Morena Baccarin’sSheriff Country, thespinoff to the successful CBS action dramaFire Country, has added three new series regular roles. The show will serve as the first spinoff ofFire Country, which saw Baccarin in a season 2 guest role. Her arrival in season 2, episode 6 ‘Alert the Sheriff’ introduced Sheriff Mickey Fox, and functioned as a back-door pilot for theSheriff Countryseries, and the story will most likely function as a modern procedural, with Mickey protecting her local area. With Sheriff Country set to premiere in the 2025-26 TV season, attention has turned to casting.
PerTV Line, in addition to Baccarin and W. Earl Brown, who is on board as Mickey’s dad,Sheriff Countryiscasting for the roles of Mickey Fox’s chief deputy and right-hand man, Mickey’s ex-husband Travis, and Travis’s new partner and Mickey-idolizing female deputy.
