Watch the ‘9-1-1: Lone Star’ Season 5 Trailer
The latest teaser trailer for 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 is available to watch above. It gives a quick look at the upcoming season, which is expected to be the most thrilling yet. The trailer also introduces a new dispatcher after the sad departure of Grace, played by actress Sierra McClain, who left the show in June.
The new character is Wyatt, played by Jackson Pace, who is the son of Judd, played by Jim Parrack. Wyatt was originally not meant to be a regular character but has now become a series regular in Season 5. Co-showrunner Rashad Raisani talked to Entertainment Weekly about this change:
“We thought maybe he’d start to work in the call center, and Grace would be his mentor, and that would be a nice story to play. We wanted to show that no matter what your physical situation is, you have so much to offer.
I’m proud that we’re able to tell that story for a lot of people who may have something that makes them feel like they have struggles, but to see that there’s always ways that you can do something great. So [McClain’s departure,] I think, ended up being a fortuitous thing in allowing us to go bigger with that storyline.”
Wyatt and Judd join a great cast of returning and new characters in Season 5. This includes Rob Lowe as Owen Strand, Liv Tyler as Michelle Blake, Ronen Rubinstein as TK Strand, Natacha Karam as Marjan Marwani, Brian Michael Smith as Paul Strickland, Rafael L.
Silva as Carlos Reyes, Julian Works as Mateo Chavez, and Gina Torres as Tommy Vega. With the 126 team ready to make a big impact, Season 5 is expected to be filled with exciting storylines. The official description of the season reads:
“In the upcoming fifth season, Captains Strand and Vega, along with the 126 team, race into action when, in a multi-episodic opening storyline, a catastrophic train derailment endangers several lives including some of their own.
With Judd resigning from the 126 to take care of his recently handicapped son Wyatt, Owen must find a new lieutenant to replace Judd and has a difficult decision ahead of him when both Marjan and Paul apply for the promotion.”
