Fire Country is an American television drama series produced by Jerry Bruckheimer for CBS, starring Max Thieriot. It premiered on October 7, 2022.
Bode Donovan is a young convict with a troubled past. Hoping to redeem himself and shorten his prison sentence, he joins a prison release firefighting program in Northern California. He ends up getting assigned to his hometown where he must work alongside former friends, other inmates and elite firefighters putting out the huge fires that plague the region.
In November 2021, CBS announced it was developing a series with Thieriot, Tony Phelan and Joan Rater, based on Thierot's experiences growing up in Northern California fire country. The potential series was then known as Cal Fire. In February 2022, a series pilot was green-lit. The pilot was written by Phelan and Rater, with Thieriot as co-writer, and directed by James Strong. In May 2022, CBS picked up the series, now titled Fire Country. Tia Napolitano would serve as the series showrunner.
