    AceShowbiz – Liv Tyler won’t return for the second season of hit U.S. drama “9-1-1: Lone Star” due to COVID-related travel concerns.
    The actress portrayed a paramedic Emergency Medical Services captain, opposite Rob Lowe, on the TV series, which debuted earlier this year and she was planning to reprise the character for a second season.
    But she has opted not to risk her health and travel from London, where she lives with her family, to Los Angeles and back to film the show.

    TV bosses tell Deadline her role will not be recast in the hope that Liv’s character will return in the future.
    “What a thrill it was having a movie star of Liv Tyler’s stature to help us launch the first season of ‘911: Lone Star’,” series co-creator and executive producer Tim Minear tells the outlet. “We loved working with Liv and will be forever indebted to her for her haunting, powerful portrayal of Michelle Blake. While we were able to tell a complete chapter in Michelle’s story… there are more stories to be told. The door here will always be open for a return.”
    The news comes days after it was announced Gina Torres is joining the show as a Paramedic Captain.
    The uncertainty surrounding travel amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has reportedly made it difficult for Tyler to continue working on the “9-1-1” spin-off. She lives in London with her partner and children, including a 5-year-old and a 4-year-old. In the last season, her kids joined her in L.A. during vacations and she went back and forth at the other time so that she wasn’t being away from her children for long.

      The new ‘9-1-1’ spin-off fronted by Rob Lowe is expanding with the addition of Gina Torres as a new series regular for the upcoming sophomore installment.
      Sep 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actress Gina Torres will reunite with showrunner Tim Minear for a regular role on “9-1-1: Lone Star”.
      The former “Suits” actress worked with Minear on the sci-fi classic “Firefly” in 2002, and they’re set to reunite as Torres begins work on the show as Tommy Vega – a once prolific paramedic captain who called it quits eight years earlier in order to raise her two twin daughters.
      With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing her husband’s restaurant out of business, Vega is getting back in the saddle and re-entering the workforce to support her family and show the world she’s still got what it takes.
      “We are so excited to be expanding our 911-verse with the addition of Gina Torres,” said Minear. “I’ve been dying to write for her again ever since Firefly.”
      “Gina brings warmth, intelligence and command to everything she does. 2020 is finally looking up,” he added.
      “9-1-1: Lone Star” is slated to resume filming this autumn (20) and the series is scheduled to premiere in early 2021.
