Fire Country Spinoff Crossover Preview: Sheriff Mickey Fox Is Both ‘Badass' and ‘Girl Scout' (Exclusive Video)
Fire Country front man and co-creator Max Thieriot says you will glimpse 'a bit of the underbelly' of Edgewater, Calif. when Morena Baccarin — star of the upcoming Sheriff Country spinoff — makes her second appearance as Mickey Fox. In this week's episode of CBS' Fire Country, titled 'Dirty Money' and airing Friday at 9/8c, Bode (played by Thieriot) and his aunt, Sheriff Mickey Fox (Baccarin), investigate the attempted murder of her estranged father, Wes. More from TVLine NCIS: Origins Exclusive: Future NCIS Los Angeles Office Boss to Appear in Season 1 Finale Exclusive FBI Photos: As Isobel Ponders Her Future, Tom Cavanagh Debuts as Husband Phillip Watson Renewed for Season 2 at CBS W. Earl Brown guest-stars in the episode as Wes, and will star opposite Baccarin on the Sheriff Country spinoff premiering this fall. In the video above, Brown describes Wes as Mickey's 'ne'er-do-well dad,' seeing as he runs an illegal marijuana business right under his lawman daughter's nose. 'We might be family, but there's certain things she can't know,' the Deadwood alum previews. Baccarin in turn says that Mickey's 'moral compass… will be tested over and over' by her father. Or as Thieriot puts it, 'she can be badass sheriff' and 'Girl Scout sheriff.' Sheriff Country Spinoff Set for Fall 2025 — Here's Everything We Know View List Baccarin made her debut as Mickey in an April 2024 episode of Fire Country, in which a fire camp inmate escaped from Three Rock and Edgewater's deputy sheriff was called to investigate. In that episode, we learned of Mickey's strained bond with stepsister Sharon (Diane Farr), and that her daughter Skye is in rehab. The official synopsis for Sheriff Country, ordered to series almost a year ago but held for this fall, says that 'straight-shooting sheriff Mickey Fox' 'investigates 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.'
