How to watch Fire Country and Sheriff Country in order

Fire Country became one of CBS's biggest dramas and has now expanded with the spin-off Sheriff Country. Here's how to watch the growing franchise in order.
Created by Max Thieriot, Tony Phelan and Joan Rater, Fire Country follows Bode Leone, a young convict who joins a prison release program fighting wildfires in his Northern California hometown, where his father is the local fire chief. Its mix of family drama and high-stakes rescues made it a hit, and in 2025 CBS launched Sheriff Country, starring Morena Baccarin as Sheriff Mickey Fox, Sharon Leone's stepsister, policing the same corner of California.
๐ Release Order
Release order is the easiest way to keep up, following the shows as they premiered on CBS.
- Fire Country (2022)
- Sheriff Country (2025)
The two shows share a setting and characters, and Sheriff Country was introduced through a backdoor pilot episode in Fire Country's third season.
๐ Story Chronology
Fire Country comes first, introducing the Leone family and Edgewater. Mickey Fox debuts in Fire Country Season 3, and from there Sheriff Country runs alongside Fire Country, with characters occasionally crossing between them.
- Fire Country (2022)
- Sheriff Country (2025)
Which Order Should You Choose?
Start with Fire Country from the beginning, and make sure you've seen the Season 3 episode that introduces Mickey Fox before jumping into Sheriff Country. After that, watch both shows week to week in airdate order to catch the crossovers. Sheriff Country can be enjoyed on its own if you prefer police procedurals, but you'll miss some of the family history. Both shows are built around close-knit families and small-town loyalties, so if you enjoy one, the other may quickly join your weekly lineup too.
