Fox has renewed both "9-1-1" and spin-off "9-1-1: Lone Star" for new seasons. The network has ordered a fifth season of the hit first-responders procedural drama series "9-1-1" and a third season of spin-off "9-1-1: Lone Star".

"9-1-1" and "9-1-1: Lone Star" are Fox’s top two scripted so the renewals are not a surprise. "9-1-1" will return to the fall after its fourth season premiered in January due to the pandemic, while "9-1-1: Lone Star", which also premiered its first two seasons in January, will return midseason.

Michael Thorn, President of Entertainment at Fox, also teased a crossover event between the two shows for next season.
