Bode’s role in Fire Country greatly changed at the end of season 2, as earning an extraordinary conduct credit effectively granted him his long-awaited freedom. This forced Bode not to be the conduit to the stories from Three Rock in
Fire Country season 3, creating different challenges ahead for him that had nothing to do with the fire camp.
Bode building a firefighting career within Cal Fire was framed as his biggest objective throughout the season, making it important for
Fire Country season 3, episode 16 to explain what Bode’s parole officer meant in season 3, episode 15’s shocking revelation.

No new episode of Fire Country season 3 will release on the evening of Friday, March 21, 2025, as CBS will continue showing the first round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship, with Troy vs. Kentucky and Xavier/Texas vs. Illinois (via CBS) planning to cover the entire evening’s programming.
Fire Country isn’t the only show whose programming has changed due to March Madness 2025, with many others affected and on a mini-hiatus due to the tournament.

Fire Country is set to return with season 3, episode 16, “Dirty Money,” on Friday, April 4, 2025, three weeks from the release of season 3, episode 15. A trailer for the episode wasn’t released after “One Last Time” aired on March 14, 2025, but a synopsis is available, revealing the surprising return of Bode’s aunt Mickey Fox ahead of Fire Country’s spinoff Sheriff Country arriving as part of the 2025-2026 season. Bode and Mickey are set to investigate together the attempted murder of Mickey’s estranged father Wes, indubitably developing the characters that will be the focus of Sheriff Country.
