Gather around, Fire Country fans, the date has been set for our return to Edgewater. Soon, we’ll finally get answers to those burning questions left hanging after that shocking Season 3 finale.
CBS has released its fall schedule for several of its biggest shows, including Fire Country and its highly anticipated spin-off, Sheriff Country. The network had previously confirmed that both series would air back-to-back this fall, and while the schedule keeps that promise, it comes with a slight twist that could shape how the new season unfolds. These premiere dates arrive on the heels of a recently announced special event, where CBS will reveal more details about what audiences can expect from Sheriff Country.
Expect Lots of Crossovers Between 'Fire Country' and 'Sheriff Country'
Crossovers are a hallmark of shows set in the same universe, and with Fire Country and its new spin-off both set in the small town of Edgewater, audiences can expect plenty of crossover moments. These interactions will allow the spin-off to dive deeper into aspects of characters and storylines not fully explored in the main series. In a recent featurette, Thieriot teased the dynamic, explaining: "Because this is the same town, this is the same community, we'll get to see our characters overlap, even outside of our regular characters. Now we get to see them maybe in a different light than we've seen them on Fire Country, maybe doing illegal things. And so it's really kind of just building out that community and having this bigger picture of the sense of place. So audiences really feel like they have a complete understanding of the town."
To build excitement, CBS will air a series of Fire Country reruns this Friday, accompanied by bonus content in the form of a featurette. Thieriot and Baccarin will guide viewers through the new spin-off that will follow Sheriff Fox as she strives to maintain law and order within Edgewater while battling personal issues of her own.
