 broadcast season. It will be the third offshoot of the ongoing series “9-1-1,” which moved from Fox to ABC in May 2023. The second spinoff, “9-1-1: Lone Star,” wrapped its five-season run this past February.

O’Donnell, whose additional TV credits include “Grey’s Anatomy” and a guest role as Pete Davidson’s agent in Peacock’s “Bupkis,” will portray Capt. Don Sharpe in “9-1-1: Nashville.” The character is officially described as “a rugged fire captain and rodeo rider who runs Nashville’s busiest firehouse with his beloved son. Don is a devoted husband and family man, but he has his secrets.”

Daniels, TV dad: The cast of “Shrinking” is growing.

The Apple TV+ series is returning for a third season, and when it does — keep in mind that no official date has been announced yet — its cast will include Emmywinning actor Jeff Daniels (“The Newsroom”) in a guest-starring role.

Daniels, whose most recent TV projects include Netflix’s 2024 limited series “A Man in Full” and the Showtime/Prime Video series “American Rust,” is set to recur as Jimmy’s (Jason Segel, “How I Met Your Mother”) father in the series, which was co-created by Segel, alongside “Ted Lasso’s” Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein. This will be Daniels’ first major onscreen role in a live-action comedy series, though the accomplished actor is no stranger to the genre, having previously done voice work for “Frasier” and “Family Guy,” not to mention the Dumb and Dumber movies.

Scrumdiddlyumptious series: Want to enter the world of Wonka? Sure you do! Well, good news: Netflix is throwing open the factory doors in an upcoming reality competition series inspired by Roald Dahl’s 1964 novel “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”

From Eureka Productions, the series is titled “The Golden Ticket,” and it’s the first Wonkathemed project to come out of Netflix’s 2021 acquisition of the Roald Dahl Story Company, ultimately giving the streamer access to works such as “Matilda,” “The Fantastic Mr. Fox” and “James and the Giant Peach.” The animated movie “The Twits,” based on the 1980 book, is also slated to arrive on the streamer this year.

But, let’s get back to “The Golden Ticket.” The competition is promised to be a fun mix of strategy and social dynamics, as contestants vie for a golden ticket that provides entry into the “retro-futuristic dreamscape” that is, presumably, the chocolate factory, where they must then “withstand games, tests and temptations designed to prove their instincts, resilience and ability to thrive in the chaos” (per Netflix).
