Sheriff Country Teaser: Fire Country Spinoff Set for Fridays This Fall
Set for Fridays this fall, check out CBS's teaser for Morena Baccarin and W. Earl Brown-starring "Fire Country" spinoff, Sheriff Country.
As the networks look to lock down their schedules ahead of Upfronts later this month, CBS rolled out its 2025-2026 primetime schedule, as well as its 2025-2026 midseason premieres and 2026-2027 debuting shows. Set for Friday nights at 8 pm ET (ahead of Fire Country at 9 pm ET and Boston Blue at 10 pm ET), Morena Baccarin and W. Earl Brown-starring Sheriff Country shines a spotlight on straight-shooting sheriff Mickey Fox (Baccarin), the stepsister of Cal Fire's division chief Sharon Leone (Diane Farr of Fire Country). She investigates criminal activity while she patrols the streets of small-town Edgewater, contending with her ex-con father, Wes (Brown), who is an off-the-grid marijuana grower, and a mysterious incident involving her wayward daughter. Along with the announcement of when it will be airing on the network's schedule, CBS released a teaser (which you can check out above) with Baccarin and EP Max Thieriot (Fire Country) making the big announcement.
"Our 2025-2026 primetime schedule boasts a star-studded lineup of returning hit shows and new exciting series from top creators and producers," said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. "Coming off another winning season enabled us to make bold scheduling moves and fortify our strong lineup with thematically compatible programs every night of the week for strong viewer flow and to serve as a powerful launch pad for the new shows. Additionally, we're appreciative of our loyal audiences who regularly watch on CBS and Paramount+ and to our creative partners who continue to deliver outstanding content."
Produced by CBS Studios and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution, CBS's Sheriff Country stars Morena Baccarin, W. Earl Brown, Matt Lauria, Christopher Gorham, and Michele Weaver. Tony Phelan and Joan Rater are writing the initial episode, which will be based on a story by Phelan, Rater, and Max Thieriot. Thieriot, Phelan, Rater, Matt Lopez, and Jerry Bruckheimer & KristieAnne Reed for JBTV are executive producers.
