While Bode took part in a firefighting program while incarcerated, it won’t be as easy for him to join the force now that he is out.
“Bode’s journey from free citizen to firefighter is going to be a long one. We’ve covered on the show how hard it is. There’s so many hoops and red tape to get through to get your record expunged as an inmate,” Napolitano shared with Us. “I think seeing him fight for that is fighting for himself. They become one and the same.”
Napolitano reassured fans that they shouldn’t be worried about Bode not fighting fires. “He’s going to be all up in there,” she quipped. “He’s definitely going to be firefighting curious until he’s actually able to officially hold a hose again.”
Can the ‘Fire Country’ Universe Continue to Grow From Here?
“I think there’s still a lot of room to explore,” Thieriot said about the franchise during an interview with Us. “There’s more room to explore in Edgewater and outside of Edgewater. When I started, I was always putting the cart before the horse. In my head, I had probably at least three other versions outside of Fire Country. Whether any of those ever see the light of day — we’ll see. But I certainly have at least a couple more ideas for this world.”
Will There Be ‘Sheriff Country’ Crossovers?
A season 2 backdoor pilot introduced Mickey (Morena Baccarin) a.k.a Sharon’s (Farr) stepsister who was at odds with her in the past. After being picked up straight-to-series, CBS hinted that the spinoff will show Mickey as she investigates criminal activity and patrols the streets of small-town Edgewater while contending with her ex-con father and a mysterious incident involving her wayward daughter.
The concept of crossovers between shows seems inevitable and several cast members including Arcila and Alejandro have already told Us about how they would love to make an appearance on Sheriff Country.
