CBS is expanding the Fire Country universe with an exciting new spinoff: Sheriff Country. Set in the same fictional town of Edgewater, California, the series promises to shift the focus from firefighting to law enforcement, while maintaining the emotional depth and complex characters fans love.
At the center of the story is Sheriff Mickey Fox, played by Morena Baccarin. Mickey is tasked with keeping Edgewater safe while navigating personal and family challenges, including a complicated relationship with her father, Wes Fox, a man with a troubled past. Her role creates a direct link to the original series, as viewers may recognize familiar family dynamics echoing those of the Leone family from Fire Country.
The spinoff also introduces new characters, including Boone, Mickey’s determined deputy, and Travis, a lawyer/ex‑husband figure who adds layers of drama and intrigue. Fans of Fire Country can expect several crossover appearances, with Sharon Leone and other key characters making guest appearances to tie the two series together.
Set to premiere on October 17, 2025, Sheriff Country will bring a fresh perspective to Edgewater, exploring law enforcement, community struggles, and personal redemption. While the focus shifts from battling wildfires to fighting crime, the core themes remain the same: courage, loyalty, and second chances.
With its mix of action, family drama, and crossover moments, Sheriff Country is poised to attract both longtime Fire Country fans and new viewers looking for a gripping, character-driven series. It’s a chance to see Edgewater from a new angle — where the fires may be different, but the stakes are just as high.
