Fire Country Spinoff 'Sheriff Country' Premieres This Friday

As the 2025-2026 TV season kicks into high gear, viewers are about to get a new addition to the Fire Country universe. This Friday, October 17, 2025, the series premiere of the spinoff show, Sheriff Country, is set to air on CBS.

The new series, which takes place in the same small town of Edgewater as Fire Country, will follow Morena Baccarin's character, Mickey, the current sheriff. Unlike the flagship series, which focuses on firefighters, Sheriff Country will be all about solving and fighting crime in the local community.

However, the two shows are closely connected, as Mickey and Sharon, the Cal Fire Division Chief and Bode's mom on Fire Country, are stepsisters. This family connection was established in the original series and has now set the stage for the spinoff.
