As a longtime fan of gripping procedural dramas, I couldn’t be more excited about the upcoming fifth season of 911: Lone Star! With such an impressive cast and a storyline that promises to push our beloved characters to their limits, it’s going to be a rollercoaster ride for viewers like me.


There’s good news and bad news on the horizon for fans of 911: Lone Star.

The latest dramatic trailer for the fifth season of Ryan Murphy’s procedural series and its spin-off, 911, has been released. However, it’s been confirmed that this fifth season will mark the final chapter in the show’s run.

This week marks the start of the last season in the U.S., which means there are still many fresh episodes, unexpected turns in the storyline, and exciting drama left to unfold.

Announcing its final chapter, Fox TV Network president Michael Thorn expressed gratitude (through Deadline) by saying: “From the beginning, viewers have been captivated by the courageous and heartwarming tales of Austin’s 126’s members, so we offer a big thank you to an exceptional creative team – Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Tim Minear – for crafting one of the most thrilling dramas on TV.

In the last season of the show, we’re planning a thrilling, climactic finale filled with nail-biting rescues, seemingly impossible challenges, and deeply emotional character journeys. This is all made possible by our exceptional, top-tier cast, spearheaded by Rob Lowe and Gina Torres.

In this final goodbye, co-showrunner Rashad Raisani has shared with TVLine that we will see a heartfelt farewell for each character, yet the narrative threads remain open, suggesting there is still much depth left to uncover.

However, let me share with you details regarding the upcoming season 5 of 911: Lone Star. The question remains, which characters are coming back and what storylines will the new season focus on?

911: Lone Star season 5 release date

911: Lone Star season 5 premieres in the US on Monday 23rd September on Fox, and then is streaming the following day on Hulu. 

It’s been officially announced that the finale is slated for early 2025. Therefore, it seems quite probable that the season will consist of 12 episodes, which may possibly be divided into two halves. These episodes are expected to be rolled out weekly, with a short break in the middle for a mid-season rest.

At present, a specific UK release date for season 5 hasn’t been announced yet. However, it can be streamed on Disney Plus, and it’s expected to continue streaming there for its concluding episode.

Without our usual cast members steering the ship, the upcoming season of 911: Lone Star would feel somewhat incomplete.

It’s been reported by Deadline that there was a casting negotiation issue which led to the departure of Sierra McClain from the regular cast of 911: Lone Star in June.

In the television series, McClain played one of the cherished 911 operators, who was also portrayed as Jim Parrack’s character Judd’s wife, Grace Ryder. However, at this point, it remains uncertain how her character will be departed from the show.

In an interview with TVGuide, showrunner Rashad Raisani expressed his disappointment when Sierra’s availability for the show became uncertain.

As a movie enthusiast, let me express my heartfelt admiration for the captivating Sierra character in the series “911: Lone Star.” Her voice is the beating heart that anchors this show, making her an indispensable pillar. She plays the role of the 911 dispatcher, a position that lies at the very core of the storyline. In essence, she’s not just the focal point of the series; she embodies its spirit.

“So it was always going to be brutal; the idea of losing her seemed unthinkable, to be honest.

Raisani stated, “This calls for acknowledging Sierra McClain, the actress, and Grace, the character. We don’t want to take a shortcut by ending her storyline abruptly between seasons. Therefore, it’s been decided that we’ll clarify Grace’s whereabouts in the first episode of season 5.

We aimed to pay tribute to her, preserve her character’s integrity, and ensure the actor felt appreciated and respected, despite not being able to cast her in our show.

The official logline for season 5 indicates that Judd will step down from the 126 to look after his newly disabled son, Wyatt. Therefore, it’s reasonable to expect that Parrack may assume a lesser role or depart the series at some point during the fifth season.

In contrast to the previous seasons, the upcoming one will prominently feature Wyatt (Jackson Pace) more frequently. Previously appearing in nine episodes, Pace’s character Wyatt is now a series regular, ensuring his presence in every episode of season 5 alongside the primary cast members.

In addition to familiar ones, we’ve got some fresh blood joining the cast: Parker Young, known for Enlisted and Suburgatory, is set to reappear regularly as Campbell, a character described as “a Texas Ranger partnering with Carlos.” You’ll first meet him in the season 5 opener.

According to showrunner Rashad Raisani (as shared with TVLine), when these two characters join forces, there’s a unique dynamic at play. They fit together well in solving cases and will eventually form a strong friendship. As a duo, they are set to explore some intriguing destinations.

The confirmed cast list for 911: Lone Star season 5 is as follows.

  • Rob Lowe as Owen Strand
  • Gina Torres as Tommy Vega
  • Ronen Rubinstein as Tyler Kennedy ‘TK’ Strand
  • Jim Parrack as Judson ‘Judd’ Ryder
  • Jackson Pace as Wyatt Harris
  • Natacha Karam as Marjan Marwani
  • Brian Michael Smith as Paul Strickland
  • Rafael Silva as Carlos Reyes
  • Julian Works as Mateo Chavez
  • Brianna Baker as Nancy Gillian
  • Kelsey Yates as Izzy Vega
  • Skylar Yates as Evie Vega
  • Parker Young as Sam Campbell

What will 911: Lone Star season 5 be about?

Given that we’re at the end of 9-1-1: Lone Star’s final season, it’s reasonable to anticipate that this episode will involve significant challenges and compelling narratives.

Indeed, at the heart of this series lies the compelling narrative of emergency responders in Austin, Texas. Much like other dramatic shows that follow a procedural format, each installment centers around a fresh case and an intriguing cast of guest actors.

Nonetheless, there may be some changes involving a few cherished characters, as per the official synopsis for season 5, Judd (Parrack) is expected to leave the 126 team due to the need to care for his newly disabled son, Wyatt.

Due to the decision made, Owen (Rob Lowe) must search for a replacement lieutenant to fill Judd’s vacancy. However, things might get complex when both Marjan (Natacha Karam) and Paul (Brian Michael Smith) express interest in the position, causing Owen to face a challenging choice about who should get the job.

Furthermore, according to the official synopsis by Fox: “On the occasion of TK’s thirty-first birthday, an unexpected guest from his history makes an appearance, potentially altering not only TK’s life but also that of Carlos, for good or ill.

Additionally, “TK and Carlos’s relationship faces a challenging time as Carlos becomes fixated on uncovering the truth behind his father’s death.
