CBS Eyes 'Fire Country' & 'Sheriff Country' Universe Medical Spinoff

Key Points:

• CBS is developing a potential third series in the Fire Country franchise, set in the fictional town of Edgewater, California, focusing on a medical team; this new drama is still in very early stages and has not been officially pitched yet.
• The untitled medical spinoff would connect to the existing shows Fire Country and Sheriff Country, with plans to introduce a character from it into Sheriff Country’s upcoming second season.
• Executive producers involved include Sheriff Country showrunner Matt Lopez, Fire Country co-creators Max Thieriot, Joan Rater, Tony Phelan, and franchise producers Jerry Bruckheimer and KristieAnne Reed.
• Fire Country, which was the most-watched new series in its freshman season, and Sheriff Country, the second most-watched new series this season, have both been renewed for 2026-27, positioning the franchise for potential expansion into a multi-series franchise similar to NCIS and CSI.
• CBS had previously explored a different Fire Country spinoff titled Fire Country: Surfside, but the current focus is on the medical drama set in Edgewater as the next franchise expansion.
