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 television — Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear — for creating one of the most action-packed dramas anywhere. 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.

Though some changes are coming, most of the main cast of 9-1-1: Lone Star season 4 is expected to return for season 5. This means that Rob Lowe will be back to lead the ensemble as Owen Strand, alongside Ronen Rubenstein as his son, TK Strand. One supporting actor who most likely won’t return is Chad Lowe as Robert Strand because of his death in the final episode of season 4.

One confirmed exit is that of Sierra McClain, who has played the role of Grace Ryder since season 1. No reason has been given for McClain’s departure, and it isn’t clear how it will be handled in the show’s storyline. Another major departure will shape season 5, and it has been confirmed that Jim Parrack will leave the role of Judd Ryder during the season. In storyline, Ryder is leaving the team to focus on his family, which will leave his spot on the team open for someone to get a promotion.

The presumptive cast of 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5 includes:

Actor	9-1-1: Lone Star Role
Rob Lowe	Owen Strand
Ronen Rubenstein	TK Strand
Gina Torres	Tommy Vega
Jim Parrack	Judd Ryder
Natacha Karam	Marjan Marwani
Brian Michael Smith	Paul Strickland
Rafael Silva	Carlos Reyes
Julian Works	Mateo Chavez
Brianna Baker	Nancy Gillian

9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Story

More Explosive Emergencies Are Expected

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.

It has been revealed that Judd Ryder is set to leave the team during season 5, and that it will leave something of a power vacuum in his lieutenant role. According to recent developments from Fox, Paul and Marjan are going to compete for the promotion, and that could cause some friction within the team. It will also be difficult for Owen as he needs to pick a suitable replacement for Judd that can fulfill the needs of the position while also keeping his team intact.

Watch The First Teaser Below

To hype up the newest season of 9-1-1: Lone Star, a brief teaser trailer was revealed in July 2024 that advertises the show’s return in the fall. Under narration urging fans to catch up on the past seasons, clips are shown of various major emergencies the team has faced throughout the years. Finally, the trailer concludes with Rob Lowe’s Owen Strand telling his team that “This isn’t the end. It’s just the opening act.” This quote is clearly aimed at rumors concerning 9-1-1: Lone Star‘s cancelation after season 5.
