As many expected, 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5 is set to be the procedural drama TV show’s last, and many things must happen before it ends.
Gabriel’s death occurs when he is getting ready to attend his son’s wedding to TK (Ronen Rubenstein). He answers the door and gets shot by an unknown assailant, with his murder hanging over the rest of season 4’s episodes. This will add another wrinkle to the final episodes of the spinoff, which will welcome actor Parker Young as Campbell. He’ll play Campbell, Carlos' partner, andit’s teased that the two have a special chemistry.
Our Take On Actors Returning For 9-1-1: Lone Star
It’s Likely To Happen
Although it’s not explicitly stated, the spinoffwill likely want to wrap its stories by bringing back at least a few familiar faces and provide audiences with a sense of closure. Over the years, there have been game-changing exits and emotional departures that may be addressed in some way as the spinoff prepares to say goodbye.
The spinoff’s cast also includes Rob Lowe, Gina Torres, Jim Parrack, Natacha Karam, Brian Michael Smith, Julian Works, and Brianna Baker, in addition to Kelsey and Skyler Yates and Jackson Pace.
Still, of all the potential character cameos, Gabriel Reyes may be the most likely candidate to appear in9-1-1: Lone Starseason 5 since his storyline is still so closely tied to Carlos and his son’s new chapter as a Texas Ranger. A flashback may also provide more details into his death.
