Is Fire Country just getting started? According to CBS execs—the answer is a blazing “yes.”
George Cheeks, CEO of CBS, recently revealed that the breakout hit drama has the potential to grow into a sprawling franchise on par with network giants like NCIS and FBI. While no formal roadmap has been released, early signs point to a strategic expansion of the Fire Country universe—and it’s already catching fire.
The first official spinoff, Sheriff Country, is already in development, with Morena Baccarin reprising her role as Mickey Fox, a no-nonsense sheriff navigating crime, family drama, and the smoky tension of Edgewater’s rural battlegrounds. This marks the first step in what could be a multi-show universe centered on fire, law, and survival.
With solid ratings, a loyal fanbase, and the creative force of Max Thieriot behind the scenes, Fire Country is poised not just to return—but to reignite television’s next big franchise era.
So buckle up, because the fire’s spreading… and this universe is only just heating up.
