Huh? 9-1-1's Nashville Spinoff Sounds So Much Like Lone Star, And Now I'm More Confused About Its Cancelation

9-1-1: Lone Star may be over, but the franchise’s upcoming Tennessee spinoff seems eerily similar, for better or worse. The Texas-based offshoot of the franchise began in 2020, with Rob Lowe leading the 9-1-1: Lone Star cast as Captain Owen Strand, a firefighter who moves to Texas with his son, TK (Ronen Rubinstein). Together, the father-son duo build a firehouse in Austin, Texas following the disaster that killed the previous 126 crew, save for Judson “Judd” Ryder (Jim Parrack). Along with Judd, Owen assembles a dream team to respond to quirky and catastrophic emergencies in the greater Austin area.
