9-1-1: Lone Star Return Delayed: Here's When to Watch It
Rob Lowe and company will return with a fourth season a little later than previously expected.
Are you tired of waiting for the return of Rob Lowe and the rest of the 9-1-1: Lone Star crew? Well, too bad, because it looks like the wait is going to be a little longer than we thought.
Yes, you read that correctly. Instead of the highly-anticipated January 17 premiere, Fox has decided to push back the return of the successful spinoff to 9-1-1 to January 24. But why, you might ask? The culprit, it seems, is none other than Fox's hit medical drama The Resident.
You see, the final episode of The Resident's sixth season was supposed to air on January 10, but Fox decided at the last minute to split it into two parts, with the first airing on January 10 and the second on January 17. And since The Resident has been a major hit for all six seasons of its run, Fox decided to let it run free on the second date, pushing back the premiere of Lone Star to another week.
Now, fans of The Resident might argue that they deserve a proper goodbye to their favorite series, and they're not wrong. But fans of Lone Star have been waiting nearly eight months for the show to return, and a one-week delay might feel like torture.
But unfortunately, this is the reality we live in, and we'll just have to suck it up and wait until January 24 when it finally airs.
In any case, let's hope the fourth season will be worth the wait, despite Owen Strand's continuing battle with lung cancer, fans are still excited to see him. And let's be real, even with the delay, we know that the winning formula of the original 9-1-1 will extend to other characters and locations without losing its charm. But we'll just have to wait and see.
