Sheriff Country: Confirmation, Cast & Everything We Know About The Fire Country Spinoff

The thrilling drama series Fire Country is getting a spinoff, and there are already a ton of exciting updates about the forthcoming show, Sheriff Country. Debuting in late 2022, Fire Country follows prisoner Bode Donovan who joins an unorthodox early-release program that allows him to volunteer as a firefighter in Northern California and work with trained experts to battle massive blazes. With its mix of drama, action, and procedural elements, Fire Country grabbed the attention of viewers during its first season and already has major franchise potential.

Despite only garnering a paltry 50% Rotten Tomatoes critic score, and an even less impressive 45% audience score, Fire Country season 1 did good business for CBS and the network quickly renewed it for seasons 2 and 3. As is the case with many shows like Fire Country, it has the potential to run for several seasons and even leaves many openings for spinoffs set within the same universe. That's why, with Fire Country season 4 also happening, the series is being spun off into Sheriff Country soon.

Sheriff Country Is Confirmed For Fall 2025

Morena Baccarin's Spinoff Gets The Green Light

After CBS introduced the Sheriff Mickey Fox character in Fire Country season 2, it was only a matter of time before the network's plans for a spinoff came to fruition. In May 2024, CBS officially gave Sheriff Country a season order that will see it arrive as part of the 2025-2026 season. This news comes mere weeks after the announcement of Fire Country season 3, proving the show is already blossoming into a bona fide franchise after only a few years on the air.

The series took the next big step in January 2025 when it was announced that Sheriff Country had finally begun filming. Though a release date is not known yet, Sheriff Country will be part of CBS' fall slate alongside Fire Country. Instead of being a midseason addition, the high-profile spinoff will fill one of the newly vacated slots left by the cancellation of S.W.A.T., FBI: International, and FBI: Most Wanted.
