Baccarin was introduced as Sheriff Mickey Fox, the stepsister of Cal Fire's division chief Sharon Leone (Diane Farr), in Season 2 of Fire Country.

The character will be the center of her own show, Sheriff Country, which will debut in the 2025-26 television season.

CBS said in a press release Thursday that Fox will be seen investigating "criminal activity as she patrols the streets of small-town Edgewater while contending with her ex-con father and a mysterious incident involving her wayward daughter."

No other casting has been announced yet.

Fire Country has been renewed for a third season.
