Spoilers ahead for Episode 2 of 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5, called "Trainwrecks." Under most circumstances, describing a TV show as a giant flaming trainwreck would be the worst kind of insult; for 9-1-1: Lone Star 's fifth and final season in the 2024 TV schedule , that description is very, very literal. The heroes of the 126 were on the scene of a burning trainwreck that needed to be suppressed as quickly as possible, while also rescuing a dad who was trapped in his crashed car and only Mateo was small enough to fit in and help him.
And this is all while Owen has yet to decide whether Marjan or Paul will become Judd 's replacement as lieutenant! When I spoke with Lone Star executive producer and co-showrunner Rashad Raisani , he shared some insight on the disaster as well as Owen's problem. His comments leave me wondering: could the trainwreck change his mind about selecting a new lieutenant? Why 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Is A Real Trainwreck When I spoke with Rashad Raisani about the adversity on the way for Tarlos and why writing Grace's absence was "tough to swallow, " we also discussed the show's first epic disaster of the fifth and final season. I asked the EP how much of a goal it was to go for a huge crisis to start Season 5, and he shared: It was THE goal, to be honest, because I knew that we needed to come back big, to try and just remind people that we were out there and our hope was that during these terrible strikes, that people maybe had time to pick up the show.
