Isabelle Tate, a talented actor best known for her role as Julie in ABC’s “9-1-1: Nashville,” tragically passed away on Sunday at the young age of 23. Her unexpected death has left a profound impact on her fans and the entertainment community alike. Tate made her debut in the pilot episode of this much-anticipated Ryan Murphy spinoff series, which premiered on October 9, 2025.

The agency revealed that landing the role in “9-1-1: Nashville” marked Tate’s first significant entry into the world of acting.
