Grace is leaving her role as a dispatcher on 9-1-1: Lone Star for season 5, and her replacement will be her stepson, Wyatt, who is becoming close to his father, Judd, and the Firehouse 126 family. In a new promo for the upcoming season, viewers got a look at Wyatt guiding the team during a train accident with chlorine gas leaking near the crash. While Wyatt has not been officially confirmed as Grace’s replacement, the trailer suggests that he will be stepping into her role.
The last time fans saw the crew of 9-1-1: Lone Star, Grace was assisting her husband, Judd, in caring for their son, Wyatt, after he had a serious accident in season 4. Wyatt needed spinal surgery and had to put his dream of becoming a firefighter on hold. In season 5, Judd resigns from the 126 to focus on helping his son recover. It is speculated that Grace’s absence this season may be due to her taking care of Wyatt, but this has not been confirmed yet.
Sierra McClain, who plays Grace, will be departing from the show for season 5 due to casting renegotiation issues. While there were rumors that season 5 would be the last for 9-1-1: Lone Star, Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade stated that decisions about the show’s future will be made based on how season 5 performs. Wade expressed excitement about the new season and mentioned that the show’s fate will be determined after evaluating its performance.
The uncertainty around the future of 9-1-1: Lone Star has sparked speculations among fans, with rumors swirling about a potential cancellation.
