How 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Will Address Grace’s Absence Explained By EP
9-1-1: Lone Starco-showrunner and executive producer Rashad Raisani has teased the ending of the show ahead of its final season, promising an “apocalyptic ending” during the series finale. The9-1-1spinoff follows New York City firefighter Owen Strand (Rob Lowe) moving to Austin, Texas, balancing his personal life with the new duties he has in the city. Despite delayed news surrounding its renewal, partially because of dwindling ratings, it was later announced that9-1-1: Lone Starseason 5would be happening. Although it was later confirmed this will be the final season of the long-running spinoff.
Speaking withTV Insider, Raisani teased how9-1-1: Lone Staris going to end,promising an exciting series finale as he reveals the last two episodes have yet to be edited together.The co-showrunner said the finale episodes would close out the show in satisfying ways for its characters, while also leaving the audience wanting more. However, he did iterate that this would be the end for the series, with a conclusion already drawn up. Check out what Raisani had to say below:
It’s gonna have an apocalyptic ending in more ways than one. I’m immensely proud. I haven’t cut the last two episodes, so I haven’t seen how they fully work out, but I’m very confident that they will give you this feeling, I hope, that we are leaving all of these people right where they should be at the end of their journeys—for better, for worse. I think people are gonna have a tremendous sense of both closure and longing to not want to leave them behind, that we’re leaving them just before we’re ready to say goodbye, which I hope is the mark of a show that’s ending at the right time. It’s when you feel like it’s too soon, but yet you feel like, OK, that’s a beautiful last chapter for them if that has to be the last chapter.
What Raisani’s Tease Means For 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5
The Team Could Face Their Biggest Challenges Yet
Before9-1-1: Lone Starends, the show will be making some important changes to its character dynamics, including Wyatt (Jackson Pace) replacing Grace (Sierra McClain) as a 9-1-1 dispatcher. McClain also won’t be in this season of the show, no doubt impacting both her son’s storyline alongside that of her husband Judd (Jim Parrack). T.K. and Carlos' marriage is another major shift, the pair now getting accustomed to a new life together as the final season progresses. With many life changes happening last season,the final episodes will need to engage with how they cement each character’s storyline for good.
Another major absence that will be felt this season is Judd, who in9-1-1: Lone Star’s season 4 finaledecided to take some time off following a major injury Wyatt sustained. This makes it unclear if he’ll be present for the wild events Raisani is teasing, potentially meaning he’ll have a different story for himself when the series returns. However, with the show’s final episodes offering an ending for everyone, it seems Judd too will wind up with a fitting conclusion to his story. The co-showrunner’s assurances mean a proper finaledespite the show’s sudden departure.
Our Take On 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5’s Final Episode
It Sounds Like The Series Is Going Out With A Bang
While Raisani didn’t offer any concrete details on how9-1-1: Lone Starwill end, the co-showrunner seems confident the final episodes will deliver powerful closure for its many characters and storylines. Since the exact details are still under wraps, it sounds like there might be a wait until what the “apocalyptic” event getting teased is going to be. But, with the show coming to a definitive close, we believe the final episodes will more than deliver on a triumphant ending for the series and its many memorable characters.
