Fox's 9-1-1: Lone Star began airing in 2020 and is now in its fifth and final season. With just six episodes remaining, the show is trying to wrap up important storylines while also setting its characters up for a future that viewers can imagine them in. 9-1-1: Lone Star jumped forward nine months -- also about the same amount of time it was off the air due to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes and Fox delaying the show's return to Fall 2024 -- so that some of its storylines could progress differently and so far it is proving to be an excellent season for the procedural.

Set in Austin, Texas, 9-1-1: Lone Star follows the firefighters and paramedics at Firehouse 126, led by Captain Owen Strand (Rob Lowe) and Paramedic Captain Tommy Vega (Gina Torres). Strand is a transplant from New York City who came to Austin after the 126 experienced a terrible tragedy,...

More specifically, 9-1-1: Lone Star heavily revolves around Station 126, a firehouse led by Rob Lowe's Owen, a firefighter captain.

Owen moved from New York City to Austin with his son, Tk, at the start of 9-1-1: Lone Star.

The plot follows novelist Ben Mears as he returns to his childhood home in Jerusalem’s Lot. There, strange events coincide with the arrival of antique store owners Richard Straker and Kurt Barlow. As residents begin to disappear, Ben and others come to suspect the village is suffering from an infestation of the undead.
