FromFire CountrytoSheriff Country: CBS’s Bold Move to Expand a Rising Franchise
If you’re a fan of well-timed moves and bold decisions, CBS has delivered a major one with the announcement ofSheriff Country. Created by Max Thieriot, Tony Phelan, and Joan Rater, this action-drama is a show that burns with intensity, and the fire it started is only growing stronger.
The buzz started when CBS introduced Sheriff Mickey Fox inFire Countryseason 2, sparking the excitement that a spinoff was surely on the way. It seems like a no-brainer. Who doesn’t love a character whose charm and grit demand a larger stage? And sure enough, in May 2024, CBSmade it official:Sheriff Countrywill arrive as part of the 2025-2026 season. This comes hot on the heels of theFire Countryseason 3 renewal.
This development isn’t just about extending a series; it’s proof thatFire Countryis evolving into a full-fledged franchise. The fact that CBS has given the green light to a spinoff so early speaks volumes about the show’s success and the confidence the network has in its future.
Sheriff Mickey Fox, a character that first emerged as a bit of a wildcard, now gets her own chance to lead a whole new story. Her presence added a certain depth toFire Country, and his upcoming spinoff promises to be much more than just a continuation of his character’s journey.
Now, before you might be asking, “But wait—Fire Country only got a 50% rating onRotten Tomatoes, with the audience barely giving it a better score at 45%—isn’t that a red flag?”Well, here’s the thing. Not all heroes wear capes, and not all shows need to be critically acclaimed to pull in the audience.
Fire Countrymay have had its critics, but it struck a chord where it mattered: people watched it. And not just any people—CBS saw the potential, quickly green-lighting a second season and even a third. That’s not a fluke; that’s proof that people are hungry for more of whatever’s cooking.
When WillSheriff CountryBe Released?
If there’s one thing that’s true about TV these days, it’s that no good story ever stays confined to just one show. TakeFire Country, for example. What began as a gripping series about brave firefighters fighting more than just flames, has now sparked something bigger—a spinoff. EnterSheriff Country, where Mickey Fox (played byMorena Baccarin), the tough-as-nails sheriff, will take the lead in a crime investigation drama set in the picturesque yet troubled town of Edgewater.
As CBS rolls out plans forSheriff Countryto debut in the 2025-2026 season, excitement is already simmering. According to CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach,Sheriff Countryis “hot”, and with good reason (viaVariety).
Reisenbach also hinted at the time it will take to perfect the cast, production, and marketing, making it clear that this spinoff isn’t going to be rushed—it’s a golden opportunity to build something exceptional. Max Thieriot, the executive producer behind bothFire CountryandSheriff Country, is equally optimistic.
Speaking withGood Housekeeping, Thieriot expressed his excitement about expanding the world of Edgewater beyond the fires.
I think this has really resonated with the audience. The idea of this small town, this community, and how all these people sort of fit in. Us opening up the world more to see more of this community and this town, we’ve always been very excited about.
InSheriff Country, Mickey Fox’s investigative skills will be tested as she delves into various crimes in Edgewater. But it’s not just the criminal cases that will keep us hooked. Her complicated family dynamics—including a former convict father and a rebellious daughter caught in a troubling accident—take us deep into personal and emotional territory.
IfFire Countryhas proven anything, it’s that this is a franchise on fire, andSheriff Countryis only going to heat things up even further.

Sometimes, all it takes is one name to get the excitement wheels turning. And when you hear that Morena Baccarin will be front and center inSheriff Country, it’s safe to say the buzz is palpable. The very mention of her name conjures up memories of her powerhouse performances in shows likeGothamandFirefly.

According to Max (via Good Housekeeping), an insider on the project, viewers are in for a treat when they see her bring Mickey to life. He praises Baccarin, calling her portrayal“authentic to the world”ofSheriff Country.
She’s charismatic and strong. She has all the qualities you want and really like in a character. I think people will feel she instantly feels authentic to the world — like a character who is very lived in and belongs there.
It’s no surprise—Baccarin’s knack for embodying strong, multifaceted characters has always been one of her signature traits. But what truly has fans excited is the potential chemistry between Baccarin’s Mickey and Diane Farr’s character.

Farr, herself thrilled to be part of theFire Countryuniverse, shared her excitement about working with Baccarin. She teased that their characters could end up in some intriguing, albeit messy, situations (viaTV Insider).
If you take two strong alpha females with really big jobs and children that they’re responsible for and families that weren’t exactly above board… I’d love to get them to be silly, irrational, and make crappy choices together.
Now that sounds like a dynamic worth watching.
In short,Sheriff Countryhas a star-studded lead in Morena Baccarin, and with potential storylines that promise bold moves and unexpected turns, this show is shaping up to be one you won’t want to miss.
