Fire Country is grabbing Jared Padalecki for another possible spin-off series. Fresh off the cancellation of Walker, Padalecki will appear in a three-episode recurring role on the CBS series that could lead to him starring in a second spin-off for the drama. The first Fire Country spin-off, Sheriff Country, is planned for the 2025-26 season.
Max Thieriot, Billy Burke, Kevin Alejandro, Diane Farr, Stephanie Arcila, Jordan Calloway, and Jules Latimer star in the Fire Country series, which follows the members of a prison release firefighting program in Northern California.
Deadline revealed the following about Padalecki’s appearance:
He will play Camden, a SoCal firefighter and maverick with a surfer swagger who is a force to be reckoned with and immediately recognizes Bode’s (Thieriot) raw talent.
The deal with Fire Country producer CBS Studios is strictly for the recurring role, sources said. Given Padalecki’s status as a popular leading man with two hit series under his belt, I hear there is a possibility for the guest stint to lead to a new spinoff headlined by him that would join the upcoming Sheriff Country.
Keeping Padalecki in the fold has been a priority for CBS Studios following the end of its CW drama Walker, on which he was star and executive producer, leading to creating the opportunity for him on Fire Country. Walker was canceled for financial reasons despite being the network’s most watched series.”
Fire Country returns to CBS for its third season on October 18th.
What do you think? Are you excited to see Padalecki on Fire Country? Would like to see him back on network TV in a new series?
WOW! JUST CAN’T HANDLE THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS! I LOVE FIRE COUNTRY, SEAL TEAM & WALKER! WILL DEFINITELY WATCH THE SPINOFF!
Just can’t do season 3. Made it through 2 but it was a struggle. Gives me a creepy in-bred family in the forest feel. With toooo much dama. And bad CGI.
Fire Country was a bit slow for me. I didn’t enjoy the first few episodes and stopped watching.
East New York was better.
Seal Team slated because no one wants to see the PTSD soldiers suffer from. It’s all got to be hunky-dory not upsetting the viewers.
Wouldn’t it have been easier for CBS just to keep Walker going on their own network, since they already owned the show?
You would think they would learn after spreading the CSI & NCIS franchises too thin, not to depend so much on spinoffs. Even Dick Wolf can only get away with that so many times. (there were a couple of “Law & Order” spinoffs that didn’t last long, and others that never got out of the gate)
I hope he won’t use his “Walker staccato voice” in this role or it will be tiring again to watch.
I…. Agree. …. with you
