CBS is inviting you to visit Sheriff Country this fall.
Nearly 11 months after the Morena Baccarin-led Fire Country spinoff was ordered to series, a first promo (that uses footage from Baccarin’s next Fire Country appearance) confirmed that it, like the Blue Bloods spinoff Boston Blue, will have a home on CBS’ fall schedule.
Baccarin next appeared in the Friday, April 4 episode of Fire Country, which is titled “Dirty Money.” In that episode, Bode (series co-creator Max Thieriot) and his aunt Mickey investigate the attempted murder of her estranged father, Wes Fox (played by Sheriff Country‘s W. Earl Brown).
Here is everything else we know about the Sheriff Country spinoff….
Why Did Fire Country Get a Spinoff?
What Is the Fire Country Spinoff About?
Who Will Star in the Spinoff?
Back in December 2023, CBS/CBS Studios began the process of casting a female sheriff character who would first appear in a Season 2 Fire Country episode. In January 2024, it was reported that Morena Baccarin (Gotham, Homeland) would pop up on Fire Country as a guest star — with an option for a series regular role in the spinoff if Sheriff Country wound up ordered to series.
Baccarin guest-starred in the April 12, 2024 episode of Fire Country as Mickey Fox, a sheriff’s deputy with 15 years of experience, and who is fiercely protective of her Edgewater, Calif. turf. She also appeared in the April 4, 2025 episode of Fire Country, as did W. Earl Brown (Deadwood, Preacher) as Mickey’s father, Wes, an off-the-grid marijuana grower who lives a semi-reclusive life in the mountains of Edgewater, allowing only a select few to know the location of his operation. Wes’ illegal business creates tension with LEO daughter Mickey. Wes, however, is kind and generous toward his family, particularly his granddaughter Skye (Degrassi: The Next Generation‘s Amanda Arcuri).
The Sheriff Country cast also includes Christopher Gorham (Covert Affairs) as Travis Fraley, Mickey’s lawyer ex-husband and the father of Skye, whom they’ve helped through struggles with addiction; Matt Lauria (CSI: Vegas) as Nathan Boone, a smart and capable chief deputy/Mickey’s right-hand man; and Michele Weaver (Love Is___) as Cassidy Campbell, a deputy who was inspired by Mickey to become a sheriff.
The recurring cast includes the aforementioned Arcuri as Mickey’s wayward daughter Skye, plus Caroline Rhea (Sabrina the Teenage Witch) as Gina, Sheriff Fox’s deadpan and efficient assistant and the face of the Edgewater County Sheriff’s Office.
