9-1-1: Lone Star season 5 breaks a tradition, as the spinoff is delayed at Fox. The larger 9-1-1 franchise experienced a significant shift in recent months, with the original 9-1-1 moving to ABC. Lone Star, meanwhile, would remain on Fox. That has decreased the chances of a crossover between the two dramas, but the spinoff has established an identity and ensemble of its own.
Now, following the news that 9-1-1 season 7 will debut in March 2024, Variety confirms that 9-1-1 Lone Star season 5 has been pushed to fall 2024. This breaks the show’s tradition of debuting in January. It’s also mentioned that the fifth installment is likely to consist of 12 episodes.
What To Expect From 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5
The concluding episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star season 4 ended on a sad note. Gabriel (Benito Martinez), the father of Carlos (Rafael L. Silva), died in the penultimate episode just days before his son’s wedding. His enormous loss would hang over the 9-1-1: Lone Star season 4 ending. At one point, Carlos is so distraught that he postpones his wedding to TK (Ronen Rubinstein). Despite the uncertainty, the couple known as Tarlos get their long-awaited wedding.
Elsewhere in the 9-1-1: Lone Star season 4 closer, Wyatt (Jackson Pace) survives. He’s recovering at the home of his father, Judd (Jim Parrack). But with the happiness and new beginnings, there’s another loss. Owen (Rob Lowe) loses his brother Robert, who is played by Lowe’s real-life brother Chad. Robert’s last moments are seen as the character decides to end his life on his terms.
The finale of 9-1-1 Lone Star season 4 is heavy on family. At the wedding of Carlos and TK, Tommy (Gina Torres) sings a song that honors TK’s mother, Gwyn (Lisa Edelstein). That has been a staple of the series, which will continue when it arrives later in 2024. There will be the added intrigue of how Carlos and TK take to married life, which has been a long time coming.
