Fire Country Sheriff Spinoff Star’s Season 2 Debut Episode Confirmed

Fire Country executive producers Max Thieriot and Joan Rater reveal when Morena Baccarin’s Sheriff Mickey will appear, setting the stage for a potential spinoff. The Deadpool actor was confirmed to appear in the series prior to season 2 airing, and it was revealed she is also poised to star in a show set in the same universe. However, it was unclear when she’d make her debut in the shortened season, which is currently airing.

Speaking with TV Insider, Thieriot and Rater revealed that Fire Country season 2 will introduce Baccarin’s Micky in episode 6. Thieriot – who also stars as Bode – called the incoming actor “really fun” and “exciting,” while Rater explained how the episode would go about introducing this new side of the budding franchise. Check out what Rater had to say below:

It’s such a natural kind of intersection of those worlds, and it’s really fun to get to know somebody at the sheriff’s office and to see the interaction of agencies. Morena’s amazing. We’re just so excited to explore that world.

Will The Fire Country Spinoff Happen?

Not much is known about Mickey yet, other than she will be interacting with both Three Rock and Station 42. Rater went on to promise that her integration into the setting of Edgewater, California will be entertaining as the scope of the series briefly expands. Since she’ll be appearing as a guest, it seems the episode will act as a backdoor pilot for the Fire

If the episode manages to impress, then it could be a sign that another show in the universe is on its way in the future. CBS is no stranger to having expanded universes on TV, with both their NCIS and FBI shows having multiple ongoing companion series. The same could happen to Fire Country, which could be used to more thoroughly explore its setting with a variety of public service and law enforcement avenues.

If a spinoff does get picked up, then it would be good news for Fire Country season 3, which would no doubt continue to explore Bode’s role at Three Rock. It could also make for some interesting crossover events, depending on how the Sheriff’s series is structured. With the episode still a few weeks away, it will be some time before more details about Mickey’s first appearance are revealed.
