This fall, CBS isn’t just bringing Fire Country back for Season 4—it’s also launching its first spin-off, Sheriff Country, on October 17, 2025, immediately following the Season 4 premiere.
The new series stars Morena Baccarin (Deadpool, Homeland) as Sheriff Mickey Fox, a tough and determined law enforcement officer in Edgewater. Unlike Fire Country, which centers on firefighting and second chances, Sheriff Country dives into crime, justice, and family secrets in a small California town.
Mickey Fox is not just any sheriff—she’s a woman caught between duty and personal struggles. Her complicated relationship with her estranged father, who has a criminal past, and the mystery surrounding her daughter’s future, promise to bring an emotional depth similar to what made Fire Country resonate with fans.
Interestingly, Max Thieriot (Bode Donovan) is confirmed to make a cameo in the pilot episode, ensuring a direct link between the two shows. This move sets the stage for crossovers, expanding the storytelling possibilities in the Fire Country universe.
Behind the scenes, Morena Baccarin admitted that joining the project was a “big time tough” decision because of family and filming logistics. Ultimately, she signed on, and CBS adjusted the production to make it work. That level of commitment signals the network’s confidence that Sheriff Country will be more than just a spin-off—it’s a cornerstone of a growing franchise.
With Fire Country already one of CBS’s most-watched dramas, Sheriff Country has the potential to build on that success while carving out its own identity. Fans can expect gritty investigations, high-stakes drama, and the same emotional core that made Fire Country a hit.
October 17 won’t just mark the return of Bode Donovan’s journey—it will also introduce viewers to Mickey Fox, a new hero with her own fire to fight.
