Lone Star is an American drama television series which originally ran on Fox from September 20, 2010 to September 27, 2010, airing Monday nights at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Fox announced Lone Star's cancellation on September 28, 2010 after two low-rated episodes. This is the first cancellation of the 2010-11 television season.
Robert Allen (James Wolk), a Texan con-man, leads a secret double life. As "Bob", he is married to Cat and living in Houston while working for his oil-tycoon father-in-law. Four hundred miles away in Midland, he is "Robert" in a second life with girlfriend Lindsey. As he schemes to take control of the oil business and finds himself torn between the love of two women, he must fight to keep his web of lies from falling apart.
In October 2009, Fox made a script-plus-penalty commitment with writer Kyle Killen. In mid-January 2010, Fox placed a cast-contingent pilot order under the working title Midland.Marc Webb was signed to direct the pilot episode. In early February, Amy Lippman, Chris Keyser, Kerry Kohansky Roberts, and Paul Weitz were all named as executive producers.
Casting announcements began in mid-February 2010. James Wolk was the first actor cast, in the lead role of Robert Allen. Next to sign on was Eloise Mumford, as Allen's girlfriend, Lindsay. In March, Adrianne Palicki and Bryce Johnson were cast as siblings Cat and Drew Thatcher. Cat is married to Robert. Jon Voight was cast as Clint Thatcher, and David Keith cast as John Allen, to portray the patriarchs of their respective families. Mark Deklin and Hannah Leigh rounded out the main cast at the end of March. Deklin filled the role of Trammell, an elder brother to Cat and Drew, while Leigh played Cat's daughter, Grace.
The pilot was filmed in Dallas, Texas, during the second half of March 2010. Fox green-lit the project to series in mid-May under the new name Lone Star. At the network's upfront presentation, Fox announced that the series would be part of the Fall 2010–11 television schedule, airing on Mondays at 9 pm. The series was filmed in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas. Lippman and Keyser served as showrunners for the series, which began filming additional episodes in late July 2010.
