Get ready, because there’s a new Sheriff in town — a new Sheriff Country, that is.
For three seasons, Fire Country has set televisions ablaze with stupendous smoke-filled stunts, and now viewers will see a different side of the town of Edgewater, with a new spinoff: Sheriff Country.
The upcoming freshman series focuses on Sheriff Mickey Fox (Morena Baccarin), who was introduced in the second season of Fire Country.
“She’s part of Edgewater, and we’re just expanding the Edgewater universe. So I think it’ll feel like coming home when you finally are able to tune into Sheriff Country,” executive producer Tia Napolitano told TV Insider in May 2024.
Speaking to USA Today in April 2025, Fire Country star Max Thieriot teased, “Now we get to really dive deeper into her story. Even though it’s a Fire Country episode, there’s a lot of new texture to it.”
So how will the two series be connected? From the cast to what the show will be about, here’s everything to know about the Fire Country spinoff, Sheriff Country.

Sheriff Country follows Sheriff Mickey Fox (Baccarin), the stepsister of Fire Country‘s division chief Sharon Leone (Diane Farr).
Mickey not only has to worry about keeping the streets of Edgewater safe, but she also has to deal with family drama. In addition to reconnecting with her father, who was previously incarcerated, Mickey is still in contact with her ex-husband as their daughter struggles with drug addiction.
“The moral compass of the character is going to be tested over and over,” Baccarin said in a video setting up the spinoff.
How does Sheriff Country relate to Fire Country?

Both series take place in Edgewater, Calif., and in the second season of Fire Country, it was revealed that Mickey is Sharon’s stepsister.
“I was so excited to get that script. They’ve been developing it for a long time,” Farr said in a May 2024 interview with TV Insider. “When they told me she was going to be my sister, it was so exciting because every layer of family for a character just allows you to see a different side of them.”
In a clip discussing the two shows, Baccarin teased, “The Fire Country and the Sheriff Country family are heroic people having very intimate, real relationships.”
