With all of the talent fueling the series behind the scenes, Fire Country has become one of the hit new series on TV in fall 2022. Not only is Hollywood legend and 10-time-Emmy-winning producer Jerry Bruckheimer (The Amazing Race, CSI: Vegas) on board as an executive producer, but the showrunner is Tia Napolitano, who served as a producer on Grey’s Anatomy, Station 19 and Scandal. With Napolitano in the mix, we can only hope that a little Shonda Rhimes magic somehow makes its way to the new CBS show.
In some good news for those already getting hooked on the series, Deadline reports the show has already received a full-season order from CBS. That's definitely a great sign that the show is worth you investing your time in.
Here's everything we know about Fire Country.

Fire Country plot
CBS provides the following description of the Fire Country plot:
"Max Thieriot stars as Bode Donovan, a young convict seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence by joining a prison release firefighting program in Northern California where he and other inmates are partnered with elite firefighters to extinguish massive, unpredictable wildfires across the region. It’s a high-risk, high-reward assignment, and the heat is turned up when Bode is assigned to the program in his rural hometown, where he was once a golden all-American son until his troubles began.
"Five years ago, Bode burned down everything in his life, leaving town with a big secret. Now he’s back, with the rap sheet of a criminal and the audacity to believe in a chance for redemption with Cal Fire."
Fire Country cast
Right off the bat, the casting is special because starring as the series lead is Max Thieriot. Thieriot is not only acting in the series, but he is on board as an executive producer. Furthermore, he created Fire Country using his experiences growing up in Northern California, or Fire Country, as inspiration.
It looks like Thieriot has entered a busy time in his career as Deadline reports that he will not only be starring in Fire Country, but he’s also scheduled to appear in SEAL Team season 6, which airs on its new home at Paramount Plus.
Here's a list of all the series regulars:
- Max Thieriot (Bates Motel) as Bode
- Billy Burke (9-1-1: Lonestar) as Vince
- Kevin Alejandro (Arrow) as Manny
- Diane Farr (Splitting Up Together) as Sharon
- Stephanie Arcila (Don’t Breathe 2) as Gabriela
- Jordan Calloway (Black Lightning) as Jake
- Jules Latimer (Guilty Party) as Eve
Fire Country trailer
On September 16, CBS released an extended trailer for Fire Country season 1. Who's ready to tune into the new series?
Looking at the first trailer, we can't help but be reminded of the first few seasons of Grey’s Anatomy in terms of the camaraderie among coworkers/friends.
