It is no secret that the past four seasons of “911: Lonestar” have been successful and have driven the show to film a fifth season.
About the show
From car crashes to cyberattacks, the “911,” spin-off “911 Lonestar” offers a different perspective on emergencies.
With the undeniable love and rocky relationship between police officer Carlos Reyes who is portrayed by Rafael L. Silva and firefighter/paramedic TK Strand who is portrayed by Ronen Rubinstein, the show always keeps us on our toes with an ever changing plot.
Long time firefighter, 9/11 survivor and father Owen Strand, portrayed by Rob Lowe, stars as TK Strands’s father and fire captain in Austin, Texas after being asked to relocate from New York City to rebuild Firehouse 126 and create a new family.
Along the way, we meet the new members of the firehouse and EMT team, Judd Ryder played by actor Jim Parrack, Marjan Marwani played by actress Natacha Karam, Paul Strickland played by Brian Michael Smith and Mateo Chavez played by Julian Works. The 126 EMTs that we meet throughout the show are Nancy Gillian portrayed by Brianna Baker, Timothy Rosewater portrayed Mark Elias, Michelle Blake portrayed by Liv Tyler, TK Strand portrayed by Ronen Rubinstein (joins the paramedic team in later seasons) and Tommy Vega who is portrayed by actress Gina Torres (joins the team in later seasons). In addition to this, we also meet the main 911 dispatcher and Judd’s wife Grace Ryder who is played by Sierra McClain.
