Station 126, the fictional fire and EMS station are gearing up for its second season. The show's first season released in January this year and has had a largely positive reception. So many are curious about the 911 Lone Star season 2 release date. It has been announced that one of the show's lead, Liv Tyler, will be backing out from the second season since she is concerned about travelling during the Pandemic.
Liv's residence is in Londons, which is a long way off. So Gina Torres is joining the cast in her place but in a different character, giving room for Liv Tyler's return if she wishes to. The makers have not yet announced a season premiere date but the 911 Lone Star season 2 release date is expected to be sometime in January 2021.
Fans were disappointed to see that Liv Tyler did not return to reprise her role in the sophomore season. Her character was temporarily written out of the storyline since she could not join in due to issues related to family and travel during the pandemic. The actress had been commuting from London to LA to film the series. However, she may return in the upcoming season if things look better, especially since she has signed a multi-year deal for the Fox drama. The action-packed season 2 finale left viewers with mixed emotions. While Tommy 's motivation for helping Austin residents was renewed, she was still reeling from Charles 's unexpected death.
On the job front, she and the rest of the 126 team were still displaced in the latest episode, but their time apart could actually be permanent if Billy gets his way. Though nothing is set in stone just yet, the idea of the crew being disbanded was enough for Owen to lash out at the new deputy fire chief. Torres is a new addition to the cast which returns for a second season without one of season one's big name stars.
Liv Tyler opted not to return for season two due to travel concerns around the Covid-19 pandemic. Tyler lives in London with her family and didn't want to risk the international flights to Los Angeles while the pandemic is raging. Tyler's role, as Minear noted, will not be recast, though producers did not plan for her exit. Instead, Tyler's absence will be absorbed by new series regular Gina Torres . The actress, who previously worked with Minear on beloved fan-favorite Firefly, was cast as a series regular in September. She'll star opposite Rob Lowe and play a paramedic captain who reenters the workplace after her family is impacted by financial issues stemming from the pandemic.
For the time being, it seems like the plan is to air the Rob Lowe – Gina Torres drama starting at midseason, which could mean it comes back as early as January. We're sure that there will be some flexibility for the premiere date depending on what happens the next few months, but there could be some teasers/trailers that air over the course of the fall! While there could be some new faces who turn up in Austin this coming season, we don't fundamentally expect to see a totally different show when it comes back. Just like the regular9-1-1, Lone Starknows that its strength comes in dynamic rescues and also poignant, timely character moments. The much-anticipated crossover of and its spin-off series Lone Star is coming right at the start of the new seasons. From premiere dates to when exactly the crossover will air on FOX, to a look at the storyline at the heart of the show, here's what we know so far.
Now, a report from TV Line has confirmed the official release dates of these top Fox series, most of them coming at the beginning of 2021. The very first major premiere of Fox's lineup is the debut of The Masked Dancer, a spinoff of the incredibly popular Masked Singer, premiering December 27 at 8/7c. Other returning series include Hell's Kitchen on January 7, Prodigal Son on January 12, and 9-1-1, as well as its Lone Star spinoff on January 18. The new Fox lineup also includes the new comedy series Call Me Kat, a remake of the U.K. Comedy Miranda, on January 3, alongside the ninth and final season of the Tim Allen sitcom Last Man Standing. If you have a Hulu account and don't mind waiting a day, you're covered.
New episodes of Fox shows premiere on all versions of the streaming service the day after they air. Hulu even offers a seven-day free trial for new and qualified users so you can try before you buy. Fox has also been posting episodes of Season 2 on its website, so you can catch up for free there. The 126 crew responds to a military tank on the loose in downtown Austin and a human pile-up at the roller derby; a new paramedic captain joins the team; Owen is reunited with his ex-wife. This episode will also be set in Texas and not Los Angeles. However, while the two aired back-to-back this season — both returned in January, due to production delays — that will not be the case.
Instead, will continue to air Mondays at 8/7c in the fall, while Lone Star will premiere in the midseason. However, when the system fails and pushes her into hiding, she refuses to be beaten down and marginalized. Instead, she becomes a cleaning lady for organized crime, using her cunning and intelligence to forge her own path in the criminal underworld. The series stars Elodie Yung ("The Hitman's Bodyguard"), Adan Canto ("Designated Survivor,"), Martha Millan ("The OA") and newcomers Valentino and Sebastien LaSalle. The plot revolves around a firefighter who lives in New York with his son. In an attempt to make a better life, he has to try and balance between his personal issues and his duties, where he must save the ones in danger.
To do so, he is accompanied by professional police officers, medical servants, and co-working firefighters. Family appears to be a major factor in the first episode, as Owen Strand and his son TK meet Owen's ex-wife, TK's mother Gwyneth . There's little time for a proper family reunion, however, as not long after Gwyneth comes back to the family does Owen receive an update on his cancer situation. The synopsis isn't clear as to whether the news is good or bad, but either way, it's significant. Tommy Vega is an emergency medical captain whose family has been hit hard by the economic crisis brought about by the pandemic.
Vega's husband's restaurant business took a sharp downward turn during the lockdown, and as a result, Tommy Vega has to return to her job as paramedic captain. She soon becomes the family's main breadwinner and she sorely needs money to take care of her twin eight-year-old boys. The biggest question for fans of these shows is how the new Fox schedule may affect the series' viewership. After all, if fewer people are watching, it's much more likely that Fox will cancel the show, even if it garnered positive reviews like Prodigal Son. This is even more of a concern for a less established spinoff show like Lone Star, which has already had a prominent cast member leave before its second season.
Fox is not the only television network to have been impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak of this year. Several series have created in-depth plans for combatting the spread of coronavirus on-set, such as Real Housewives of New York. Other series have even incorporated the pandemic into the plot of their shows, as is the case with the hit drama This Is Us. We're setting up Owen being able to take a step into the future. I wanted to make sure that everybody's character got service in this what's a big event episode. If any of the characters' arcs got moved forward, it would definitely be Owen's story got moved down the field.
Coming up, you're going to see a lot more exploration and deeper dives into the other characters. In the second season of the series, the emergency responders of Firehouse 126 not only have to deal with life-and-death situations at work but also shocking and surprising events in their personal lives. While Grace and Judd get into a potentially fatal accident, they learn that Grace is pregnant with their child. Owen's relationship with Gwyneth goes through its highs and lows. By the end of season 2, we see that Tommy struggles to put up a brave front amid the shock of her husband's unexpected death.
In the final episode, Austin is subjected to a terrifying dust storm. Whether Owen can overcome his demons and Tommy decides on a job or family, we will probably only find out with the release of the third season. Until then, you can pass the waiting time with the fifth season of the mother series "9-1-1", which is due to start soon in the USA. The renewal of both first responder dramas comes the same day they are airing the penultimate episodes of their current seasons.
The spinoff is produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television and Brad Falchuk Teley-Vision. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear are creators, executive producers and writers on the series. Bradley Buecker is an executive producer and directed the series premiere. Alexis Martin Woodall, Rashad Raisani, John J. Gray, Angela Bassett and Rob Lowe are executive producers. MONARCH is an epic, multi-generational musical drama about America's first family of country music.
The series debuts with a special two-night event beginning Sunday, Jan. 30, immediately following the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP, and continuing on Tuesday, Feb. 1. In MONARCH, from FOX Entertainment, the Romans are passionate and fiercely talented, but while their name is synonymous with honesty, the very foundation of this family's success is a lie. When dangerous truths bubble to the surface, the Romans' reign as country royalty is put in jeopardy. Nicky Roman, the brilliant and fierce heir to the crown, already battling an industry and world stacked against her, will stop at nothing to protect her family's legacy.
Melissa London Hilfers ("Instinct") serves as creator, writer and executive producer. Michael Rauch ("Royal Pains") is an executive producer and showrunner. Gail Berman and Hend Baghdady and Jason Owen also serve as executive producers. The wait has to be extended till the official date of release is out by the production. But going by the previous releases of the show by FOX i.e., first season being aired on January 19, 2020 and second installment being aired on January 18, 2021.
One can expect the series with its third edition to arrive by January of 2022. However, it is just a prediction, and we must wait for the actual announcement to come out. A New York firefighter relocates to Austin, Texas with his son, where he works to save people's lives while trying to solve his own personal problems. Considering the season is said to be premiering before production has wrapped in April, it's likely that we can expect a hiatus at some point in the season while the cast and crew are working on the remaining episodes they're yet to shoot. What do you want to see or think we will see during the crossover event? That means she has to be replaced, and "Back in the Saddle" spends a good chunk of time introducing her successor, even though she was technically Michelle's mentor in the first place.
Anyway, her name is Tommy Vega, she's played by Gina Torres, and she fits right in. She's immediately introduced as the breadwinner of a very charming family, who is returning to work earlier than planned after a leave of absence due to the pandemic. This isn't the only time that the episode mentions Covid-19. It's name-checked several times, and one of the obligatory emergency responses is to save a guy who started choking to death during a Zoom meeting. Because of that, there's a little less character patter than you might be used to in this show, with a couple of plot strands taking precedence and some others being offhandedly dismissed when they could really do with a bit more explanation. It's up and down, then, but much the same as it always was, which is to say pretty damn good and always liable to get even better.

Fox is keeping both shows from the franchise on the same night, so fans can catch all their favorite stories and characters in one two-hour block every Monday evening on Fox. So the idea of making it in Texas and the fact that we were airing in a different time this year, we felt like this was something we could maybe do.
Also, it's a very organic, non-contrived way of getting out-of-state firefighters to work with each other, because that is a real thing. In Monday night's Lone Star crossover episode, the Los Angeles 118 firehouse crew, including Buck , Hen , and Eddie , arrived in Austin to help Captain Owen Strand and the 126 take on a raging wildfire. Of course, things escalated as quickly as, well, wildfire, and soon enough Owen and Hen found themselves trapped in an old mine shaft, confronting some physical and psychological demons.
The actress, who had a multiple-year deal for the Fox procedural, will not return to the Tim Minear drama amid issues related to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Tyler had previously commuted from London to Los Angeles, where the Austin-set series is filmed. Michael Thorn, the president of entertainment at Fox Entertainment, also teased during a pre-upfront presentation conference call with reporters that the new seasons of the two shows will include a crossover event of some kind.
To watch heroic Angela Bassett and Rob Lowe live all you have to do is make sure your TV is set to Fox before tonight at 8 p.m. If you have Sling TV, Hulu + Live TV, or YouTube TV then you already have access to watching Fox live. Absolutely love the show, just wish there were more episodes. I've binge watched them all & got none left to watch Would love to watch series 2 but can't find it anywhere, I'm gutted. A New York firefighter relocates to Austin, Texas with his son, where he works to save people's lives while trying to solve his own personal problems. It's also been reported that both shows would air back-to-back once the football season in the US ends, while in May, after both shows were handed a renewal by Fox, it was teased that fans should "keep an eye out for a crossover in the back half of the season".
The spring premiere will focus on Judd and Grace's relationship, and how they met and eventually fell in love. The episode's flashbacks will take place 18 years prior to the series. By the time the shows are airing back-to-back again, they "need to be on the same timeline because I do think that there is probably in a crossover in the future there," he explains. And yes, "at the moment," the plan is for a major, two-part event like they couldn't do this season.
Instead, Hen , Buck , and Eddie of headed down to Texas to help the 126 with a wildfire in a Lone Star episode. When a documentary crew sets out to explore the lives of residents in a small American town – their dreams, their concerns – they stumble upon the midwestern town of Flatch, which is made up of many eccentric personalities. The series stars newcomers Chelsea Holmes and Sam Straley, Seann William Scott ("Lethal Weapon," "American Pie" franchise), Aya Cash ("The Boys," "You're The Worst"), Taylor Ortega ("Succession") and newcomers Krystal Smith and Justin Linville.
These numbers from TV Series Finale don't account for "+3" views, however, nor does it account for online streaming. So if a show's live numbers seem to pale in comparison to its competition, it behooves the network to carefully analyze streaming numbers on top of Nielsen's live viewership data. The actual date of Lone Star's Season 3 debut hasn't been set in stone, but in keeping with the show's previous release schedules, it will probably arrive in early 2022.
Fox has stated that is also in the works, but that'll most likely happen once football season is over. So long as the show continues to perform well when season 3 does premiere, we have a feeling that we'll continue to see it on the air for quite some time moving forward. Deadline reports that due to the coronavirus pandemic and personal circumstances, actress Liv Tyler wasn't able to be a part of season 2.
Luckily, Suits star Gina Torres stepped in for her and became the new lead alongside actor Rob Lowe. In the third installment, Gina will continue to play Tommy. Right off the bat, we have to point out that the crossover will take place during the third episode of both shows, which will air on February 1, according to The Wrap. New details about the crossover event have been revealed. The second season of the series is expected to release in January 2021. This includes the shows and both of the series will premiere on the same night.
The pandemic makes making the show at all challenging. The other reason that that's something like this is challenging is because we have standing sets. That's for characters' homes, we have a firehouse, we have the call center. So none of my standing sets that I built for my show could I use in this episode. There was a brief moment in Tommy's office, and there's a brief moment where Owen wakes up in the bunk room and then he's in the bathroom at the firehouse. Otherwise everything was on a location, and so that makes it more challenging, certainly.
FOX on Tuesday revealed the first footage of the new season, and it shows the team preparing to do battle with a volcano. TV Line reports that "9-1-1" and its spinoff are the network's top two scripted dramas, respectively averaging 6.5 million total viewers and 5.5 million viewers going into their May 24 season finales. "9-1-1," which stars Angela Bassett and Peter Krause, follows a group of first responders, including paramedics and police officers, in Los Angeles, California. This will mark the second crossover event in the shared "9-1-1" universe, according to The Wrap. Rob Lowe, Ronen Rubinstein (Tyler Kennedy "TK" Strand), Sierra McClain , Jim Parrack (Judson "Judd" Ryder), Natacha Karam , and Gina Torres are all expected to return for season 3.
