A clip for Fire Country season 2 confirms a time jump. Debuting on CBS in October 2022 with the trio of Max Thieriot, Tony Phelan, and Joan Rater as creators, Fire Country centers on Bode Donovan (Thieriot), a convict with a troubled past. To redeem himself and shorten his prison sentence, he volunteers for Cal Fire. But in the twisty Fire Country season 1 ending, Bode ends up back in prison. Though he's done nothing wrong, he accepts the blame so that his friend Freddy (W. Tre Davis) can go free.
