Attention all Fire Country fans. The first official spinoff series, Sheriff Country, is ready to make waves in primetime during this fall 2025-2026 TV season.

The series follows Sheriff Mickey Fox (Morena Baccarin) as she takes her straight-shooting approach to the streets of small-town Edgewater. If Sheriff Fox looks familiar, it's because she first appeared in Fire Country. So what else is there to know about the new drama?
