The hit series 9-1-1: Lone Star is returning for an exciting fifth season, and there are already several important updates regarding the new episodes. Launched as a spinoff of 9-1-1 in 2020, Lone Star follows Firefighter Owen Strand and his son as he relocates from New York City to Austin, Texas, and brings his sophisticated techniques to the Lone Star State. Unlike the slew of other emergency responder procedurals on the air, 9-1-1: Lone Star has a distinct flare that only show co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk could bring.
Across its time on the air so far, the series has proven to be another hit for Fox, and continues the successful partnership between Fox’s various networks and the TV shows of Ryan Murphy. The fourth season of 9-1-1: Lone Star was climactic and conclusive, and it has left the door open for a reinvention of the characters in season 5. Speaking of season 5, Lone Star‘s fifth outing is on the way, and news has been steadily dropping about the upcoming episodes.
9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Latest News
The biggest update regarding the Fox procedural series came in mid-November 2023 when the network provided a release window for 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5. While it isn’t very specific, Lone Star season 5 will be arriving in the fall of 2024, nearly an entire year after it was originally expected. Season 5 was delayed due to the Hollywood strikes, and it was clear that Lone Star probably wouldn’t hit its regular January premiere spot, but a fall release time breaks with four seasons of tradition.
9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Is Confirmed
While the release window is an interesting development, 9-1-1: Lone Star was confirmed back in May 2023, and its fate never really was in jeopardy. The series has proven to be such a big hit for the network that it is obvious that they would want to keep the ball rolling. The show’s fate beyond season 5 is unwritten, but Lone Star‘s future will probably depend on the popularity of the newest season.
9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Cast

9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Story
The ending of 9-1-1: Lone Star season 4 was somewhat conclusive, but it also left the door open for new developments in season 5. The “Tarlos” wedding went off beautifully, but Carlos’ quest to avenge his father’s death is far from over. Similarly, Owen was tasked with executing his brother’s last request, which showed growth for the wise veteran. Viewers can expect more exciting emergencies in season 5, and the newest 9-1-1: Lone Star season will also likely build on the previous character growth.
