Are you ready to make your way back to Edgewater? The small town where danger and redemption collide is about to get busier than ever, because Fire Country season 4 is officially making its long-awaited return to CBS this fall. Fans of the Jerry Bruckheimer Television–produced drama have been eagerly counting down the days, and now the wait is almost over. The series, co-created by Max Thieriot, Tony Phelan, and Joan Rater, has captured audiences with its mix of adrenaline-fueled action and deeply human storytelling. At its heart is Thieriot himself, not only the star of the series but also one of its creative minds, who drew inspiration from his own experiences growing up in the fire country of Northern California.
So when should you clear your calendar for the big premiere? CBS has confirmed that Fire Country season 4 will debut on Thursday, October 17, at 8:00 PM ET. That premiere will set the stage for what promises to be another season filled with emotional twists, dangerous rescues, and the kind of high-stakes drama that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. Starting the following week, on October 24, the show will settle into its regular Thursday time slot of 9:00 PM ET, airing new episodes on a weekly basis.
But that’s not all—CBS is doubling down on the Fire Country universe. On the very same night, October 17, fans will also get their first look at the brand-new spinoff Sheriff Country, which premieres at 9:00 PM ET, immediately following the Fire Country opener. The spinoff will then move to its regular slot at 8:00 PM ET beginning October 24, making Thursdays a back-to-back experience in this shared TV universe. At this moment, a full trailer for Fire Country season 4 hasn’t yet been released, but the excitement is already building, with fans speculating about what lies ahead for their favorite characters.
For those who might need a quick refresher, Fire Country tells the story of Bode Leone (Max Thieriot), a man haunted by mistakes of his past who finds redemption and purpose through an unconventional path. Once an inmate, Bode chose to volunteer for the California Conservation Camp Program, which gives prisoners the chance to work directly with Cal Fire—the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection—on the front lines of wildfires. This opportunity allows him not only to pay his debt to society but also to save lives, forging bonds with fellow firefighters while confronting his own inner struggles.
The series has built a powerful ensemble around Thieriot, featuring Kevin Alejandro as Captain Manny Perez, the tough but compassionate leader; Jordan Calloway as Jake Crawford, Bode’s loyal childhood friend whose history with him adds layers of tension and loyalty; Jules Latimer as the determined Eve Edwards; and Diane Farr as Sharon Leone, Bode’s mother, whose emotional journey is one of the show’s most poignant threads.
Fans will also notice a major shift this season: Morena Baccarin’s character, Sheriff Mickey Fox, will no longer appear as a recurring figure on Fire Country. Instead, she’ll be leading the charge in Sheriff Country, marking a bold expansion of this universe as CBS bets big on its success.
With its explosive mix of action-packed rescues, heartfelt family drama, and characters struggling to find redemption in the face of impossible odds, Fire Country season 4 is shaping up to be one of the must-watch TV events of the fall.
