Zoe Washburne and Jayne Cobb are together again.
Adam Baldwin has been tapped to guest-star in the Tuesday, May 2 episode (Fox, 8/7c) of 9-1-1: Lone Star, reuniting him with former Firefly co-star Gina Torres, TVLine has learned exclusively.
Baldwin will play Austin PD Detective Brian McGregor, “who gets involved with Captain Tommy Vega (Torres) after an emergency rescue goes awry,” according to the official synopsis for his episode, “Donors.” Elsewhere in the hour, “Grace and Carlos suspect there may be a black market organ donor ring in Austin.”
Following his time on Firefly, Baldwin went on to land recurring and series-regular roles on shows like Angel, Chuck, Castle, Law & Order: SVU and The Last Ship. He also returned for 2005’s Serenity, the big-screen continuation of Firefly, in which he also appeared with Torres.
This is hardly Torres’ first time reuniting with a former scene partner on Lone Star. In fact, her character is currently in a relationship with a preacher played by D.B. Woodside, a familiar love interest from her days on Suits and Pearson.
It should also be noted that 9-1-1 boss Tim Minear was an executive producer on Firefly. Reunions all around!
Are you excited to see these two Firefly co-stars sharing the screen again? Feast your eyes on our exclusive first look above, then drop a comment with your thoughts below.
Minear was also an executive producer on Angel.
Yes he was :)
Man, ANGEL was SUCH an amazing series!
I believe he was a writer on Buffy first.
Ugh, super disappointing news. I was looking forward to that episode but I can’t stand Baldwin ever since his part in gamergate.
Yeah, not a fan of him as a person, but I think it’ll be fun to see them share the screen together… especially if he annoys her. I wanna see her shoot a look at him again!
Same. I may even give the episode a miss depending on how much screen time they give him.
I’m just surprised that he got vaccinated. He would have had to to get booked on this show.
if they care less about useless reunions and more about the actual story.
This is one of those times it would be nice to have the 911s in the same TV universe as The Rookie so they could do crossovers with both the Texas and L.A. 911 cast, a fun Firefly reunion. So much better than the Rookies Feds crossovers they keep trying to force on us (without success).
Grazzelled, I totally agree with you and wish they’d do exactly this and get a role for Baldwin as well. Love him. He’s so funny and has such a great dry humor. Miss seeing him. I also wish we’d get a “Chuck” movie/reunion.
AMAZING!
Happy for the reunion, begin watching because of Torres. Love show and cast now.
Can’t wait to see Adam Baldwin back on screen. He’s been away for over a year and I miss him. Also excited to see him on screen with Gina. Two tremendous actors that are underused.
I don’t watch this show. May give it a try if Baldwin guests. I like Torres and I’m not sure I realized she was on this show
