Fire Country is roaring back for Season 4—but with big surprises. Discover which key stars won’t return, who remains, and how this season sets the stage for the Sheriff Country spinoff.
Fire Country Season 4 Cast Shake-up: Who’s Out, Who’s In, and What’s Next
As Fire Country gears up for its fourth season, fans are bracing for emotional farewells, familiar faces, and bold new directions.
Major Departures: Losses That Resonate
Two beloved original cast members will not return as series regulars for Season 4:
-
Billy Burke (Chief Vince Leone) is confirmed to be departing the show. His exit follows the Season 3 finale’s explosive cliffhanger—leaving fans wondering whether his character survived the collapsing building.
-
Stephanie Arcila (Gabriela Perez), Bode’s firefighter and romantic counterpart, is also exiting after three seasons. Creators confirmed the move was driven by creative direction—not finances—and hinted she may return as a guest. The decision centers on resetting the dynamic between Bode and Gabriela, opening pathways for fresh storylines and emotional stakes.
The Cast Still Standing Strong
Despite these departures, core cast members are returning to fend off the flames:
-
Max Thieriot reprises his role as Bode (formerly Leone), now working as a full-fledged Cal Fire firefighter. He’s not only the series’ heart—but also one of its creators and an executive producer.
-
Diane Farr (Sharon Leone, Bode’s mother and Cal Fire Division Chief), Kevin Alejandro (Manny Perez), Jordan Calloway (Jake Crawford), and Jules Latimer (Eve) are expected to continue delivering drama and action at Station 42.
Production and Premiere Details
-
Filming kicked off mid-July in Vancouver, stretching into early 2026.
-
A confirmed premiere date: Fire Country Season 4 will ignite screens on October 17, 2025, on CBS, airing Friday nights.
-
The season launches alongside the much-anticipated spinoff, Sheriff Country, expanding the Fire Country universe with interwoven stories in Edgewater.
What Lies Ahead
With Vince and Gabriela gone from the core crew, Edgewater’s firefighting team faces grief and reorganization. Bode must navigate life post-loss while maintaining his redemption mission. Meanwhile, Sheriff Country—featuring Morena Baccarin returning as Sheriff Mickey Fox—will deepen the shared universe and bring fresh challenges to familiar ground.
