Max Thieriot reveals exciting new details about Sheriff Country, the upcoming Fire Country spinoff starring Morena Baccarin. Learn how the show will expand the Edgewater universe, premiere in fall 2025, and deliver fresh perspectives.
Max Thieriot, actor, co-creator, and executive producer of Fire Country, is finally opening up about Sheriff Country, the long-anticipated spinoff in the Fire Country universe. Here’s everything he shared about what’s coming to Edgewater and why fans have good reason to be excited.
What Is Sheriff Country
Sheriff Country is a spinoff of Fire Country, centering on Sheriff Mickey Fox (Morena Baccarin), who made her debut in the second season of Fire Country. She’s also the stepsister of Sharon Leone, adding strong connections between the two series.
The new series is set in Edgewater, California—like Fire Country—but focuses on different characters and areas of town than the original show. This means new faces, new conflicts, and new stories.
What Max Thieriot Said
Thieriot shared how proud he is of what the writers’ room has put together so far and how excited he is for the upcoming season. He described his involvement as seeing “bits and pieces” of early developments and being “very proud of what we’ve done so far.”
He emphasized that Sheriff Country will allow viewers to explore parts of Edgewater they haven’t seen before. It’s intended to give a more “whole” view of the community, showing how its people live, survive, and connect beyond the main characters in Fire Country.
Key Details & Premiere Info
The series is expected to debut in the 2025-2026 TV season, with Sheriff Country premiering in fall 2025.
Among the challenges Sheriff Mickey will face: balancing her professional responsibilities as sheriff with personal struggles—family relationships, moral conflicts, and being part of a tight-knit community.
What Makes It Different
While Fire Country largely focuses on firefighters and their struggles, Sheriff Country promises more law enforcement drama, exploring what it means to maintain public safety in a place where everyone knows your name—and sometimes your past.
Expect some emotional depth: familial bonds, moral choices, and how people in small communities deal with personal issues that intersect with public duty. It’s not just crime; it’s personal.
