LatestOwen and the 126 deal with the aftermath of the asteroid crash in Austin while an even greater threat looms.
Nearly 20 years ago, Owen Strand was the lone survivor of his Manhattan firehouse on 9/11. In the wake of the attack, Owen had the unenviable task of rebuilding his station. After a similar tragedy happens to a firehouse in Austin, Owen, along with his troubled firefighter son, T.K., takes his progressive philosophies of life and firefighting down to Texas, where he helps them start anew. On the surface, Owen is all about big-city style and swagger, but underneath he struggles with a secret he hides from the world - one that could very well end his life.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rob Lowe personally pitched the show after visiting real Austin firehouses post-9/11, and his salary demands nearly killed the budget.
The 126 firehouse name honors the real-life Station 126 in Austin, and the show's diverse casting directly responded to criticism of the parent series' whiteness.
