Curtain Falls on ‘9-1-1: Lone Star’—But Is This the End?
The beloved series "9-1-1: Lone Star" has concluded after five intense seasons. Yet, its characters might just make a return. As fans wave goodbye to this Fox spinoff, there’s a buzz of hope surrounding a potential comeback.
Fox to ABC: A Bittersweet Transition
The end of "9-1-1: Lone Star" wasn’t due to poor ratings. Instead, the real culprit was the show’s move from Fox to ABC. Disney’s ownership of the show’s studio complicated matters. Ryan Murphy, the creative genius behind the series, clarified that financial intricacies were the issue. Despite their passion for the series, Disney and Fox’s tangled relationship took its toll.
Murphy has, however, hinted at a new series set in an unexplored city. While details remain scarce, he promises that more fun lies ahead.
Actors Ready for a Return
Rob Lowe, who portrayed Owen Strand, remains open to possibilities. "I’d love to return," he stated. Yet, the decision hinges on the storytelling. The quality must mirror "Lone Star’s" exceptional production.
"I never say never," Lowe confessed. He emphasized the importance of script quality and shared his pride in the show’s success.
Gina Torres, known as Tommy Vega, echoed Lowe’s sentiments. She felt honored to play her character, praising the role’s depth and complexity. For Torres, returning would mean revisiting a well-rounded character showcasing vulnerability, humor, and strength.
"I’m eternally grateful," Torres expressed, reflecting on the chance to embody such a layered character, especially amid challenging times. Her words resonate with fans eager for more.
The Hopeful Heroes: TK and Carlos
Ronen Rubenstein, the actor behind Tyler Kennedy "TK" Strand, expressed enthusiasm for a potential return. He finds it tempting to step back into the world they’ve crafted.
Meanwhile, Rafael L. Silva, who played Carlos Reyes, also perked up at the thought. He believes there’s immense potential to expand their narrative. The chance to create more gripping screen moments is one both actors find hard to resist.
Though "9-1-1: Lone Star" takes its final bow, for its fans, the curtain may rise once again. All eyes are now on what Ryan Murphy has up his sleeve.
