It’s only been a few weeks since Fire Country wrapped up its third season in a blazing finale, which was shortly followed by the news that the show was losing two series regulars heading into its fourth season. Now, leading star Max Thieriot just delivered an update on the show's future that could be concerning for those anxious for another season. Just a few days ago, it was announced that Sheriff Country Season 1, Fire Country Season 4, and Donnie Wahlberg’s new Blue Bloods spin-off, Boston Blue, will air back-to-back-to-back this fall on CBS at 8, 9, and 10 p.m. EST. Thieriot recently sat down for an interview with TV Insider, and he spoke about how the show needs to “continue pushing the envelope” in future seasons:
"There will be some pieces that need to be picked up. We’re motivated to continue pushing the show, pushing the envelope, and trying to sort of allow this world to evolve and come up with new ways to surprise the audience and to bring the audience compelling characters and storytelling."
He also provided a status update on the next season of Fire Country, which is seemingly in very early stages of development, with the writer’s room having just begun:
"As far as what is going to happen specifically at this point, I don’t know. We’re just opening the writers’ room, so we haven’t gotten that far. I know that everybody’s really focused on finding out."
After starring in all 52 episodes of Fire Country to date, Stephanie Arcila is one of the names confirmed not to reprise her role as Gabriela Perez in Season 4. It was also reported that Vince Leone actor Billy Burke will not be back in Season 4, but this has yet to be officially confirmed. The Fire Country team spoke about these departures in a recent interview, highlighting the loss the series will have to overcome going forward, but wanting to ensure the show continues to tell authentic stories. In addition to Thieriot as Bode, Kevin Alejandro, Jordan Calloway, Jules Latimer, and Diane Farr are all expected to return in Fire Country Season 4.
Who Else Stars in the ‘Fire Country’ Cast?
All the aforementioned names have been series regulars in Fire Country thus far, appearing in all 52 episodes, but the show has seen other stars come and go since debuting in 2022. W. Tré Davis also starred in 17 episodes of Fire Country as Freddy Mills, but he has left the firefighting world behind and is now living happily with his fiancée and their child. Laven Ramblin also stars in Fire Country as Audrey James, with Tye White playing Cole, Carlo Fortin playing Ames, Michael Trucco playing Luke Leone, and more.
Fire Country Season 4 is expected to return later this year. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the series and watch the first three seasons of Fire Country on Paramount+.
