CBS has officially announced the early renewal of Fire Country for Season 5, following a dramatic surge in ratings during the second half of Season 4. The network confirmed the news via press release just hours after Episode 13 aired, which drew the showโs highest live viewership numbers since its debut.
The episode, which featured a harrowing multi-casualty firestorm and Bodeโs near-death rescue of a child, captured the emotional core of the series and reminded fans why they fell in love with Edgewater in the first place.

While Max Thieriot (Bode) and Diane Farr (Sharon) are confirmed to return, insiders hint that Season 5 will include a time jump โ potentially introducing an older version of Freddyโs daughter and revisiting long-term consequences of Bodeโs choices.
New characters are also rumored, including a controversial figure from Sharonโs past and a rising political candidate seeking to privatize CAL FIRE operations โ a potential new antagonist for Vince and Manny.

Perhaps most exciting, CBS is reportedly in early development stages for a Fire Country spin-off, possibly centered around the Southern CAL FIRE branch โ which could mean more screen time for Audrey and deeper exploration of statewide wildfire response.
Executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer commented: โFire Country is more than just a procedural drama โ itโs a character-driven story about second chances. Weโre only just beginning to explore its world.โ
