CBS’ fans who want to watch a new episode of Fire Country will have to wait a bit longer until the show is broadcasted. The series is on a short hiatus due to the March madness coverage and will be back with a crisp new episode on Friday, April 4, 2025, at its regular time of 9:00 p.m. ET.
Nevertheless, the fire trucks are not the only thing cooking at the moment.
What Happened to Tonight’s Episode?

Luckily, this break is for a short time only so that Fire Country will be back to the schedule. The upcoming episode is titled “Dirty Money”.
What to Expect in Episode 16
As CBS has not yet unveiled the whole synopsis, the early teasers show that the conflict is taking shape in the town of Edgewater, both in and out of the fire lines. Another thing the viewers should anticipate is a major event, too.
Why? The reason is that the episode will also double as the backdoor pilot for the new show: Sheriff Country.
A Spinoff is Coming: Welcome to Sheriff Country
That right—CBS is extending the Fire Country universe. The said spinoff will have its focal star, Sheriff Mickey Fox, portrayed by Morena Baccarin, a character who already appeared in the show in its first season.
The pilot of Sheriff Country will sympathize with Fox’s multi-occupational life in the cop world and her intricate connection with the family. One of the central plotlines will put her in touch with her estranged dad who is illegally cultivating and selling marijuana in Northern California.
On the date of April 4, the first episode lets Fire Country fans get a taste of the upcoming new series of CBS Procedurals.
