9-1-1: Lone Star has returned with its much-anticipated Season 5, drawing viewers back into the gripping lives of Austin’s first responders. As the new season unfolds, fans are curious about what happened to Judd’s son in 9-1-1: Lone Star and the fate of Sierra McClain’s character, Grace Ryder.
So, what’s the real story behind Grace’s sudden absence, and what happened to Judd’s son, Wyatt? Here’s everything you need to know.
Is Sierra McClain’s Grace Ryder dead or alive in 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5?
Sierra McClain’s Grace Ryder is very much alive in 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5. However, Grace is not in Austin with her husband, Judd Ryder, and their daughter, Charlie.
The season premiere reveals that Grace has taken up volunteer work with a Christian charity abroad. Her character arc was swayed in this direction due to McClain’s exit from the show before Season 5. This departure from the series comes as a result of Sierra McClain’s personal decision to step away from the show.
Executive producer Rashad Raisani recently expressed his deep appreciation for McClain. “I want to make a point to say, I love Sierra McClain. I think she’s essential to the DNA of the show and there is no replacing her, period,” he said. (via TheWrap)
What happened to Judd’s son Wyatt in 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Episode 1?
Season 5 sees Wyatt stepping into a pivotal role as he takes over Grace’s duties at the call center, working as a 9-1-1 dispatcher.
In Season 4, Wyatt was riding his bicycle and was hit by a car. He wasn’t responding when the medical team arrived. Later in the season, viewers were shown glimpses of Wyatt recovering from his injuries. Although Wyatt survived the accident, he suffered severe injuries that left him partially paralyzed, though he still retains his upper body mobility.
The new season is set to explore how these events impact Judd and his family, while also delving into the dynamics at the call center with Wyatt stepping up.
9-1-1: Lone Star features an incredible cast, including Rob Lowe as Captain Owen Strand, Jim Parrack as Judd Ryder, and Jackson Pace as Wyatt Harris.
For those eager to catch up on the latest season, 9-1-1: Lone Star is available for streaming in the U.S. on Hulu.
