9-1-1: Lone Star fans have never been more anxious, and we can’t exactly blame them.
After being off the air more than a year due to the concurrent writers’ and actors’ strikes, Fox finally released an explosive teaser for the show’s delayed 12-episode fifth season, premiering this fall. But even that was bittersweet, as it’s looking more and more likely that it will be the last season viewers get to spend with their favorite first responders.
Rumors of the show’s impending end began swirling last month, with Deadline reporting that several cast members were already looking for new opportunities; the cast’s options are reportedly up on July 19, which is when production on Season 5 formally wraps. Hearing that original cast member Sierra McClain (Grace Ryder) left the show after a failed contract negotiation is only further stoking the fans’ concerns.
Neither Fox nor 20th Television will confirm whether Season 5 will be 9-1-1: Lone Star‘s last, but recent posts on social media from several of the show’s stars are giving fans cause for concern — including one series regular who looked back fondly on the past five years, before hinting at “so much change on the horizon.”
Read on for a breakdown of what the cast of 9-1-1: Lone Star has posted about Season 5 on social media, much of which indicates that we should enjoy our time with Owen’s team while we still can. When you’re finished, drop a comment with your thoughts below. If the end is nigh for the 126, what do you hope to see in the show’s final season?
It’s impossible not to read between the lines of this Instagram story, via Natacha Karam, who plays adrenaline junkie Marjan:
“Eight more shooting days left after five years on a show is a wild feeling,” she recently posted, complete with a broken heart emoji. “So much change on the horizon.”
An Instagram story from the show’s set reveals a note left by Jackson Pace (aka Judd’s estranged son Wyatt) that implies a goodbye of sorts.
“Thank you for making me feel so at home over the past few years!” the note reads. “Finding my long-lost father, going to jail, having a baby, dropping out of college, getting in a life altering accident. … It’s been such a joy getting to do it all with you!”
As for the blocked-out portion of Pace’s note, it could be about his character becoming a firefighter, something Wyatt was pursuing prior to his accident.
Brian Michael Smith (aka Paul) recently shared a link to a “Save 9-1-1 Lone Star” petition on his Instagram story. While this isn’t proof of cancellation by any means, it’s not a great sign when fans and cast members feel they need to rally for a renewal.
Robyn Lively, who plays Judd’s estranged baby mama Marlene, reportedly deleted a post on social media that originally read “So excited to be a part of @911lonestar’s final season!! What a ride it’s been!”
While it’s entirely possible that Lively was simply misinformed, it feels far more likely that she assumed the final-season news had already been announced when she posted this.
In response to Deadline’s original report about Lone Star‘s rumored cancellation, Ronen Rubinstein (aka T.K. Strand) clarified that nothing is set in stone just yet.
“Nowhere in that article stated a certain fate for our show,” Rubinstein wrote in an Instagram story. “But one thing I do know for certain is we will continue pouring our blood, sweat [and] tears into these last few episodes and deliver to you our most special season yet. I better see all of you in September. #BestFansInTheWorld Unite! I love y’all so fckin much!”
Rafael Silva (aka Carlos Reyes) took a slightly more cryptic route, responding to Deadline’s report with the following sentiment in an Instagram story: “Wherever the ship sails, [I’m] grateful for the family I’ve created on this show.”
Don’t be stupid fox, don’t be stupid fox.
I wouldn’t mind if Fox cancelled it as long as ABC picked it up. I’d love to see another 9-1-1/9-1-1 Lone Star crossover and have their story continue on ABC
ABC doesn’t have the space on their schedule for it
The actors contracts are up next week. Either ABC would have to agree to pick the show up for another season before this next season has even aired on FOX or FOX could cancel it now and ABC pick it up for next season.
Neither will happen.
Another casualty of the actors strike. ABC may have picked it up if the show has aired this last season.
I hope that the fifth season will not be the last season of the series. I love this series and have watched all its seasons. It is very beautiful. We want more from the 911 Lone Star series.
they should have a another cross over before the season ends think they one more season left they can do i believe
Please don’t cancel 911 lone star. It is a really good show that came from a good show. The writers strike fans alot of our favorite shows. I don’t know why networks are letting this happen. ao
I think Marjan and Paul should get married.
Yes!!
P L E A S E, DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT END THE SHOW…… LOVE this show…. 1
Based on all the social media posts from the cast, it would be a surprise if it isn’t cancelled. Doesn’t look promising sadly, but there’s always hope until there is an official announcement I guess. Fingers crossed for all the fans.
whilst i enjoyed this show at the start, the past couple of seasons have been almost unbearable to watch as its turned into the “owen strand show”. so many storylines his character has randomly been thrown into for no reason, whilst others are forgotten about or neglected.
i think it’s major delay and the casts posts are pretty telling.
Exactly, Rob Lowe is the executive producer and he’s making it all about him.
I’d love to see a crossover between this and The Idol if they have another season of each
Please don’t leave us. I love the show and never missed an episode. This is my favorite show I love everyone on here. I can only say. I LOVE YOU ALL Looking forward to Season 5 and hopefully many more Hugs to you all. 🫂❤️
They need to leave 911 lonestar on TV it’s a great show with awesome actors!!!
Why is anyone surprised? The show was in trouble the minute Disney bought Fox. It makes money for the former, not the latter. Yes, it’s possible it could move to ABC as the original did, but it’s not a cheap series–the original currently runs something like $10 million an episode–and ABC can make much more money stuffing its schedule with inexpensive game shows and competitions than costly scripted dramas with tons of visual effects.
ABC PLEASE PICK UP THIS SHOW ACTORS STOP DEMANDING A FORTUNE THINK ABOUT YOUR FANS WITHOUT US HALF OF YOU FALL
PLS DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW! MY DAD AND I WATCHING IT TOGETHER!
We live 911 Lone Star!! All characters are fabulous!! Please don’t cancel!!
Keep 9-11 lonestar going on it’s a great show just as great as the other 9-11 tv show. I love both shows and the actors and actresses. Please don’t let these shows end.
There’s no way this series should be ending. It is an awesome show. The writers strike is a joke. Please don’t leave us. 😞😮💨😤
I’ll make it short and sweet I love the show I wish they would continue it and if there is a petition somewhere point me in the right direction I’ll surely put my name on it
As soon as the white son and his mom were added I knew Grace was gone. Rob Lowe a long time d list actor executive producer of the show hates to be number 20 in his own show. Stop watching once the son appeared after the fact. There was no point in adding Wyatt or that storyline. Sierra you will always be better!
Please do not leave us. Me and my mother in law have watched every episode. We absolutely love this show. They always take off the good shows. Pay your actors they are worth it.
ITS TRULY SAD THEY PLAN TO END 911 LONESTAR !!! YOU ALWAYS CANCEL THE BEST SHOWS!!!! MAKES ME NOT WANT TO WATCH THE LAST SEASON. …. SINCE IT WILL MAKE ME WANT MORE!!!
I really love 911 Lone Star I hope that the show continues. I really enjoy the stories they bring to the screen. I hope this isn’t the last ride and I hope they can sit down with Serria McCain and get her back as Grace Ryder. She is such a good actress and it want be a good story without her and Judd. I love all the actors and actress. So please save the show and bring Grace Ryder back.
No please don’t stop . I love watching.
I hope that they don’t cancel 911 lone star for good, because I so look forward to seeing the show and the husband’s life together and more of them in the show. Don’t take the show off, because everyone loves the show and it inspires those that are unsure of themselves and how people react to them when they come out.
