“9-1-1: Lone Star” is coming back for Season 5 in the fall of 2024, leading the lineup which also features the postponed lifeguard drama “Rescue: HI-Surf,” “The Masked Singer” and other returning favorites.
The fifth season of “9-1-1: Lone” will be back after more than a year since the last episode aired in May 2023. The show will air on Monday nights at 8 p.m., followed by “Rescue: HI-Surf” at 9 p.m. The lifeguard series “Rescue HI-Surf,” produced by John Wells and Matt Kester, showcases the lives of lifeguards who oversee the north shore of Oahu, a renowned and hazardous coastline.
The cast of “Rescue: HI-Surf” includes Robbie Magasiva, Arielle Kebbel, Adam Demos, Kekoa Kekumano, Alex Aiono and Zoe Cipres. The series is a collaboration between Warner Bros. Television and Fox Entertainment Studios. Matt Kester is the creator, executive producers and co-showrunners are Kester, John Wells and Daniele Nathanson, and Erin Jontow is also an executive producer. Kester will pen the first episode, and Wells will direct the initial two episodes.
Tuesdays will feature the second season of “Accused,” which was similarly delayed by the strike, followed by Canadian co-production “Murder in a Small Town.” Based on the Edgar Award-winning “Karl Alberg” book series by novelist L.R. Wright, “Murder in a Small Town” centers on Karl Alberg (played by Rossif Sutherland), a former big-city cop seeking solace in a tranquil coastal town. However, this peaceful haven holds many secrets, and Karl must utilize all his detective skills to solve the ongoing murders that disrupt the seemingly perfect setting. Kristin portrays Cassandra, a local librarian who becomes Alberg’s inspiration, counterpart and love interest.
“Murder in a Small Town” is a production by Sepia Films in association with Fox Entertainment and Jeff Wachtel’s Future Shack Entertainment. The series will be filmed in British Columbia, with Ian Weir as head writer/EP, Milan Cheylov as an executive producer and director of several episodes, and Nick Orchard (Soapbox Productions), Morris Ruskin, Sharon Wisnia (Mojo Global Arts) and Jon Cotton also serving as executive producers.
New series “Doc” and the recently approved comedy “Going Dutch” featuring Denis O’Leary will debut in midseason.
“The Masked Singer” will remain on Wednesdays for Season 12, alongside Season 2 of game show “The Floor,” hosted by Rob Lowe. Thursdays will kick off with a fresh season of “Hell’s Kitchen” at 8 p.m., followed by Season 2 of “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.” Football will then dominate the network’s schedule on Fridays and Saturdays, while Sunday nights will continue with an animation block, featuring the introduction of the new animated series “Universal Basic Guys,” which has already been renewed for a second season.
"Family Guy," "The Great North" and "Grimsburg" will be back in the middle of the season.
"Universal Basic Guys" is a show about two brothers, Mark and Hank Hoagies, who lose their jobs because of automation and start getting $3,000 each month from a new basic income program. They are using the money and free time to find purpose in a world where they are no longer needed. The series is made by Fox Entertainment's Bento Box Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television, with Adam and Craig Malamut as executive producers. Dan Lagana is the executive producer and showrunner for Season 1, and Rob Rosell will be the executive producer and showrunner for Season Two.
In the fall, there will also be a special show about prostate cancer called "The Real Full Monty." Male celebrities like Anthony Anderson, Taye Diggs, Chris Jones, Tyler Posey, Bruno Tonioli and James Van Der Beek will bare all to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancer testing and research.
