About FIRE COUNTRY
FIRE COUNTRY stars Max Thieriot, as Bode Donovan, a young convict seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence by joining a prison release firefighting program in Northern California, where he and other inmates are partnered with elite firefighters to extinguish massive, unpredictable wildfires across the region. It’s a high-risk, high-reward assignment, and the heat is turned up when Bode is assigned to the program in his rural hometown, where he was once a golden all-American son – until his troubles began. Years ago, Bode burned down everything in his life, leaving town with a big secret. Now he’s back, with the rap sheet of a criminal and the audacity to believe in a chance for redemption. Billy Burke, Kevin Alejandro, Diane Farr, Stephanie Arcila, Jordan Calloway and Jules Latimer also star.
FIRE COUNTRY was created by Tony Phelan, Joan Rater, and Thieriot. All three serve as executive producers along with Tia Napolitano, who also serves as showrunner, and Jerry Bruckheimer and KristieAnne Reed of Jerry Bruckheimer Television. The series is produced by CBS Studios.
