"From the start, fans have followed the heroic and deeply moving stories of the men and women who make up Austin’s 126, so a huge thanks to one of the greatest creative teams in all of television — Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear — for creating one of the most action-packed dramas anywhere" Fox TV Network President Michael Thorn said.

"Now in our final season of the show, we’re set to give it the high-stakes send-off it deserves, complete with breathless rescues, insurmountable odds and relatable personal struggles, thanks to our incomparable, stellar cast led by Rob Lowe and Gina Torres."

Gina Torres joined the series in season two

The news will not come as a major surprise, as it was reported earlier in the summer that cast members had yet to renew contracts and the studio failed to offer negotiations after the end of the 2023 SAG strikes. 

Robyn Lively, who has a recurring role as Marlene Harrism the mother of Judd’s (Jim Parrack) son, also seemingly confirmed the rumors in a now-deleted tweet which read: "So excited to be a part of @911lonestar’s final season!! What a ride it’s been!"
