A new story synopsis for 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5 has teased an original character's potential exit, while also revealing the release date for the batch of episodes. 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5 continues the procedural's story, following the fictitious company 126 in Austin, Texas as their personal lives and work in emergency services interlace with one another. Despite its parent show, 9-1-1, moving to ABC, the spinoff is continuing to air on Fox, with the series planned to continue thanks to its success on the network.

Now, TVLine has revealed details about 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5, including the fact that Judd Ryder (Jim Parrack) is planning to resign to take care of his son Wyatt. This means Owen will be on the lookout for a new lieutenant, with Paul and Marjan applying at the same time, forcing him to make a difficult decision. The results of these big changes will no doubt be revealed when the show premieres Monday, September 23 at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.

Big Changes Are Coming For 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5

Could Season 5 Be The Final Season?

In addition to Judd leaving the team, Tommy is going to be having some relationship bumps with Pastor Trevor, despite wanting to fully commit to a life together. In the meantime, while T.K. and Carlos got married in 9-1-1: Lone Star’s season 4 finale, the couple are about to face big challenges because of their pasts. This includes Carlos obsessing over solving his father’s murder, while T.K. gets a visit from someone he used to know, both events shaking things up for the pair in the episodes.

While rumors have spread that season 5 could be the end for the show, its ongoing storylines indicate the series has no plans on stopping anytime soon. However, Judd's absence coupled with the new focuses for some of its major characters means the show will be evolving throughout its episodes. Owen's decision in particular could put a schism within the team depending on who he chooses, and how the person he decides on is able to perform in the new position.

With 9-1-1: Lone Star premiering in just a few months, it won't be long until more details about the team's makeup and Owen's decision get revealed. The new stories involving characters like Carlos and Tommy should also prove interesting, building on the foundations of previous seasons to deliver something new. Even though the parent series isn't on the same network anymore, the news about season 5 of the spinoff is a good sign for the franchise as a whole.

9-1-1 will begin the same week - on Thursday, September 26 at 8 p.m. ET - on ABC.
