Since premiering on CBS, Fire Country has become one of television’s biggest hits. The success of the firefighting drama has led CBS to expand the franchise into a shared universe, with new series exploring different parts of the fictional town of Edgewater.
Here’s a look at every Fire Country spinoff—both released and in development.
1. Sheriff Country
The first official Fire Country spinoff is Sheriff Country, which shifts the focus from firefighters to law enforcement in Edgewater.
The series stars Morena Baccarin as Sheriff Mickey Fox, the stepsister of Cal Fire Chief Sharon Leone. Instead of battling wildfires, Mickey investigates crimes, protects the community, and navigates complicated family relationships while serving as sheriff.
Because both series take place in the same town, crossover appearances between Fire Country and Sheriff Country have become a regular part of the franchise.
2. The Untitled Medical Spinoff (In Development)
CBS isn’t stopping with one spinoff.
The network is reportedly developing an untitled medical drama set in the Fire Country universe. The proposed series would follow emergency medical professionals in Edgewater, further expanding the franchise beyond firefighters and law enforcement. According to reports, a potential lead character may first appear in Sheriff Country before launching into the new series.
CBS has not officially ordered the medical series to production, but development is ongoing.
Why the Fire Country Universe Keeps Growing
The franchise has proven to be one of CBS’s strongest performers, making it a natural candidate for expansion.
With Sheriff Country earning an early Season 2 renewal and discussions about additional spinoffs already underway, CBS appears committed to building a connected television universe similar to other successful franchises.
Could More Spinoffs Be Coming?
While only Sheriff Country has officially launched, the future looks bright for the franchise.
If the planned medical drama moves forward, it would become the second official Fire Country spinoff. Given the popularity of the franchise, fans shouldn’t be surprised if even more shows are eventually added to the Edgewater universe.
