TV

It’s been a lifetime since we caught up with the 126!

The last time we saw 9-1-1: Lone Star, thanks to dual strikes, was May of 2023.

And a lot has changed onscreen and off since then.

Has 9-1-1: Lone Star Been Renewed for Season 5?

The good news is that the series has been renewed for another season!

The spinoff always felt as if it could be in limbo once the mother show moved over to a whole other network.

On May 1, 2023, Deadline reported that 9-1-1: Lone Star was renewed for its fifth season.

At the time of renewal, FOX’s second-highest-rated scripted drama came in after 9-1-1.

Will 9-1-1: Lone Star Return to FOX?

While 9-1-1 has found a new home over on ABC, the same does not apply to Lone Star.

It will air on FOX as it always has, meaning the franchise is currently split between two different networks.

Will 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Be the Final Season?

There has yet to be an official confirmation that it will be 9-1-1: Lone Star’s final season.

According to FOX Entertainment CEO Rob Wade, back in May, there was hope that the network would decide about the series’ future after the fifth season airs, and they take into account ratings and more.

However, Deadline has also reported rumors that have been speculated about the fifth season being the final one.

In addition to those rumors circulating, cast changes, and negotiations, a guest actor, Robyn Lively, who plays Marlene Harrison, Wade’s mother and Judd’s ex, shared a now-deleted post stating, “So excited to be a part of @911lonestar’s final season!! What a ride it’s been!”

However, some assurances have been given by cast members Rafael Silva and Ronen Rubenstein.

Silva posted on social media, “Wherever the ship sails, [I’m] grateful for the family I’ve created on this show.”

Meanwhile, Rubenstein shared, “Nowhere in that article stated a certain fate for our show.”

“But one thing I do know for certain is we will continue pouring our blood, sweat, and tears into these last few episodes and deliver to you our most special season yet,” he continued, adding, “I better see all of you in September.”

It sounds a little bleak like they’re postponing breaking our hearts.

But while we’re line-dancing in limbo, we can at least hold out hope.

We’ll let you know when we have official renewal or cancellation news about the series!

How Did 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 4 End?

Let’s refresh our memories a bit here since the season finale aired over a year ago.

When we last saw the group, they celebrated T.K. and Carlos’s highly-anticipated and long-awaited wedding.

But that wedding that we fought for didn’t come without a heaping dose of pain as Carlos’ father, Gabriel Reyes, was murdered, and we STILL don’t know who is responsible for it.

Carlos went down a dark path, trying to figure out who was behind his father’s death.

Frankly, it wouldn’t be surprising if, after constantly being at odds with the history of the Texas Rangers, Carlos takes on a position there partially to honor his father and find the killer.

The finale also saw the tragic death of Owen’s brother, who opted to die with dignity on his terms rather than fully succumbing to his Huntington’s Disease.

What Will 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Be About?

There’s so much in store for the fifth season!

One of the most pressing bits is that we don’t know who killed Gabriel, and we learned that he was involved in rooting out corruption in his department. But we also have shifts in the house with Judd stepping down, romantic plots, and more.

The synopsis for the new season teases a great deal for many of the members of the 126 and a great deal of change.

In the upcoming fifth season, Captains Strand and Vega, along with the 126 team, race into action when in a multi-episodic opening storyline, a catastrophic train derailment endangers several lives including some of their own.  

With Judd resigning from the 126 to take care of his recently handicapped son Wyatt, Owen must find a new lieutenant to replace Judd and has a difficult decision ahead of him when both Marjan and Paul apply for the promotion. 

Tommy is ready to take the next step in her relationship, but she finds the road to happiness is filled with obstacles.

On his 30th birthday, T.K. gets a surprise visit from someone from his past that could change his and Carlos’ lives forever. Now officially husband and husband, T.K. and Carlos’ marriage is put to the test when Carlos becomes obsessed with solving his father’s murder.

Judd stepping down from the station poses a new wrinkle and point of conflict for besties.

According to Brian Michael Smith’s comments at Comic-Con, with Judd stepping down, he and Marjan will compete for the position of lieutenant at 126. So we can certainly expect some drama there!

Paul is still happily dating Asha as well.

However, it’s the Grace factor that remains on everyone’s minds regarding Judd’s storyline.

And on that note, let’s get into the cast situation.

What Cast Members Will Be Returning to 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5?

Sadly, we will not have the entire main cast in the new season.

In a shocking development, Deadline reported that Sierra McClain exited the series ahead of the fifth season, so we’ll be sans Grace Ryder in the new season.

The shocking news of Sierra McClain’s exit is enough to send fans into a tizzy.

And Deadline reported the news along with an explanation about cast negotiations.

Cast renegotiations orchestrating a contract and a raise fell through between McClain and the series.

Regardless of what happened between the actress and the network, she will be sorely missed, and we already have some misgivings about the upcoming season as a result.

Listen, we have no freaking idea!

They haven’t even given us an inkling as to how the series could feasibly write out an invaluable member of the series.

We’ve speculated about so many things, from death to relocating for a new job opportunity, but there will never be a good way to write out this character, who is the heart and soul of the series.

We’ll let you know here if we learn any new details or spoilers about how the series will handle this massive cast shakeup!

Will Wyatt Replace Grace in Season 5?

I mean, technically, that’s what it’s looking like.

Jackson Pace has officially been upped to series regular.

Given that Judd stepped down to take care of him, it’s not a surprise that the season will feature Wyatt a great deal.

As his dreams of firefighting went up in flames, he turned to another avenue that was familiar.

In Grace’s absence, it appears they’re keeping it in the family, with Wyatt’s ties to the 126 extending to a new gig as a dispatcher. How are we feeling about this news?!

Is 9-1-1: Lone Star Filming Season 5?

Yes. Production has been underway, and the new season wrapped filming.

The last day of filming was July 19.

That means whether you love or loathe it, everything about the season will be locked in before it airs.

How Many Episodes Will Be in 9-1-1: Lone Star: Season 5?

Unfortunately, because of the delay, and likely due to budgeting, the season will be shorter than fans would like.

Funny Roommate -tall  - 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 4 Episode 10Funny Roommate -tall  - 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 4 Episode 10

The new season will only have 12 episodes.

While that puts it in the realm of being a contender for one of our ultra-short seasons that underwhelms us, we’re hoping that Lone Star can pull this off well.

It’s not too short of a season where it feels like we’re getting cheated, and there’s plenty of space to tell decent stories.

Will 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Have a Big Emergency?

Yes!

According to TV Insider, the first three episodes will be devoted to a train derailment.

It already sounds action-packed and exciting, and they’re getting the ball rolling with something huge and suspenseful.

We’ve already seen how the series pulls off some of these events with the Ice Storm Premiere Event.

Will There Be a Crossover with 9-1-1?

It’s highly unlikely.

It’s a logistical nightmare on a good day, and with two series on different networks, it’s almost impossible.

But maybe there’s a chance that they’ll make a reference or something.

After all, wouldn’t it be nice to know that T.K. and newly out bisexual Buck occasionally chat about their hubby/boyfriend? We think so.

When Will 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Premiere?

Lone Star will be taking over 9-1-1’s slot at 8/7c on Mondays.
