As Fire Country prepares to blaze back onto screens in 2025, fans are eager to know everything about what’s next for Edgewater’s bravest. After the emotional rollercoaster of Season 3—marked by shocking character exits, devastating fires, and intense personal shifts—Season 4 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated chapters yet. From production updates to plot speculation, here’s a full look at what’s happening behind the scenes of Fire Country Season 4.
Has Filming for Season 4 Finished?
Yes, according to recent reports and social media posts from cast members, filming for Fire Country Season 4 wrapped in late June 2025. Several key cast members, including Max Thieriot (Bode Donovan), posted farewell messages and behind-the-scenes photos from the final days on set. Despite facing some minor setbacks—including reported schedule delays due to extreme weather conditions in Northern California—the cast and crew managed to complete the shoot on time.
Fans also spotted several location shoots around Vancouver and rural British Columbia doubling as Edgewater, with dramatic fire scenes and stunt work confirming that the new season will continue delivering the action-packed visuals that viewers have come to expect.
When Will Fire Country Season 4 Premiere?
CBS has officially announced that Fire Country Season 4 is slated to premiere on Friday, October 3, 2025, at 9/8c. This aligns with the show’s usual fall debut and secures its Friday night anchor position on the network.
The October premiere means fans won’t have to wait too long to see the fallout from the explosive Season 3 finale—including Vince’s death, Gabriela’s departure, and Sharon’s uncertain future at Cal Fire. With a full season reportedly consisting of 13–15 episodes, Fire Country is expected to run through early 2026, with a possible mid-season break.
What to Expect from the Story in Season 4
Season 3 left fans with numerous cliffhangers, and Season 4 is expected to pick up right where things left off. Here are some major arcs to watch for:
-
Bode’s Leadership at Three Rock: Now in a mentoring role, Bode will likely face the challenge of guiding new recruits while managing his own emotional scars from recent losses.
-
Sharon’s Next Chapter: With Vince gone, Sharon must decide whether to stay in Edgewater or step away from Cal Fire entirely. Rumors hint at a powerful arc exploring grief, identity, and legacy.
-
Gabriela’s Possible Return: While Gabriela left in Season 3, there’s speculation she may return for guest appearances, especially if Manny or Bode face major life events.
-
New Characters and Rebuilding Cal Fire: CBS confirmed the addition of two new recurring characters: a no-nonsense fire marshal and a young female inmate with a troubled past—both set to challenge existing dynamics at Three Rock and Station 42.
Cast Confirmed to Return
Season 4 will bring back the show’s core cast, including:
-
Max Thieriot as Bode Donovan
-
Diane Farr as Sharon Leone
-
Jordan Calloway as Jake Crawford
-
Kevin Alejandro as Manny Perez
-
Jules Latimer as Eve Edwards
Although Billy Burke (Vince Leone) will not return as a regular due to the character’s death, he may appear in flashbacks, as hinted by producers.
Behind the Scenes: New Directors and Writers
With Max Thieriot still heavily involved as executive producer, Season 4 also welcomes a few new writers and directors to the team. The new additions reportedly include Emmy-nominated writers from Seal Team, aiming to add deeper emotional resonance and more serialized storytelling to the season.
One standout episode—rumored to be Episode 7—is said to be a “flashback-heavy bottle episode” exploring Sharon and Vince’s early days together, offering longtime fans a heartfelt tribute to their legacy.
A Strong Future Ahead
CBS remains committed to the Fire Country universe. Not only has the network ordered more episodes of the main series, but the previously announced spin-off Sheriff Country, starring Morena Baccarin, is also expected to premiere mid-season in 2026.
This expanded universe means that Fire Country is no longer just a procedural drama—it’s becoming a cornerstone franchise for CBS, akin to the NCIS and FBI brands.
With production complete and the premiere date set, Fire Country Season 4 is poised to deliver its most emotional and intense season yet. The fire is far from out in Edgewater, and the storylines are only growing deeper. Whether you’re in it for the action, the redemption arcs, or the raw emotion, there’s no doubt: Fire Country remains one of CBS’s hottest properties—literally and figuratively.
