Autumn TV Finales - 9-1-1 - Season Five || 9-1-1: Lone Star - Season Three (Double Feature)

9-1-1: Lone Star has just concluded it's third season with a wedding on the way! Like it's sister series (below) 9-1-1 there were no real cliffhangers this season. Does this mean the end is in sight?

A fourth season is on the way, with the Fox network announcing this the day of the season finale.

Gina Torres has been a real standout this season. With Lone Star kicking off with a Rob Lowe ice storm (yes in Texas) running it's 18 episodes (up from 14 last season) almost week to week. That's a lot of 9-1-1.

Especially once The Cleaning Lady wrapped up and the two 9-1-1's were on the same day. It's still up in the air what Fox will schedule in (along with what day) for it's 2022-2023 season.

Likely the two will remain on Mondays, however will they live together from September till May or stay spilt like the first three years?

Brianna Baker was promoted to series regular for the third season, starting a new romance with Julian Works as Mateo Chavez. But as above Torres with her husband pacing, then his brother sneaking in a kiss, was the season standout for me. Lowe was touch and go for a bit whilst TK and Carlos will always be gay favourites. How can a couple be that good looking! It's criminal!

How camp will the wedding be in season four? Will Rob Lowe leave? Will there be a fifth season? Fox is enjoying keeping everyone waiting on decisions lately, so only time will tell.


9-1-1 is the OG, 9-1-1, however I have been enjoying the spinoff 9-1-1: Lone Star (above) a little more of the past few seasons.

Season five really felt like it was running low on gas with Angela Bassett almost completely carrying the series.

The Jennifer Love Hewitt (Maddie) / Kenneth Choi (Chimney) situation with their new born was resolved, while they totally left hunk of burning love John Harlan Kim out of the show!

The series has been renewed for a sixth season, like its sister show, however I almost wonder whether it's the final season on the way. It is by far Fox's best performing series year in, year out, however the storylines and cast look tired.

Whilst Ryan Guzman is handsome, Angela Bassett is super talented, Oliver Stark keeps gay baiting folks with the Guzman bro-mance. The show is looking a little, so yesterday. That's how the Hilary Duff song went right?

With no cliffhangers, lives in the balance, no real drama. The show ended, kinda flat. After seeing earthquakes, tsunami's, mud slides/COVID and LA wide black out/power hack, it has been a wild ride.

My only question is, how long can this wild, wild, wild ride go in LA? Lone Star has more heart and interesting characters, so maybe a merge of the two shows would work? Taking the best from both series? Either way the first responders should be back late September(ish).
