Get ready to dive back into the scorching world of Fire Country, but here’s the twist: tonight isn’t the night. And this is the part most people miss—while you’re waiting for the new season, there’s a whole universe of drama and action about to unfold, including the highly anticipated spinoff, Sheriff Country. But let’s break it all down for you.
Fire Country, the sizzling action drama starring Max Thieriot, is gearing up for its fourth season, and fans are already on the edge of their seats. But that’s not all—CBS is doubling down on the excitement with the debut of Sheriff Country, a spinoff that promises to bring even more heat. Led by a stellar cast including Morena Baccarin, Christopher Gorham, Michele Weaver, Matt Lauria, and W. Earl Brown, the series follows the no-nonsense sheriff Mickey Fox (Baccarin), who just happens to be the stepsister of Fire Country’s own Sharon Leone (played by Diane Farr). Talk about family drama!
But here’s where it gets controversial: With two shows set in the same universe, will Sheriff Country live up to the hype of its predecessor, or will it carve out its own unique path? Only time will tell. In the meantime, if you’re itching to catch up on Fire Country before Season 4 kicks off, you’re in luck. The first two seasons are streaming on Netflix, while all three seasons are available on Paramount+. So, no excuses—binge away!
Now, let’s address the burning question: Is Fire Country new tonight? The short answer is no. Instead, CBS is airing back-to-back reruns from 8:00-10:00 p.m. ET—specifically, the episodes ‘A Change in the Wind’ and ‘I’d Do It Again.’ But don’t worry, the wait is almost over.
Mark your calendars: Fire Country Season 4 premieres on Friday, October 17, at 8:00 p.m. ET on CBS, immediately followed by the series debut of Sheriff Country at 9:00 p.m. ET. It’s a double dose of adrenaline you won’t want to miss.
How can you watch? If you have a cable subscription, you can stream new episodes live on CBS or the CBS website. But what if you’ve cut the cord? And this is the part most people miss: Live TV streaming services are your best bet. We recommend DIRECTV, which offers a five-day free trial and flexible subscription options starting at $49.99/month. Alternatively, you can catch CBS live with subscriptions to fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, Paramount+ Premium, or Sling TV—many of which also offer free trials for new subscribers.
For those who can’t wait until the next day, new episodes of Fire Country will be available for streaming on Paramount+ starting Saturday, October 18. So, whether you’re team live TV or team streaming, there’s a way for everyone to stay in the loop.
Thought-provoking question for you: With Sheriff Country entering the scene, do you think it will overshadow Fire Country, or will the two shows complement each other perfectly? Let us know in the comments—we’re eager to hear your take!
