Is Rob Lowe’s Owen Strand leaving the 9-1-1 universe after Lone Star’s finale?
As of now, it is not confirmed whether Rob Lowe’s Owen Strand is leaving the 9-1-1 universe after Lone Star’s finale.
The finale of 9-1-1: Lone Star showcased exciting twists and turns, especially regarding the fate of Captain Strand. While fans started speculating about the death of the leading man, the ending left everyone surprised. Owen is shown alive, taking an exit from 126 in Austin, Texas. Owen’s missions seem completed in Texas and he is seen returning to Manhattan, New York City. Although many initially felt that the Captain might exit the 9-1-1 universe as the character’s fate seemed open-ended, the dramatic ending of Lone Star indicates that Owen’s journey might not be over yet and he could be brought back into action soon.
As fans are aware, 9-1-1 Lone Star has come to an end with Season 5. However, the last shot of Owen in the series has made fans hopeful about his return in the other spin-offs of the 9-1-1 universe.
In an interview with TV Insider, Rob Lowe teased about his return to the universe. He expressed that he is “open to anything” until it is not ruining the series’ legacy. The actor shared a similar opinion with Variety. He stated:
“It’s always a function of, what’s the story, what’s the script, who’s doing it, how good is the show? Is it a cheaper, wannabe version, or is it going to continue to have the kind of production value hallmarks that we’re really proud of, that we did on our show? Who knows? We’ll have to see what everything looks like.”
While Lowe’s statements have made fans excited about his return to the universe, it is up to the makers to crack new ideas. It will be interesting to see if Captain Strand appears in future spin-offs of 9-1-1 or not.
