Fire Country has been on hiatus for the past couple of weeks, thanks to March Madness.
It’s been a rough time for Fire Country fans who had to go nearly two months without the show, only to have three new episodes air before another break.
This came as Season 4 of the hit CBS show has been barreling along with drama and a cast shake-up.
Is Fire Country on Tonight?
Fire Country fans can rejoice because the show is back tonight, Friday, April 3. A brand-new episode will air, and it’s one fans won’t want to miss.
The first-ever Fire Country and Sheriff Country event is taking place. Much like in the One Chicago world, the two shows will have a seamless storyline.
Sheriff Country and Fire Country Crossover Event
As Parade reported, the crossover features a mystery bus explosion that takes over Edgewater after it causes nine teens to go missing, forcing Sharon (Diane Farr) and Cal Fire to work closely with Mickey (Morena Baccarin) and the sheriff’s department.
The episode, titled “The Bravest,” airs at 9/8c and is a continuation of Sheriff Country’s episode titled “The Finest,” airing at 8/7c. Baccarin is joined by her co-stars Matt Lauria (Boone) and W. Earl Brown (Wes) for the special crossover.
Sharon isn’t the only Fire Country star to appear on Sheriff Country, either. Bode (Max Thieriot) and Eve (Jules Latimer) will also appear in the episode.
A synopsis for “The Bravest” reads, “With the clock ticking and the fate of nine missing students on the line, firefighter Bode Leone and Deputy Nathan Boone must risk it all in order to save innocent lives, in part two of the two-hour SHERIFF COUNTRY and FIRE COUNTRY cross over event.”
Christine Lahti is back as Sharon’s estranged mother, Ruby, for the crossover. Ruby’s presence has a major impact on not only Sharon but also Mickey and Wes.
It’s not all drama in Edgewater, though. CBS gave a sneak peek of a moment from the crossover featuring Eve and Wes at Smokey’s, showcasing their musical talent and bringing the town together.
Fans were thrilled with the tease because it’s been a while since music was featured on Fire Country. In fact, the show has been lacking in music since Billy Burke’s (Vince) departure.
The Fire Country return kicks off a string of new episodes leading to the Season 4 finale on Friday, May 22.
Along with Farr, Thieriot, and Latimer, Fire Country stars Jordan Calloway (Jake), Kevin Alejandro (Manny), and Michael Trucco (Luke).
Fire Country airs Fridays at 9/8c on CBS.
