9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5: Trailer, Plot, Premiere Date & Everything We Know So Far
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.
Grab your cowboy hats, y’all, because we’re about to spill all the tea about season five of 9-1-1: Lone Star!

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.
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.
Main Characters:
- Rob Lowe
- Gina Torres
- Jim Parrack
- Ronen Rubenstein
- Rafael Silva
