As fans eagerly await Season 4 of Fire Country, the stars of the hit CBS drama aren’t just sitting back and waiting. From new projects and personal milestones to public appearances and creative pursuits, the cast is making the most of their time during the off-season. Here’s a look at what your favorite actors are doing while the world waits to return to Edgewater.
Max Thieriot (Bode Donovan): More Than Just a Firefighter
Max Thieriot, the heart and soul behind Bode Donovan, has been deeply involved behind the scenes. As co-creator and executive producer of Fire Country, Max has spent his break collaborating with writers and showrunners to shape Season 4’s explosive storyline.
But Max’s work doesn’t stop there. He’s also been promoting his other CBS show Tracker, where he’s credited as an executive producer. On the personal front, Max continues to share glimpses of family life on social media, showing his devotion to his wife Lexi and their children. He’s often seen fishing, hiking, and spending time outdoors in Northern California—where Fire Country was inspired.
Diane Farr (Sharon Leone): Advocacy, Humor, and Family
Diane Farr, who plays the formidable Sharon Leone, has been vocal about her passion for women’s health and public safety. During the hiatus, Diane has been participating in speaking events and panels, bringing attention to issues like organ donation (mirroring Sharon’s transplant storyline) and equity in emergency services.
She’s also known for her sharp humor online, where she’s been delighting fans with behind-the-scenes throwbacks and self-deprecating posts about her chaotic attempts to stay cool during the break. In between, Diane has also been focusing on raising her three kids and maintaining her writing career—she’s a published author and occasional columnist.
Billy Burke (Vince Leone): Music and Momentum
Vince Leone may have been at death’s door at the end of Season 3, but Billy Burke is thriving. During the off-season, he’s been working on new music—continuing to grow his side career as a blues-rock musician. He’s teased new songs and collaborations on Instagram and has been spotted at live music venues in Los Angeles.
Burke has also made appearances at fan conventions and CBS promotional events, where he’s remained tight-lipped about Vince’s fate but has promised that Season 4 will be “bigger and deeper.” His passion for storytelling and cool, laid-back persona off-screen is a hit with fans.
Stephanie Arcila (Gabriela Perez): New Projects and New Vibes
After Gabriela’s shocking departure at the end of Season 3, fans have been wondering what’s next for Stephanie Arcila. While CBS has remained quiet on whether she’ll return, Arcila herself has been actively working on new projects.
She’s recently wrapped filming for a Latinx drama pilot, while also lending her voice to an upcoming animated series. Off-screen, she’s been vacationing across South America, sharing colorful updates filled with culture, food, and sunshine. Her Instagram remains a haven of motivation, positive energy, and gratitude.
Jordan Calloway (Jake Crawford): Fitness, Friendship, and Faith
Jordan Calloway, who plays the loyal and occasionally impulsive Jake, has been using his break to focus on health and self-reflection. An avid gym-goer, Jordan has been sharing fitness routines and inspiring posts about discipline and mental strength.
He’s also participated in youth outreach programs in Los Angeles and continues to speak publicly about his Christian faith. In recent interviews, Jordan hinted that Jake’s arc in Season 4 would be a “rebirth” and promised fans that some major emotional payoffs were coming.
Kevin Alejandro (Manny Perez): Directing and Expanding His Craft
While Manny continues his redemption arc on-screen, Kevin Alejandro is thriving as both an actor and director off-screen. During the break, he’s directed several short films and TV episodes (including on Lucifer, his former show), and he’s been attending film festivals as a rising director.
Kevin is also spending quality time with family and frequently shares cooking videos, pet moments, and fitness routines. His calm, grounded presence contrasts beautifully with Manny’s fiery nature, but fans are hopeful Season 4 will bring even more depth to his character.
Jules Latimer (Eve Edwards): Spotlight Rising
Jules Latimer has become a fan favorite as Eve Edwards, the strong, openly queer firefighter navigating trauma and leadership. Off-screen, Jules is enjoying a rise in her career.
She’s been active in theater workshops and recently completed a stage production in New York. She’s also been filming a role in a new indie film that tackles mental health—something close to her heart and aligned with Eve’s storylines.
Jules has also spoken at LGBTQ+ advocacy events, earning praise for her articulate views and commitment to authentic representation in Hollywood.
The Cast’s Collective Energy: Bonding Behind the Scenes
While everyone is busy with individual pursuits, the Fire Country cast still shares strong camaraderie. They’ve posted group hangouts, virtual reunions, and birthday celebrations. Many have also done charity events together, supporting real-life firefighter organizations and fire relief funds across California.
Their collective energy and love for the show remain evident. They’ve all expressed deep appreciation for the fan base, and the tone going into Season 4 seems to be one of gratitude, reflection, and excitement for what’s next.
Looking Ahead to Season 4
Production for Season 4 is expected to ramp up soon, and with it, the cast will return to the fire lines of Edgewater. Whether it’s heartbreak, redemption, or new beginnings, the actors seem prepared both mentally and emotionally for the storm ahead.
As we count down to the next season, it’s comforting to know that the stars of Fire Country are not only talented performers but also passionate, purpose-driven people making the most of their time off-screen.
