CBS Eyeing Third 'Country' Series Set in Edgewater
15 Apr
Summary
- A new medical drama is in early development, set in Edgewater, CA.
- This series would expand the Fire Country and Sheriff Country franchise.
- The potential spin-off is executive produced by franchise creators and producers.
CBS is developing a potential third series in the Fire Country franchise, this time focusing on a medical team. The fictional Northern California town of Edgewater, already the setting for Fire Country and its spin-off Sheriff Country, is slated to be the backdrop for this new drama. This expansion represents a strategic move by CBS, following the successful franchise building of its popular firefighter series.
The proposed show, currently untitled, is in its very early stages and is being eyed for development by CBS TV Studios. Sources indicate that a character from this new medical series could be introduced in the second season of Sheriff Country, mirroring the strategy used to launch the Sheriff Country spin-off itself. This cross-pollination aims to further solidify the interconnected universe.
This initiative aligns with past statements from CBS leadership, who previously expressed intentions to grow the Fire Country brand into a larger franchise. The success of Fire Country as the No. 1 most-watched new series in its freshman season, and Sheriff Country as the No. 2 new series this past fall, has paved the way for this expansion. Both series have already secured renewals for the 2026-27 television season.
