“This young man would’ve been happy with one season,” Ronen went on to share with fans on social media, adding: “Thank you for changing his life forever. Playing TK this last five years has been the greatest honor of my life.”

“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.”

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!”

Both Rafael Silva, who played Carlos Reyes, and Natacha Karam, who starred as Marjan Marwani, shared reports of the show’s cancellation on social media, confirming the reports; “Wherever the ship sails, grateful for the family I’ve created in this show,” said Rafael, who plays Carlos Reyes.
Lone Star season four ended with Carlos and fiance TK Strand (Ronen Rubinstein) getting married in front of the 126, after the tragic passing of Carlos’ father Gabriel who was shot in cold blood.
Carlos later discovered his father had a secret double life investigating corruption in the Texas Rangers, which reignited Carlos’ quest to bring his father’s killer to justice.
The fifth season will also look different as Sierra McClain will not return as Grace Ryder.
HELLO! confimed that Sierra, a fan favorite who has been on the show since season one, has been written out of the fifth season; it is unclear how the writers have chosen to explain her absence but she will not appear in any episodes.
Jim Parrack, who plays Judd Ryder, Grace’s husband, will appear in season five.
