The town of Edgewater was originally introduced when Fire Country premiered in 2022 with inmate Bode (Max Thieriot) returning home and volunteering for the California Conservation Camp Program during season 1 of the hit show. By season 2, a backdoor pilot set up the world of Sheriff Country, which is centered around Sharon’s (Diane Farr) estranged sister Mickey (Morena Baccarin) as she solves crimes in town.
Baccarin has already appeared in two episodes of Fire Country, in which it was revealed that Sharon was at odds with Mickey after her stepsister busted Bode when he was a reckless teenager. After Bode got into more trouble as an adult, Sharon blamed Mickey for not supporting her nephew.
Mickey subsequently dropped a bombshell on Sharon when she revealed her daughter has struggles with addiction. The episode brought Mickey and Sharon closer together as they worked to track down the person who killed Edgewater’s sheriff. Their reconciliation paved the way for more crossovers between Fire Country and Sheriff Country.

According to the official synopsis, Sheriff Country will focus on Baccarin’s Mickey as a “straight-shooting sheriff in a small rural town who must balance the demands of law enforcement with the complexities of motherhood, community politics, and a past that won’t stay buried.”
