The trailer for Sheriff Country pulls back the curtain on the Fire Country spinoff. Heading to CBS in just under a month, Sheriff Country centers on the titular Mickey Fox (Morena Baccarin). Straightforward in how she approaches her job, Mickey patrols the streets of small-town Edgewater. She also has to contend with her father, who is an ex-con, and a mystery involving her daughter.
Debuting on CBS on October 17 at 9 PM ET, Sheriff Country will follow the Fire Country season 4 premiere. It will then shift to its regular timeslot, coming at 8 PM ET. While the show is still a few more weeks away from release, a new teaser hints at what to expect when the stepsister of Sharon Leone takes center stage.
The trailer for Sheriff Country promises a deeper look at Mickey, delving into her fraught family relationships and some of the action that viewers can expect to see when the Fire Country franchise takes over Friday nights on CBS. Check it out below:
What The Sheriff Country Traiier Reveals

The trailer opens with Mickey facing a sense of danger just when she goes knocking on a door. To make matters worse, the town of Eddgewater doesn't trust her leadership. But while the CBS preview does shine a spotlight on the procedural elements, it is more of a showcase of the familial dynamics that fuel the spinoff.
Mickey's father (played by W. Earl Brown) is an ex-con. Her daughter, Skye (Amanda Arcuri), is going through her own mental health struggles and may be caught up in a romantic relationship that is unhealthy. All of this complicates her goal of reminding the town that she is still a good sheriff, even though she is overworked and could use a helping hand.
After the devastating Fire Country season 3 finale, with Vince confirmed to be dead, Fire Country's Bode (Max Thieriot) will guest star in the debut of the spinoff. That could serve as a link between the two dramas, coming at a crucial moment, but the trailer's main focus is on highlighting the new faces that audiences will be seeing.
