CBS has officially announced the release date for Sheriff Country, the highly anticipated spinoff of the hit series Fire Country. The new show is set to premiere in the fall of 2025, marking an exciting expansion of the Fire Country universe, which focuses on unsung heroes in rural California.
Sheriff Country will center around Mickey Fox, a tough and mysterious sheriff, portrayed by Morena Baccarin. Mickey was first introduced in Fire Country Season 3, quickly captivating audiences with her cold demeanor, unwavering principles, and complex personal backstory. In the new series, viewers will follow her as she faces crime, local conflicts, political pressures, and her own secrets.
Unlike Fire Country, which focuses on firefighting and prison rehabilitation, Sheriff Country will delve into the challenges of law enforcement in a rural community—where the lines between right and wrong are often blurred. The show promises intense criminal investigations, high-stakes drama, and a closer look at the human side of those tasked with upholding justice in a small town.
CBS has stated that Sheriff Country will maintain the emotional depth, family dynamics, and action-packed storytelling that made Fire Country a success, while offering a fresh, character-driven narrative. Several familiar characters from Fire Country will make appearances in the spinoff, creating a bridge between the two series.
With a premiere slated for Fall 2025, Sheriff Country is shaping up to be one of CBS’s most anticipated shows of the coming year.
