CBS has made two key additions to the cast of its Fire Country spinoff Sheriff Country, including Christopher Gorham (Covert Affairs) in a series-regular role.
As first reported by our sister site Deadline, Gorham will appear as Travis, a lawyer and the ex-husband of Morena Baccarin’s Sheriff Mickey Fox. Travis and Mickey share a daughter named Skye, whom they’ve helped through struggles with addiction, and the pair might still have feelings for each other… but it’s complicated.
Additionally, Michele Weaver (Love Is_, Council of Dads) has been cast in the series-regular role of Cassidy, a deputy in the Edgewater County Sheriff’s Department. Cassidy was inspired by Mickey to become a sheriff, which has led her to put Mickey on a pedestal as she tries to carve out her own identity in law enforcement.
Filming in Toronto and premiering this fall, Sheriff Country stars Baccarin as straight-shooting sheriff Mickey Fox — the stepsister of Fire Country‘s Sharon Leone — who investigates criminal activity as she patrols the streets of small-town Edgewater while contending with her ex-con father (Deadwood‘s W. Earl Brown) and a mysterious incident involving her wayward daughter. (Sheriff Country is not to be confused with Fire Country: Surfside, a potential 2026-27 spinoff to be led by Jared Padalecki if his possible CBS medical drama doesn’t pan out.)
The OG Fire Country has already been renewed for Season 4.
