Fire Country S1-2
Nominated for this year’s Critics Choice Super Award for Best Action Series, Fire Country stars Max Thieriot (SEAL Team, Bates Motel) as Bode Donovan, a young convict who joins an unconventional prison release program in Northern California, where he and other inmates work with elite firefighters to extinguish massive, unpredictable wildfires.
Season 1 was CBS’ most watched new show of the year, so they’ve already ordered Season 3.
Award-winner Kevin Alejandro (Lucifer’s Dan Espinoza) returns as Manny, Jordan Calloway (Black Lightning’s Khalil Payne aka Painkiller) is Jake, Jules Latimer (Rustin) plays Eve, and Billy Burke (9-1-1: Lone Star’s Billy Tyson and The Twilight Saga’s Charlie Swan) is Bode’s dad, Vince, the fire chief. Tye White (American Auto, Greenleaf) joins the cast this season, and look out for a guest appearance from Emmy nominee Morena Baccarin (Deadpool, Serenity).
Co-created by Thieriot and Emmy-nominated Grey’s Anatomy producers Tony Phelan and Joan Rater, Fire Country is exec-produced by Oscar nominee and multiple-Emmy-winner Jerry Bruckheimer, who’s given us the hit CSI shows, Top Gun, Bad Boys, Pirates of the Caribbean, and more.
