The sister show to Fox’s 9-1-1, 9-1-1: Lone Star is back with series lead Rob Lowe.

9-1-1: Lone Star was created by the same trio behind 9-1-1 — Brad Falchuk, Tim Minear and Ryan Murphy. Yes, that Ryan Murphy, the creator of Glee, American Horror Story, American Crime Story and plenty more TV series you’ve binged in recent years, easily making him one of the busiest and most prolific men in TV.

But enough preamble, here’s everything we know about 9-1-1: Lone Star season 3
