Fox Announces Spin Off with Rob Lowe: 9-1-1 Lone Star

Just in time for the season finale of 9-1-1, Fox has announced a spin off of it’s #1 drama. 9-1-1: Lone Star will star Rob Lowe.

From 9-1-1 co-creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, 9-1-1: LONE STAR follows a sophisticated New York cop (Lowe) who, along with his son, re-locates to Austin, and must try to balance saving those who are at their most vulnerable with solving the problems in his own life.  Lowe will serve as co-executive producer on the series.

9-1-1: Lone Star should arrive for the 2019-2020 season and will be set in Austin. This is the first step in a possible franchise for the show.

There’s been no announcement yet about stars from the original show moving to the spin off, but given last week’s big shock, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Diaz headed that way. He’s from Texas, isn’t he? Or am I just remembering that wrong?

Let’s just hope they keep Austin weird and give us just as many crazy rescues as we’ve seen so far.
