9-1-1: Lone Star is back, however Liv Tyler as Michelle Blake is out and Gina Torres as Tommy Vega is in. Rob Lowe as Owen Strand continues to lead the series, whilst former Girlfriends Guide to Divorce Lisa Edelstein appears as Gwyneth Morgan, Rob Lowe's ex wife. Their son Ronen Rubinstein as Tyler Kennedy "TK" Strand is super handsome, with a handsome cop boyfriend Rafael Silva as Carlos Reyes.
The series focuses on the fire, police, and ambulance departments of the fictional company 126. Unlike 9-1-1 OG in California, 9-1-1: Lone Star is located in Austin, Texas. The use of "Lone Star" in the name associates it with Texas, the "Lone Star State."
Another non Netflix series, created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Tim Minear. The series returned almost exactly a year following its 10 episode debut episode. I hope they keep it to a similar number of episodes. 9-1-1 feels a little overcooked at 18 episodes.
Episode one kicks off as follows. Owen and the rest of the first responders deal with a rogue military tanker loose, and creating chaos in Austin.
Meanwhile, Owen meets new paramedic-in-charge Tommy Vega following Michelle Blake's departure.
TK's patience is put on edge when his mother, Owen's ex-wife comes to Austin to be with Owen during his cancer diagnoses.
The series opener had over six million Americans tune for episode one. So on par with where it wrapped up back in March, 2020. Right before the world shit itself.
So the set up for episode two looks huge. Like it's parent show 9-1-1 it looks like we will have a major disaster to kick off each season. I look forward to seeing where the season goes. I also really hope they filmed the entire season. FOX has had a rough start to the 2020-2021 season with Filthy Rich and NeXt already canned. However I am fairly sure 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star will be back for fourth and fifth seasons respectively.
Until tomorrow. Keep up with all the January La Premières right here!
