Why 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 will end the series

9-1-1: Lone Star was axed due to financial issues faced by the show’s production.

A spin-off to the popular procedural drama 9-1-1, this show too made its mark among the fans and had a successful run of five seasons. Hence, the news of its recent cancellation came as a shock to all considering its success. However, it turns out that the show couldn’t move on simply due to financial issues.

Speaking with Variety, Lone Star’s producer Ryan Murphy explained why they had to cancel the show. “Sadly, we all love ‘Lone Star,’ but the financials just didn’t work. It’s a Disney company that was on a Fox network, and it just was never going to work. And we had a long run of it,” he stated. The original show 9-1-1 began its journey on Fox as well before it moved to ABC.

Fans however will be pleased to know that the producers are already gearing up for a new show. Murphy announced that the new series is in the works, the details of which are still under wraps. “So now we’re going to launch a new show in a new city that I can’t name, but it’s fun. And ‘9-1-1’ moved to ABC and suddenly became, I think, the biggest show on Thursday night. They obviously have an appetite for that, so we’re going to give them another one that I really love,” assured Murphy.

Although he remained silent on the details of this new show, fans are excited for this new possible spin-off. 9-1-1: Lone Star on the other hand has a few more episodes to go and will finally draw the curtains on February 3, 2025.
