As of this writing, the current cast coming out of 9-1-1: Lone Star season 4 is projected to return for season 5. Once production on the new season gets underway, there's sure to be casting updates and we'll have them for you right here. 

Rob Lowe has come a long way since his role as Tony Flanagan in the 1979 series A New Kind of Family. Throughout the 80s, Lowe maintained his membership in Hollywood's "Brat Pack" with films like The Outsiders and St. Elmo’s Fire. In the 90s, a slightly older Lowe was introduced to a new generation with his role as Benjamin Oliver in Wayne’s World. His memorable run on West Wing as Sam Seaborn launched Lowe’s career into a whole new orbit. 

Lowe recently starred in the Netflix series Unstable with his real-life son, John Owen Lowe. Speaking of family affairs, Rob Lowe's brother Chad guest starred in 9-1-1: Lone Star season 4. 

Here's a list of the stars expected to return for season 5. 

  • Rob Lowe (West Wing) as Owen Strand 
  • Gina Torres (Westworld) as Tommy Vega 
  • Ronen Rubinstein (Orange is the New Black) as T.K. Strand 
  • Sierra Aylina McClain (Empire) as Grace Ryder 
  • Brian Michael Smith (Queen Sugar) as Paul Strickland 
  • Rafael Silva (The Corps) as Carlos Reyes 
  • Jim Parrack (True Blood) as Judd Ryder 
  • Natacha Karam (The Brave) as Marjan Marwani 
  • Julian Works (Titans) as Mateo Chavez 

9-1-1: Lone Star season 5 plot

9-1-1: Lone Star follows in the footsteps of its sister show 9-1-1, only it’s set in Texas. Texas and LA have a few things in common but there’s no question that things are bigger in Texas. 

Based on previous seasons, we know that there’s usually a big event in the first few episodes that sets the tone for the new season. In season 3 it was an ice storm, and in season 4, a series of powerful thunderstorms wreaked havoc on Austin and put the Station 126 crew's lives in peril.
