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

Summary Fire Country is getting a spinoff series with Morena Baccarin's character as the potential main character.

The spinoff is officially confirmed for the 2025-2026 season, and the other characters will likely be introduced in Fire Country.

The spinoff will focus on Sheriff Mickey and her efforts to protect her town against various threats.

The thrilling drama series Fire Country is getting a spinoff series, and there are already a ton of exciting updates about the recently announced 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 season 2. 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 3 also confirmed, the series is being spun off into Sheriff Country soon.
