As a long-time fan of “911: Lone Star”, I must say that the anticipation for season 5 has been a roller coaster ride! After a grueling wait, thanks to the Hollywood strikes and FOX’s decision to hold off the show until fall 2024, it feels like we’ve finally made it to the starting line.


Ready for the return of “9-1-1: Lone Star” on its fifth season? Let’s refresh our memories with some key points about this popular series!

As a dedicated fan of “911: Lone Star”, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the next season. We wrapped up season 4 in May 2023, and I was geared up for the team to dive into season 5 right away. But then, Hollywood strikes came along and threw a wrench in our plans, pushing back the production timeline significantly. By the time they managed to finish, Fox announced that they’d be holding off on airing the new season until fall of 2024. Quite a wait, but I guess patience is a virtue for us fans!

But finally the wait is coming to an end and, given how long it’s been since the show signed off, fans may have forgotten a few things. So here’s a quick refresher on what to know before season 5 hits!

The climactic point of the final event saw Carlos and TK officially become a married couple. Regrettably, what was meant to be a day filled with happiness turned into one tinged by sorrow. Tragically, Carlos’ father, Gabriel, was violently killed while investigating police corruption. This devastating news left Carlos reeling, but TK suggested postponing the wedding. Despite his grief, Carlos chose to go ahead with the ceremony as a tribute to his deceased father.

Almost derailing a covert police mission aimed at apprehending the person Carlos believed murdered Gabriel, he was halted just in time. It’s expected that Season 5 will show the duo continuing their lives together, with Carlos seeking answers about his father’s demise. The strength of their bond will be crucial as they face the challenges ahead in the upcoming year.

Following the unfortunate car accident involving my son Wyatt, I found myself in a state of turmoil. To devote my time and energy to his recovery, which has seen him moving into our home, I chose to relinquish my lieutenant position. As a result, Marjan and Paul will be vying for the vacant spot during season 5. They assure me it’ll be friendly competition, but it’s not hard to envision the intense desire for that top position causing tension in their friendship, depending on who eventually lands the role.

Tommy and Trevor were getting closer

Following her courageous stand for her relationship with Trevor before his congregation, Tommy decided to take him as her partner to the upcoming wedding of TK and Carlos. Their bond seems to be growing stronger, and Tommy has made it clear that she won’t let anyone shame her for loving Trevor despite his profession. This development could play a significant role in season 5, although it’s still uncertain if they’ll tie the knot anytime soon. Nevertheless, it’s heartening to see Tommy experiencing some romantic moments in her life.

Following some intense emotional turmoil during season 4, Owen received another heavy blow when his half-brother Robert revealed he had been diagnosed with Huntington’s disease. Instead of enduring a painful decline, Robert chose to end his life. Unable to change his mind, Owen stood by his brother in those final moments, witnessing him pass away with dignity. This tragic event is expected to impact Owen significantly in season 5 and potentially hinder him at work.

Grace is leaving

As a gaming enthusiast, I was taken aback when Sierra McClain decided to part ways with the show and step out of Grace’s shoes. A sneak peek hinted that she’s now devoting her time to religious work, allowing Judd to extend his hospitality to Wyatt and his family. This development has Jackson Pace stepping up as a regular cast member, as Wyatt will be filling in for Grace at the dispatcher position. It’s clear that Judd is going to feel the absence of his wife deeply, and this may prompt him to reconsider his previous occupation, all while he supports Wyatt in managing his health issues.

Carlos is taking on a new job and partner

This year, Carlos takes on a new role, mirroring his father’s career path as a Texas Ranger. He’ll be teaming up with Campbell (played by Parker Young). Their dynamic is intriguing, and their friendship will deepen over time. Yet, Carlos remains determined to uncover the truth about Gabriel’s murder and whether or not his dad was correct in suspecting corruption within the department.

With the arrival of his half-brother Jonah, there may be strain on TK’s new marriage as he becomes distracted. This means that shortly after they got married, they will face significant difficulties due to these two complications.
