Max Thieriot's Next Chapter: From Fire Country to His Future Projects

Max the Multi-Hyphenate

Max Thieriot is no longer just the star of Fire Country—he’s its co-creator, executive producer, and creative visionary. But 2025 signals a new chapter. With Fire Country continuing strong into its fourth season, fans are beginning to wonder: What’s next for Max?

While Max remains devoted to Bode Leone, sources close to CBS have revealed he’s in early talks for a new limited series project—an environmental thriller that dives into wildfire prevention and ecological sabotage. This series, inspired by real-world climate concerns, will be produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and executive produced by Max himself.

Stepping Behind the Camera More Often

Though he still appears on-screen regularly, Max has expressed increasing interest in directing. In fact, he’s rumored to be helming two key episodes of Fire Country Season 4. Insiders say these episodes will delve deep into Bode’s inner journey and feature a visual style distinct from previous installments—grittier, more personal, and almost documentary-like.

This shift signals Max’s desire to expand his storytelling toolbox, becoming not just an actor but a full-fledged filmmaker.

Family First: Balancing Hollywood and Home

Despite his growing workload, Max remains grounded. He continues to prioritize his wife Alexis and their two young sons. According to a recent interview, Max revealed that he limits long production trips and often brings his family on location so they can stay connected. “The boys love seeing the fire trucks,” Max said. “They think Dad’s job is the coolest thing in the world.”

He’s also been working on a children’s book project inspired by stories he tells his sons at bedtime. Though still in development, the book—tentatively titled Brave Like Bode—is Max’s love letter to courage, resilience, and fatherhood.

With Fire Country thriving, new creative projects in development, and a happy home life, Max Thieriot’s 2025 is shaping up to be a powerhouse year. Whether he’s running into fictional flames or quietly developing his next hit behind the scenes, one thing is clear: Max isn’t slowing down—he’s just getting started.
