9-1-1: Lone Star is a spin-off of Fox’s flagship hit series 9-1-1, which is set in Los Angeles.
While the spin-off films in L.A., the show is set in Austin, Texas, centering on Lowe’s Owen Strand, who was a New York City firefighter during the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
He relocates to Austin, Texas with his son (Ronen Rubinstein) to try and start a new life.

The show was renewed in April for a second season, following a strong debut in January, though the show will have some different faces in Season 2.

Gina Torres was announced to star just weeks earlier as a new character, Paramedic Captain Tommy Vega, who re-enters the workforce to support her family after her husband’s restaurant shuts down due to COVID-19.
