9-1-1: Lone Star to End with Season 5 on FOX

It’s the beginning of the end for the 126. 9-1-1: Lone Star will come to an end with Season 5 on FOX.

The Rob Lowe-led first responders drama returns for its final season on Monday, September 23, at 8/7c. 9-1-1: Lone Star‘s 12-episode final season is expected to end in early 2025.

News about the show’s fifth season has gradually come out since last year.

In May 2023, FOX renewed the spinoff series for its fifth season, canceling the mothership series 9-1-1. The latter moved to ABC for its seventh season and received an early Season 8 renewal.

By November 2023, FOX announced that 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 wouldn’t premiere until Fall 2024. The series appeared in the network’s Fall lineup in May 2024 and received a September premiere date for its long-awaited season in July 2024.

Speculation around 9-1-1: Lone Star ending swirled in the meantime. In May 2024, Deadline exclusively reported that Sierra McClain had exited the series after being a series regular for all of its previous seasons. McClain portrayed the 9-1-1 operator and the firefighter Judd’s wife, Grace Ryder.

Deadline made the news official, reporting that the series won’t move to ABC like its predecessor. Instead, there is a chance for another spinoff series in a new city, like Las Vegas. 9-1-1 is set in Los Angeles, California, and 9-1-1: Lone Star takes place in Austin, Texas.

“From the start, fans have followed the heroic and deeply moving stories of the men and women who make up Austin’s 126, so a huge thanks to one of the greatest creative teams in all of television — Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Tim Minear — for creating one of the most action-packed dramas anywhere,” Fox President Michael Thorn said in a statement on Thursday, per TV Line.

“Now in our final season of the show, we’re set to give it the high-stakes send-off it deserves, complete with breathless rescues, insurmountable odds, and relatable personal struggles, thanks to our incomparable, stellar cast led by Rob Lowe and Gina Torres,” Thorn concluded.

Created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk and co-creator Tim Minear, 9-1-1: Lone Star stars Rob Lowe, Gina Torres, Ronen Rubinstein, Jim Parrack, Natacha Karam, Brian Michael Smith, Rafael Silva, and Julian Works.

9-1-1: Lone Star is written and executive produced by Murphy, Falchuk, and Minear; Bradley Buecker directs and executive produces; Rob Lowe and Alexis Martin Woodall also executive produce.
