season of Fox‘s 9-1-1: Lone Star will be its last. The first responders drama’s final 12-episode run kicks off Sept. 23, with the series finale slated for early 2025.
This marks a milestone for Fox as Lone Star is the last drama series on the network produced by its former corporate sibling 20th Television which used to supply the majority of the Fox’s scripted series before the TV studio, along with other assets, was sold to Disney in 2019. (20th TV also is behind Fox’s legacy animated comedies, which are up for renewal this season.)

Like with the mothership 9-1-1, which ended its run on Fox last year after six seasons, the cancellation of Lone Star is a product of the changing economics of the TV business, especially on the linear side and particularly for non-vertically integrated broadcast networks.
Unlike 9-1-1, Lone Star is not expected to jump to ABC, the new sister network of 9-1-1 franchise producer 20th TV which has renewed the flagship for an eight season. But 9-1-1 could get another spinoff on ABC in a new location, with Las Vegas among potential cities rumored to follow Los Angeles (9-1-1) and Austin (9-1-1: Lone Star).
9-1-1: Lone Star ending its run gives Fox a marketing opportunity to promote Season 5 as a sendoff for the series, something the network was not able to do with 9-1-1 due to its pending move to ABC.
“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 of television — Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear — for creating one of the most action-packed dramas anywhere,” Fox TV Network President Michael Thorn said. “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.”
This is not a sudden development. As Deadline reported in June, most of the main cast had been under the assumption that the 9-1-1: Lone Star was coming to an end with Season 5 since late last year, following two unsuccessful attempts at contract renegotiations. After the most recent one, original cast member Sierra McClain departed the series, with multiple other actors starring to read, meet and audition for other projects months
ago.
