The hit 9-1-1: Lone Star is coming to an end, but it looks like another 9-1-1 spinoff series is taking its place. A new 9-1-1 spinoff is reportedly in the works, with a tentative location yet to be revealed.
According to Deadline, a second 9-1-1 spinoff series is being developed by ABC, led by Ryan Murphy and Tim Minear. Hawaii has reportedly emerged as a possible setting for the planned new show. It was previously reported that Las Vegas was a contender for the spinoff, but the focus is now said to be primarily on the Aloha State. However, the project has yet to be officially greenlit, and ABC has yet to comment on the news.

Hawaii is an interesting choice, as it was the setting for another recently canceled spinoff series. After three seasons, NCIS: Hawaii was canceled by CBS, airing its final episode last May. However, this is a new location for the 9-1-1 universe. 9-1-1: Lone Star is set in Austin, Texas, while the original 9-1-1 took place in Los Angeles, California. ABC is now the home of the original 9-1-1 after the series was previously canceled by Fox. Lone Star is not expected to continue airing on ABC, as the focus is reportedly on developing the next spinoff series.
Lone Star had been in a bubble for some time before it was officially canceled, although the cast and crew had been expecting the end to come. Co-showrunner Rashad Raisani previously confirmed that season five was written in such a way that it could serve as the series’ final season, as it seemed unlikely that Season 6 would happen. This would allow the characters to have a satisfying conclusion when the final episode aired.
After five years, Angela Bassett’s Athena Grant brought one of 9-1-1’s most heartbreaking storylines to an end.
“It was hard, but my feeling was always, I want to end this series in a way that gives you a great sense of a journey and a sense of closure for these characters but doesn’t necessarily mean that it can’t have a new life, if by a stroke of luck, that can happen,” she told Variety. “But I wanted it, just in case, and assuming that it was going to be our last episode, I really wanted to give us that last episode so that people felt like, ‘Okay, I got to know these people and I feel like I’m leaving these people in a better place where I’ve watched them grow.’” 9-1-1 is in the middle of its eighth season on ABC. Following first responders in L.A., the series stars Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, Olisver Stark, Aisha Hinds, Kenneth Choi, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ryan Guzman. 9-1-1: Lone Star also follows first responders in the Lone Star State, starring Rob LLowe, Ronen Rubinstein, Jim Parrack, Natacha Karam, Brian Michael Smith, Rafael L. Silva, Julian Works, Gina Torres, Brianna Baker, Skyler Yates and Jackson Pace. Both shows are created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Tim Minear.
