Lone Star’ Season 5 on TV and Streaming

The procedural drama 9-1-1, created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Tim Minear, was an enormous hit upon its 2018 debut, so much so that the very next year a spinoff, 9-1-1: Lone Star, was ordered by Fox. Now, after four eye-popping, explosive seasons, Lone Star looks set to call the upcoming Season 5 its last.

Watch the ‘9-1-1: Lone Star’ Season 5 Trailer

Available to watch above, the most recent teaser trailer for 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 showcases an albeit brief but action-packed look at the upcoming season. With this set to be the last outing for the spinoff, it is likely that boundaries will be pushed as 9-1-1: Lone Star prepares for its most explosive season yet. The trailer also gives fans a glimpse at the brand-new dispatcher following the sad departure of Grace, with actress Sierra McClain, exiting the show back in June. Her replacement is Wyatt (Jackson Pace), son of Jim Parrack’s Judd, with the character not originally intended to be more than a contributor to the series, but has found himself as a series regular in Season 5. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, co-showrunner Rashad Raisani expanded on this, saying:

“We thought maybe he’d start to work in the call center, and Grace would be his mentor, and that would be a nice story to play. We wanted to show that no matter what your physical situation is, you have so much to offer. I’m proud that we’re able to tell that story for a lot of people who may have something that makes them feel like they have struggles, but to see that there’s always ways that you can do something great. So [McClain’s departure,] I think, ended up being a fortuitous thing in allowing us to go bigger with that storyline.”

The pair of Wyatt and Judd join an exciting cast of returning and new faces in Season 5, including Rob Lowe as Owen Strand, Liv Tyler as Michelle Blake, Ronen Rubinstein as Tyler Kennedy “TK” Strand, Natacha Karam as Marjan Marwani, Brian Michael Smith as Paul Strickland, Rafael L. Silva as Carlos Reyes, Julian Works as Mateo Chavez, and Gina Torres as Tommy Vega. With the 126 team ready to go out with a bang, plenty of fireworks are expected for the plot of Season 5, with an official synopsis reading:

“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.”
